IMDIS
A distinguishing feature of IMDIS is the capability to find globally maximum concentrations under multisource/rose-wind conditions, either from real meteorological data or from potentially worst-case scenarios (critical conditions). The later seem to be especially relevant to the atomic energy industry.

Stolen Future, Broken Present
This book argues that climate change has a devastating effect on how we think about the future. Once several positive feedback loops in Earth’s dynamic systems, such as the melting of the Arctic icecap or the drying of the Amazon, cross the point of no return, the biosphere is likely to undergo severe and irreversible warming. Nearly everything we do is premised on the assumption that the wor…
