Can nuclear energy contribute to the energy transition?
Axel Kleidon, Harald Lesch
In the course of the energy transition, energy generation from nuclear power - through nuclear fission and perhaps in the future through nuclear fusion - is often proposed as an al…
Droughts in Germany -- Why global climate change amplifies hydrological extremes
Axel Kleidon
The warmer temperatures of global climate change strengthen the water cycle, evaporation and precipitation increase. But the extremes of heavy rain, floods, dry periods and drought…
Wind energy potential of Germany - Limits and consequences of large-scale wind energy use
Axel Kleidon
The transition of our energy system to renewable energies is necessary in order not to heat up the climate any further and to achieve climate neutrality. The use of wind energy pla…
Thermodynamics of chemical free energy generation in off-axis hydrothermal vent systems and its consequences for compartmentalization and the emergence of life
E. Simoncini, A. Kleidon, E. Gallori +1
In this paper we demonstrate how chemical free energy can be produced by a geological process. We provide a thermodynamic framework in which to assess how life emerged at the off-a…
