Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

26.5K
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.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

19.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

42.2K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Sustainable Development

14.0K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

258
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...

Global Regulatory Systems01:28

Global Regulatory Systems

212
Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental science
  • Climate policy
  • Regional planning

Background:

  • States lacking top-down climate leadership require localized carbon reduction strategies.
  • Subnational climate action planning is essential for effective carbon footprint reduction.
  • Georgia, a southeastern US state, lacks statewide climate goals, necessitating place-specific solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the use of coupled systems in assessing subnational climate solutions.
  • To develop a replicable methodology for deriving place-specific climate action plans.
  • To analyze the carbon abatement potential and associated costs/benefits of integrated solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing coupled systems analysis for subnational climate solutions assessment.
  • Embedding global and national research into socio-ecological-technological systems context.
  • Advancing traditional sectoral wedge analysis by incorporating solution interdependencies and spanning carbon sources/sinks.
  • Developing a carbon abatement cost curve aligning private and social costs/benefits.

Main Results:

  • A system of 20 integrated solutions could reduce Georgia's carbon footprint by 35% in 2030 (relative to business-as-usual).
  • This reduction represents a 50% decrease compared to Georgia's 2005 emissions.
  • The study produced a carbon abatement cost curve detailing avoided carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) units.

Conclusions:

  • Place-specific climate action plans can be effectively derived from foundational research within socio-ecological-technological systems.
  • Integrated solutions offer a robust approach to carbon reduction, considering interdependencies and co-benefits.
  • The proposed methodology and findings provide a replicable framework for subnational climate policy development, highlighting broader societal impacts.
