A spacecraft at a Lagrange point feels a balance between the gravitational pull of two large bodies — such as Earth and the sun, or Earth and the moon — on a smaller object, and the centripetal force needed for that smaller object to move in time with them and thus appear to remain ...
Because acidification rises quickly in coastal areas it might be the leading compound extreme for most of the ocean but more nearshore observations will be needed to understand the relationship between MWH-OAX and ecosystem tipping. 3.3.2 Marine Heatwaves and Ocean Deoxygenation Extremes (MHW-LOX) ...
remotely sensed vegetation optical depth38(VOD). In fast-responding tipping systems, there is a clear opportunity to leverage remote sensing data to look more widely for resilience changes. For slower-responding tipping systems, the relatively short satellite era of ~50 years is insufficient39. Howe...
A "systems approach", with a strong focus on cross-sector interactions, is needed [5]. Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health 2012, 9 2136 Nowhere is the need for a systems approach more apparent than in the public health arena. There is a growing recognition today that ...
group/cross-panel process could be assisted by a series of workshops, similar to that hosted by ISSI, the International Space Science Institute in Bern, in October 2022. These workshops should be convened jointly by the three working groups of the IPCC and IPBES. For the IPCC this could be...
Here, it is interesting to note that this is approximately double the amount needed had the satellite been in a quasi-stable location, such as that around L4 and L5. The ISEE-3 mission was fundamental to the development of further launches, providing the groundwork for five more missions ...
Policies are needed for the effective protection of soils and their efficient use. Yet, current governance regimes are deficient in terms of protecting soils and ensuring their sustainable management [5–7]. To improve this situation, society is in need of (i) a thorough understanding of the ...
In order for crowd-sourcing to be useful in the case of SEMA the discretionary context needed to be removed as much as possible. If crowd-sourced data on functionality status is frequent and consistent the volume of "binary" (functional/non-functional) reports will present a trend of service...
