Last week in Karlsruhe (Germany), the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) Symposium 2026 brought together atmospheric scientists and Earth system modelers to discuss the latest advancements in climate simulation. Representing the F4EClim project, Katarina Grubbe Hildebrandt from TU Delft presented cutting-edge research aimed at minimizing the climate impact of aviation through smarter, data-driven flight routing. The Challenge: Beyond CO2​ While carbon dioxide emissions fro

The F4EClim project contributed to the 2026 General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), where atmospheric scientist and project coordinator Sigrun Matthes played an active role in advancing discussions on transport-related climate impacts and mitigation strategies through both scientific contributions and session co-organisation. Matthes served as co-convenor of a thematic session dedicated to transport emissions and climate effects, helping to coordinate scient

Meet Abolfazl Simorgh , Assistant Professor at the Aircraft Operations Lab of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) , who shares his contribution to the F4EClim project . In this video, Abolfazl introduces his research focus within F4EClim, which aims to improve the assessment and mitigation of non-CO₂ climate effects in aviation , with particular attention to contrail-induced impacts . These effects are among the largest sources of uncertainty in aviation climate impact as
