Science communication is not only important to discuss your research with the public, it can also help you to find new approaches to your own topic. With the help of our research communication funding and an illustrator, Dr. Franziska S. Hanf and her team from the Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) developed three ‘narrative images’ that illustrate different adaptation scenarios for the city of Hamburg in a changing climate. In our interview, she talks about the challenges and benefits of the visualization process: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eRV8PpTT For more information about the project, see also this CEN post: https://lnkd.in/e8uWZhQe

More expert evaluators from the Social Science and Humanities areas are needed to ensure the invaluable #SSH contribution in #HorizonEU projects. Cluster 5 Climate, Energy and Mobility calls need #SSH experts on their evaluation panels! #EUResearch #SSH #Cluster5 #GreenDeal #HorizonEU

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 I'm happy to announce that our latest paper, "Governance for Earth System Tipping Points - A Research Agenda," has has just been published (open access!) in Earth System Governance. 🌍 As scientific evidence mounts, it's clear that Earth system tipping processes—rapid, non-linear, and often irreversible shifts—are no longer distant threats. These tipping points could be triggered within the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C–2°C temperature range. The Greenland Ice Sheet, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and warm water coral reefs are particularly at risk. Despite the critical implications for society, our current global governance frameworks are ill-equipped to handle these challenges. Our research emphasizes the urgent need for new interdisciplinary approaches to develop effective governance responses. In our paper, we: - Discuss the complexities and risks associated with Earth system tipping points. - Highlight the inadequacies of existing governance institutions. - Propose a multi-phase framework for prevention and impact governance. - Identify key research areas and questions for future exploration. By advancing this agenda, we aim to provide actionable insights and strategies to address the non-linear changes and radical intertemporality inherent in tipping processes. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gYd5kwKN I worked with an amazing team of scholars, including Karen O'Brien Duncan McLaren Yulia Yamineva Emily Boyd Dag Hessen Frans-Jan Parmentier Elana Wilson Rowe Christina Nadeau Rolf Rødven Sara Constantino Desiree Treichler #ClimateAction #EarthSystemScience #Sustainability #Governance #Research #tippingpoints

Congratulations Donatus Angnuureng on your co-authorship of the paper, "Connecting climate science and society: reflections from early and mid-career researchers at the World Climate Researcn Programme Open Science Conference 2023" The paper summarizes discussions from the World Climate Research Programme Open Science Conference 2023 EMCRs Symposium, focusing on three key challenges: producing robust local climate information, addressing research gaps in the Global South, and enhancing EMCRs' role in policy-making. It advocates for a coordinated approach that integrates technology, interdisciplinary collaboration, and community connections to tackle the environmental crisis. Additionally, the paper offers recommendations to amplify the voices of Global South researchers and EMCRs in international scientific efforts, aiming to enhance the impact of climate knowledge on society and policy-making through urgent, collaborative action. #ClimateResearch #NewPublication #NewFrontiersinClimate

How to govern the uncertainty of the future? While governance often is a rather incremental response to regulate predictable envimental changes, the warming of the Arctic involves threshold-like feedbacks of a more complex structure, acting as tipping points. It has been a pleasure to dive into the details on how governance must adapt to meet the future with Manjana and a great group of co-authors. Please find the paper on the link below.

Alhamdulillah, I have joined the Earth Systems and Environment (ESEV) Springer journal as an Associate Editor. The Springer Nature Group publishes ESEV, a Q1 journal with an impact factor of 7.2 (2022) and cite score of 15.5 (2023). I hope to contribute to the high standards of our peer review process and promote high-quality research in the earth science field. #Earth Systems; #Climate change

3. Title: Gravity, Energy, and Civilization: The Interplay Between Universal Forces, Human Activity, and the Conservation of Mass-Energy 6. The Principle of Conservation Applied to Economic Systems 6.1 Economic Growth vs. Mass-Energy Sustainability Conventional economic models prioritize expansion and consumption, often neglecting the finite nature of Earth’s mass and energy. Sustainable economic principles advocate for circular economies, where materials and energy are recycled, reflecting the conservation laws observed in physics. • Circular Economy Models: These models mimic natural ecosystems, promoting resource efficiency, waste reduction, and renewable energy utilization. • Case Study: Germany’s post-World War II reconstruction followed circular economic principles, leading to sustainable industrial growth. 7. Philosophical Implications: Preserving Earth’s Integrity 7.1 Earth’s Preciousness as an Ethical Imperative The conservation of Earth’s resources aligns with philosophical traditions that prioritize harmony with nature. Indigenous cultures, Eastern philosophies, and modern ecological movements emphasize Earth’s sanctity, advocating for practices that preserve its mass and energy balance. 7.2 The Role of Policy and Governance Global policies such as the Paris Agreement aim to mitigate climate change by adhering to conservation principles, highlighting the intersection of physics, economics, and environmental stewardship. 8. Conclusion: Balancing Progress with Conservation The mass of energy held by the gravitational pull of the universe finds reflection in Earth’s ecosystems and human civilizations. As humanity advances, recognizing Earth’s intrinsic value beyond economic productivity becomes imperative. The law of conservation of mass and energy serves as a guiding principle for sustainable development, urging societies to align with natural forces rather than exploit them. The future of civilization depends not on economic accumulation but on preserving Earth’s delicate balance, ensuring that mass and energy cycles remain intact for generations to come. References 1.
