Global Climate Change

28.7K
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?

20.4K
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.

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

326
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

270
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

441
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

27.9K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Area of Science:

  • Climate science
  • Knowledge translation
  • Sustainability science

Background:

  • Climate-driven crises necessitate actionable climate knowledge for effective decision-making and problem-solving.
  • The science of actionable knowledge is advancing, but understanding its scaling mechanisms and outcomes remains limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and elaborate on outcome-driven pathways for scaling up actionable climate knowledge.
  • To explore how different scaling strategies interact and influence the effectiveness of climate knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development.
  • Analysis of knowledge coproduction and scaling processes.
  • Identification of key actors and their roles in scaling knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Three primary pathways for scaling actionable climate knowledge are proposed: broadening participation, diffusing uptake, and aggregating impact.
  • These pathways can interact, complement, and tradeoff, influencing the overall scaling process.
  • Involving influential actors like practitioners and policymakers is key for aggregating impact.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the dynamics of these scaling pathways is critical for enhancing the production and application of actionable climate knowledge.
  • Effective scaling strategies are essential to address complex climate challenges.
  • Further research is needed to explore the evolution and interplay of these pathways.
