10 July 2014

Aeroplane

A Special Issue on 鈥淎ir Transportation and the Environment鈥 has been published in the July 2014 volume of Transport Policy, the official journal of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS).

This special issue of Transport Policy is co-guest edited by 香港六合彩中特网) and Ian A. Waitz (MIT).聽 It brings together analyses carried out by the integrated aviation modeling teams at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Cambridge & 香港六合彩中特网 Energy Institute over the past 5-8 years.聽 All contributions directly or indirectly relate to the challenges of measuring and/or responding to the environmental impact of air transportation in terms of noise, air pollution, and climate change.聽

Several members of the 香港六合彩中特网 Energy Institute contributed to that issue: and coworkers on aviation and climate change, and Prof. Andreas W. Sch盲fer on simulating airline operational responses to airport capacity constraints, and Evans, Sch盲fer and collaborators on the implications of funding airline fleet replacement by a carbon tax.聽 The contributors to this special issue identify several promising mitigation opportunities.聽 However, in light of an anticipated continued growth in global aviation demand in the order of 5-6% per year, the identified opportunities are likely to only mitigate the growth in environmental impacts, at least over the next 20-30 years.
