Temperatures—and concerns—are rising in the Arctic. Julia Brigham-Grette of the College of Natural Sciences at UMass Amherst's Department of Earth, Geographic, and Climate Sciences, a specialist in glacial geology and arctic paleoenvironments, was invited on BBC’s “The Climate Question” podcast to talk about climate change and resulting tensions in the Arctic. Brigham-Grette was joined by representatives of the Chatham House, the Polar Institute of the Wilson Centre, the Arctic Institute, and Investigate Europe. The podcast goes in depth about how global temperatures have increased about 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels all around the world, with different areas being impacted more than others. The local temperatures in the Arctic are skyrocketing up to four times faster than in other regions, resulting in the disturbance of the region’s ecological balance. This in return leads to significant amounts of ice loss. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRP7NkSp #UMass #CNS #BBC #Podcast #Earth #ClimateChange #Arctic

🔉Listen to our interview with J.P Brandenburg, author of Geologic Frameworks for Groundwater Flow Models! This book introduces techniques for creating the underlying geologic framework of groundwater flow models. It is arranged around a hypothetical site with contaminated groundwater, beginning with a discussion of data collection and geologic interpretation, then delves into the steps required to build a realistic numerical model. 🎧 Listen now 😊 Link in bio The Groundwater Talks Podcast has the mission to bring information about the main releases of the organization and groundwater information in an easy way so you can listen while you drive or do the dishes! #podcast #groundwater #spotify #geologic

Please note in the context of Earth System's Modeling approach. Kudos to Mercator and the leadership of Pierre. Also important to point out that as some of those ocean prediction centres are WMO designated modeling centres, the existing cooperation between all organizations will need to be further strengthened. We are well on our way to establish a digital ecosystem; and this will only make sense if data and products generated are interoperable from a user perspective. Technical regulations and standards will play a critical role.

🌳 Check out intern Aidan Dresang's article, "The Fellowship of the Tree Rings: A ClioVis Project." Aidan used ClioVis to uncover how researchers use tree rings to decode the past. He listened to a #RadioLab podcast on tree rings and history and then did additional research, mapping out the intricate connections between hurricanes, the Golden Age of European Piracy, and the Sugar Revolution, revealing the impact of environmental factors on human history. Read Aiden's article and discover how tree rings help us understand the past and can offer new insights into historical events. Gain a deeper understanding of our shared past and nature's role in shaping it.

"Offshore safety, it's not just a priority – it's a culture" With offshore projects often presenting heightened risks and exposure due to equipment and environmental factors, the need for stringent safety measures is undeniable. Yet, it's more than just mitigating risks – it's about fostering a collective commitment to safety, where every individual plays an active role in safeguarding themselves and their colleagues. Reflecting on the evolution of safety practices in offshore endeavours, it's evident that these lessons have been hard-earned.

With a family full of judges and attorneys, Mike Favetta, decided to take the path less traveled and took the meteorology world by storm; gaining local notoriety and collecting 2 Emmy awards in the process. Years later, his unwavering interest in the legal space and a desire to leave 2:30 AM wake-up calls behind led him to expert witnessing.

This episode of The Conversation podcast regarding the Anthropocene is well worth a listen: https://lnkd.in/eJ7v_eus. Its focus on whether or not the Anthropocene - a term that is now firmly entrenched in everyday conversation -- is a bonafide geological epoch or not, reminds me of what we often wrestle with in conservation, i.e., where to draw the line. Erle Ellis clearly articulates the perils of thinking about the Anthropocene in a binary fashion, i.e., “breaking earth’s history into two parts: a part that is considered to be transformed and a part before it where things are natural or untransformed”. Of course it’s far more complex and nuanced than that, as are many ecological realities, such as when is a forest intact (or not), or defining the disturbance threshold for boreal caribou ranges. People (and policies) yearn to define and declare what side of the line is good or bad (or unlawful or lawful), but it’s very difficult to do, and even more challenging to implement. This is even the case when there is relatively little conceptual debate about the trend itself, i.e., that human societies are transforming the planet, that forests are becoming degraded, and/or that higher levels of cumulative disturbance place caribou populations at higher risk of declining or disappearing.

Amazing and fun use of #digitaltwin (DT) technology. But much like the RRS Discovery helped launch the “Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration” for Scott and Shackleton on their first trip to Antarctica, #digitaltwins are vessels modern pioneers are using to explore new realms across a wide array of industries. One thing all these digital twin pioneers have in common? The need to wrangle massive and disparate amounts of #data. Michael Hotaling recently discussed, in the #podcast below, how ExxonMobil is leveraging #opensource to build more scalable DTs capable of solving multiple challenges - not just "one-off" issues. But he also states how access to good data is crucial and difficult. That's where companies like Edge Total Intelligence come in. Our #datamesh Digital Twins let modern pioneers access data in their authoritative sources - no need to lift or shift any data from anywhere.
