TL;DR: The work of the IPCC Working Group III 5th Assessment report as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change, which has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.
Abstract: The talk with present the key results of the IPCC Working Group III 5th assessment report. Concluding four years of intense scientific collaboration by hundreds of authors from around the world, the report responds to the request of the world's governments for a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change. The report has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of advances reported in the NDE of thick-section composites (structures of thickness above 15 mm are considered for the purposes of this review), and identifies future research opportunities to overcome the limitations of existing technologies.
Abstract: Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) research on composite materials has been ongoing for several decades, during which time their use has expanded significantly in the aerospace, marine, petrochemical, energy, construction and transport sectors. Initially, many composites were employed as fairings or reinforcements, but they are being increasingly used in primary and secondary load-bearing structures, where a mechanical failure has significantly greater safety implications. This increased scope has resulted in composite structures of significant thickness and complexity. Despite this, there has not been a corresponding increase in research pertinent to the detection and characterisation of defects in thick structures, apart from a brief period of interest by the NDE community in the early 1990s. This review critically assesses advances reported in the NDE of thick-section composites (structures of thickness above 15 mm are considered for the purposes of this review), and identifies future research opportunities to overcome the limitations of existing technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capabilities of the most common non-destructive testing techniques used to inspect the integrity of composite materials are reviewed, depending on the occurring damage mechanism and the conditions of use, or several techniques should be combined to improve the diagnosis of the damage state of the structures.
Abstract: Polymer composite materials are being increasingly used in primary load-bearing structures in several advanced industrial fields such as aerospace vessels, railway wagons and mega-scaled wind turbines where detection of subcritical damage initiation can significantly reduce safety issues and maintenance costs. It is therefore crucial to inspect these composite structures in order to assess their structural health and to ensure their integrity. Non-destructive testing techniques (NDT) are used for this purpose, making it possible to monitor mechanical damage of composite materials under in situ or ex situ service conditions. This paper reviews the capabilities of the most common NDT techniques used to inspect the integrity of composite materials. Each technique has a detection potential and cannot allow a full diagnosis of the mechanical damage state of the material. Thus, depending on the occurring damage mechanism and the conditions of use, one technique will be preferred over another, or several techniques should be combined to improve the diagnosis of the damage state of the structures.
