Global Climate Change

29.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

517
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

What is an Experiment?

19.9K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

418
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Microbes and Climate Change

63
Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...

Area of Science:

  • Climate Science
  • Environmental Policy
  • Sociology of Technology

Background:

  • Geoengineering is defined as deliberate, large-scale intervention in Earth's climate system to combat global warming.
  • Current geoengineering proposals are highly speculative, with research in early stages.
  • Potential technologies carry profound and unpredictable ramifications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze geoengineering as a social experiment, examining the interplay between research and deployment.
  • To investigate how knowledge and uncertainty are managed within geoengineering systems.
  • To propose a new governance framework for geoengineering research and development.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of geoengineering as a socio-technical system.
  • Exploration of the boundaries between scientific research and technological deployment.
  • Examination of existing and proposed geoengineering experimental frameworks.

Main Results:

  • Geoengineering blurs the lines between scientific research, technological artifacts, and societal deployment.
  • The experimental systems of geoengineering involve negotiating knowns and unknowns.
  • A new mode of governance, termed 'collective experimentation,' is identified.

Conclusions:

  • Collective experimentation offers a framework for governing geoengineering.
  • This approach addresses the profound and surprising ramifications of geoengineering technologies.
  • Rethinking governance is crucial for managing current and future geoengineering experiments.
