Resumen
La Tierra
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias del clima
- Ciencias del sistema terrestre
- Ciencias del medio ambiente
Sus antecedentes:
- El enfoque estándar en la ciencia del clima se basa en la separación de las escalas espaciales.
- Las señales climáticas regionales se están acumulando con el calentamiento global.
- Están surgiendo discrepancias entre las señales observadas y las predicciones del modelo estándar.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para articular el paradigma dominante (enfoque estándar) en la ciencia del clima.
- Identificar las discrepancias y interrupciones emergentes en el modelado climático.
- Discutir las implicaciones políticas y las direcciones futuras de la investigación.
Principales métodos:
- Revisando el paradigma dominante en la ciencia del clima.
- Analizar las señales y anomalías climáticas regionales acumuladas.
- Examinar enfoques computacionales disruptivos y nuevos paradigmas.
Principales resultados:
- El enfoque estándar, basado en la separación de escalas, se enfrenta a discrepancias crecientes con el calentamiento observado.
- Los nuevos métodos computacionales están desafiando los paradigmas existentes de la ciencia del clima.
- Una 'crisis' potencial en la ciencia del clima se caracteriza por anomalías y trastornos del paradigma.
Conclusiones:
- Las señales climáticas observadas desafían los supuestos del enfoque estándar.
- La investigación futura debe centrarse en probar las hipótesis con datos del mundo real.
- Se necesita revitalizar el pensamiento conceptual para cerrar las brechas entre los componentes y escalas del sistema climático.

Global Climate Change
24.0K
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?
18.1K
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 Cycle
36.8K
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.

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Threats to Biodiversity
22.0K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

The Water Cycle
24.0K
The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.
