Irreversible climate change due to carbon dioxide emissions

TL;DR: The climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop, showing that thermal expansion of the warming ocean provides a conservative lower limit to irreversible global average sea level rise.

Review of low-velocity impact properties of composite materials

TL;DR: In this article, a review of low-velocity impact responses of composite materials is presented, where major impact-induced damage modes are described from onset of damage through to final failure and the effects of composite's constituents on impact properties are discussed and post-impact performance is assessed in terms of residual strength.
