Earth Systems Scientist · Royal Holloway University of London I am a Christian and I have strong Muslim and Jewish friends as well as great respect for Hindu beliefs. I grew up in Southern Africa and I am well aware of the depth of some Indigenous beliefs. I think that having belief systems does give you a very different perspective sometimes. Now, in Christianity, the concept of the shepherd, human beings are here and this is our garden, our garden of Eden, but we have a responsibility. And if we choose to kick ourselves out of the garden, there are consequences. And that's precisely what we are doing. The garden is there, it's lovely, and we can manage it, and it's our job to manage it. We can manage it properly. We can respect it. It's for all creation, and it's very explicit that it involves all Creation. And that's a very fundamental biblical law that you have to respect all Creation. And if you don't do that, then the consequences—you're basically throwing yourself out of the Garden of Eden.

It will be tough for Fiona O'Keeffe to top her first marathon. But, she'll try to do it at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. Fiona broke running records virtually every step of the 2024 US Olympic Marathon Trials in February in Orlando. She's the first woman to win the Trials in a marathon debut. And, she broke the previous Trials record by three minutes! Fiona grew up in the Sacramento area. Her dream of being an Olympic runner started in middle school where she dominated in the mile and 800. She graduated from Davis High School and went on to Stanford University and became a 6-time All American. After graduating from Stanford with a degree in Earth Systems, Fiona's pro running career took off. She's a member of the Puma Elite Team and is training in North Carolina with her teammates. She qualified for the US Olympic Marathon Trials with a blazing half marathon time. But, she had never raced a marathon until the Marathon Trials and admits she learned by watching experienced runners during the race. On this Dying to Ask: The strategic advantage underdogs have in big races What happened on Instagram that let Fiona know her world was forever changed How she's managing the attention How some of the big names who didn't have their best day at the trials reacted to her win And what do the next few months look like before she heads to France for her second marathon

About The Guest(s): Ian Rowbotham is the Senior Land Stewardship Manager of Sempervirens Fund. With a master's degree in Earth Systems from Stanford University, he is an expert in redwood conservation and restoration. Ian has dedicated his career to protecting and restoring redwood forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Summary: Ian Rowbotham, the Senior Land Stewardship Manager of Sempervirens Fund, discusses the pivotal role of redwoods in the face of climate change. Redwoods are resilient giants that can sequester carbon and provide essential habitat for a diverse range of species. Despite the challenges they face, such as drought and wildfires, redwoods continue to thrive and adapt. Sempervirens Fund focuses on active management and restoration projects to protect and restore redwood ecosystems. Through fuel reduction, prescribed burns, and wetland restoration, they aim to create more resilient forests and safeguard these iconic trees for future generations. Key Takeaways: - Redwoods are resilient and adaptable, with the ability to re-sprout and regrow branches from their trunks. - Redwoods play a crucial role in sequestering carbon and providing habitat for a diverse range of species. - Restoration projects, such as fuel reduction and prescribed burns, are essential for creating more resilient forests. - Wetland restoration projects can provide habitat for threatened and endangered species, such as the California red-legged frog and Western pond turtle. - Redwoods are not only important for their ecological value but also as cultural icons that inspire and connect people to nature. Notable Quotes From Our Discussion:  “Redwoods are these incredible sinks for carbon, living 2000 years.” - Ian Rowbotham “Redwoods are sheltering and providing a last harbor for other species that rely on them.” - Ian Rowbotham “Redwoods have this incredible will to live and adapt to various challenges.” - Ian Rowbotham “We're trying to restore ecosystem processes and create more resilient forests.” - Ian Rowbotham

I have the extreme privilege of speaking with Nicholas Thompson today. Nicholas is the current CEO at The Atlantic and the former Editor-in-Chief at Wired. He graduated from Stanford University, receiving degrees in Earth Systems, Political Science, and Economics. In addition to his accomplishments in business and life, Nick is quite the accomplished runner. On April 14, 2021, he set the American record in the 50k for the 45-49 age group after finishing the race in 3:04:36 (5:56 pace for 31.06 miles). He holds a marathon PR of 2:29, ranking him as one of the top master's runners in the world at the time. Perhaps, most impressive, Nick commutes to work by running every day through the heart of New York City. I loved exploring this practice with him, how it came about, and what it means to him. Nick and I discuss his upbringing in the sport, his marathon journey, run-commuting, and what lessons running has taught him. We also dive into his years at Philips Academy and Stanford University, questions surrounding building a strong culture and leading a successful team of individuals at The Atlantic, staying present, what books have been most impactful for him, and the principles of good writing. Lastly, he takes us through making breakfast for his kids every morning and what he'd make Gordon Ramsay for dinner. This conversation was a ton of fun, and very insightful. I learned a lot from Nick and left this conversation a better version of myself. I'm confident you will be inspired by Nick and how he lives his life, ultimately impacting you to live a better life.

The smallest element in the universe has big potential for clean, sustainable energy. In fact, we've been using it as a fuel for vehicles here on Earth and NASA vehicles out exploring the solar system for many decades. So why aren't we living in a hydrogen utopia already, and how can we get there? In this episode, we discuss the past, present, and future of hydrogen energy, including the dirty side of hydrogen production and the current push for zero-emissions hydrogen to power our daily lives and decarbonize big-ticket industries like steel manufacturing.  Featuring:Adam Weber, a chemical engineer who studies fuel cells, electrolyzers, batteries, and solar fuel generators. Adam is the lead of Berkeley Lab's Energy Conversion Group and Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies, and co-director of the Department of Energy Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck Research Consortium. He is a senior chemist/engineer in Berkeley Lab's Energy Technologies Area. and Hanna Breunig, an environmental engineer who performs modeling and systems analysis to study the social, economic and environmental impacts of emerging energy technologies. Hanna is a research scientist in the Energy Technologies Area and deputy head of Berkeley Lab's Sustainable Energy and Environmental Systems Department. She also holds a position in Berkeley Lab's Earth Systems and Society Domain in the Climate and Ecosystem Science Division.Cheat sheet:More info on electrolyzers, the devices that use electricity to produce hydrogen gas by splitting water molecules. More info on fuel cells, which are the opposite of electrolyzers. These cells share many features with a battery, and use hydrogen gas to generate electricity. Water is made in the process. 

This month, the SpokenWeb Podcast features an episode created by our former supervising producer and project manager Judith Burr. This audio is part of Judith's podcast, “Listening to Fire Knowledges in and around the Okanagan Valley,” which she produced as her master's thesis at UBC-Okanagan. While Judith was working on The SpokenWeb Podcast, she was also working on the research methodology of making a podcast as thesis and on the compiling of interviews and tape that would become the sound of this representation and intervention in ecological thinking. The episode features a number of Judith's interviews about living with wildfires in the Okanagan, including the story and poetry of Canadian poet Sharon Thesen. Listeners of the SpokenWeb Podcast might remember Thesen from past episodes, including Episode 7 of last season about the Women and Words Collection, or from episodes of our sister podcast SoundBox Signals produced by the Audio-Media-Poetry Lab at UBCO. In Judee's conversations with Sharon and other interviewees, we hear first-hand perspectives of those who have witnessed and lived through the dangers of these wildfires. We hear about challenges of resource management and land-use planning in fire-prone geographies. And we hear about the role that storytelling may have to play in helping us reckon with these challenges.SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

Transcriptions of podcasts provide visual renderings of audio that increase accessibility. But what are the best practices for transcribing a podcast, specifically a podcast about literary audio? In this episode, Katherine McLeod of ShortCuts and Kelly Cubbon, transcriber of The SpokenWeb Podcast, explore the role of transcription in the making of podcasts and how responsible transcription unfolds through collaboration and conversation. In fact, their episode uncovers just how much transcription is collaboration and conversation.Part One starts with reflections from Katherine and Kelly about how they came to the work of transcription and key concepts that have influenced their thinking throughout the process of making this episode, such as accessibility and ableism. This section also features an interview with Dr. Maya Rae Oppenheimer, a studio arts professor at Concordia University and a regular user of podcast transcripts.Part Two consists of an interview with Judith Burr, the Season 3 SpokenWeb Podcast supervising producer and project manager, about generative challenges that have come up during collaboration on podcast transcription for the podcast and how decision making has evolved over time.And Part Three is an interview with Bára Hladík, a poet, writer, and multimedia artist, about  the convergence of disability, accessibility, technology, and poetics. Here, Bára discusses the healing possibilities of sound and the creative potential of transcripts.SpokenWeb is a monthly podcast produced by the SpokenWeb team as part of distributing the audio collected from (and created using) Canadian Literary archival recordings found at universities across Canada.

Joe Brewer has separate bachelors degrees in physics, mathematics, and interdisciplinary studies and a masters in atmospheric sciences. He is a complexity researcher, innovation strategist, experience designer, and serial social entrepreneur who brings a wealth of expertise to the adoption of sustainable solutions at the cultural scale. Among his notable achievements are the creation of an undergraduate degree program in Earth Systems, Environment and Society at the University of Illinois and design of new collaboration protocols for strategic communications among European NGO's with WWF-UK and Oxfam, in the UK. He was an active member of the Center for Complex Systems Research from 2001 to 2005, where he studied pattern formation in self-organizing systems. He was a research fellow at the Rockridge Institute in 2007-08 analyzing political discourse in the United States. He contracted with the International Centre for Earth Simulation in Geneva in 2010-11 to help build a globally-focused high performance computing facility dedicated to holistic simulations of the dynamic Earth. His experiences as a social entrepreneur and cross-disciplinary scholar weave together a combination of skills dedicated to open collaboration, interactive design, and empowered civic action for catalyzing change toward greater resilience in our turbulent world.More recently, he has moved to Colombia and is engaged in regenerating an area of dry desert with the aim of returning it to flourishing biodiversity. He has written The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth and established Earth Regenerators, a community, a study group and a place to share ideas that will bring us closer to a prosocial world, focussed on bioregions where the human and More-Than-Human worlds integrate, where we organise with direct local democracy, create a steady state economy, based on shared values and not on growth, and where we predicate our actions on trusting the good intentions of others. In this deep, penetrating conversation, full of radical honesty, we discuss the end of the holocene and its implications, explore the age of the anthropocene and what may come of it, and how all of us can become earth regenerators - what it means, and how it might work.  Joe outlines the processes of his 8 week course and his new GoFundMe project to birth a bioregion.

Jolene Brewster's ties to the Rockies really start at her family's roots in the area. They are among the pioneers of Banff's hospitality industry hosting tours and hikes throughout the Rockies since the early 1900's. The lifelong Banff resident seeks the harmony of nature, activity, & community on a daily basis. With an degree in Land Resource Management, the equestrian and former Stampede Queen (current ambassador for the Calgary Stampede) founded Natur'el Tea in 2005 which rebranded Jolene's Tea House upon opening a retail spot on Bear Street this year. Jolene's entrepreneurial spirit is dedicated to a deep rooted passion for people, health, and happiness. Jess McNally was born and raised in Alberta, and grew up ski racing at Lake Louise. She is passionate about the environment and ecology, and received her undergraduate and master's degrees in Earth Systems from Stanford University. After university she worked as a science journalist and a vegetable farmer before deciding to become a Buddhist monastic. She spent three years living at Zen Mountain Monastery in New York. She travelled to Asia where she was ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. She lived in the Indian Himalayas for two years, with most of that time spent in solitary meditation retreat. Afterwards, she spent a year in Madison, Wisconsin, where she was a fellow at The Center for Healthy Minds, which is a global leader in studying mind, happiness and well-being. About four years ago Jess decided to take off her monastic robes and move back to Canada. Her family had moved to Banff and she'd always loved these mountains, so it was an easy decision to live here. Jess has always loved tea, and was delighted when Jolene approached her in 2020 to become a partner in the business. Entrepreneurs are the backbone of Canada's economy.

After I moved to the west coast, I joined Apple. So, at Apple, I work on an anti-fraud team where we fight against all kinds of fraud and abuse within the whole Apple ecosystem to bring trust and safety to the Apple customers. Both experiments helped me prepare for my new challenge at Oxygen as a FinTech company. So, that's my career , how I passed from the traditional banking industry to a large technology company. And now I'm at the spin hat company Oxygen. (04:05) – A collaboration challenge, since you are the only one and only data scientist on the team, basically, you are collaborating with so many different teams and departments: from operations to marketing customer support or product features. So, you need to collaborate with every single one in the different departments and understand their needs, understand their pain. That also comes related to the first challenge. Collaboration comes with prioritization.(06:57) – Data science teams should be positioned as the foundation and the cross team within the whole organization. So for each line of the business, data scientists should have domain knowledge about the problem that they are trying to deal with(09:20) – I collaborate with our fraud team to set up a lot of protections in the core sets. We collaborate with different fraud vendors on how to set up all the parameters, all the controls in place in the fraud vendors for our sign up status. After the sign up flow is pretty under control, I built a preliminary machine learning model for the fraudsters, to detect fraudsters after sign up for the behaviors they show with our card.(14:48) – I see these days, as data scientists it may require different skills than before. Nowadays, maybe, coding skills are not required anymore with such a good tool for data scientists and for machine learning engineers. But, ultimately, I still think the important thing is the study section background on the machine learning algorithm, the deep understanding of the machine learning algorithms. Also what's important is the deep understanding of the problem they're solving.(17:41) – There are two types of team structure. One is like the data science team belongs to one centralized team and then people may wear multiple hats. So, one day you may work on project A, then another day and work on project B, versus another one that is more embedded.(20:33) – We launched a new product called Elements. So we are now offering four tiers of the product, with increasing cashback with different saving APRs, as well as other retail and travel benefits like priority pass, launch access, reimbursements, like digital subscriptions, like Netflix, and the Peloton Digital.  (23:08) – We are going to raise our series B soon and a series B is all about metrics. Whether your company is going to be sustainable, what's your retention, what's your user growth. So a lot of KPIs and the metrics you send show to not only our internal business, but also to work presents for our VC.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Los Angeles aims to be a global trendsetter in renewables and sustainability with a goal of going 100% renewable by 2035. In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg talks with Lauren Faber O'Connor who is the Chief Sustainability Officer for the City of Los Angeles. The discussion focuses on how L.A. is achieving its goal.“We have the power within this city to be able to do that because we control our energy operations through municipal utilities so it's an incredibly exciting process,” said O'Connor. Ms. O'Connor also talks about the scale of the project and the impacts beyond Los Angeles.“Not only are we doing right by Angelinos by leading the charge and really making sure that we are ushering in a clean and reliable and affordable energy system, but we know that what we do in LA has reverberations way beyond our border. Climate change is indeed a global challenge and so what we do here really matter from a global stage.” “We are moving markets when it comes to our pursuit of renewable energy of distributed local clean generation. New technologies that we're piloting here in Los Angeles – it has the ability to really move and commercialize new types of technology that's going to be needed not just in LA but anywhere else.”Ms. O'Connor has spent her career working on environmental issues from serving as West Coast Political Director for the Environmental Defense Fund to being appointed Assistant Secretary for Climate Change Programs at the California Environmental Protection Agency. Ms. O'Connor holds a Bachelor's degree in Earth Systems and Economics from Stanford University, and Master's degree in Climate and Society from Columbia University.

The final report of the federal government's Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has found Australia's tropical rainforests will dry out, marine and land heatwaves will become more frequent and intense, and thunderstorms will dump more rain and worsen floods as the planet heats up. The work of more than 100 researchers, the report said there is “a clear link between climate change and worsening bushfire weather conditions over the past 70 years”, and singled out the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests as one area of concern. Today on Please Explain, environment editor Peter Hannam joins Nathanael Cooper to look at this damning report and what it means.

The leader of the CSIRO's Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub, Professor David Karoly (pictured) was on his way, with his wife Susan, to a Rotary Conference at Wangaratta at which he would share the podium with Australia's Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Michael McCormack, and the Environment Minister, Ms Susan Ley when he stopped off in Shepparton to be a part of 10th-anniversary celebrations of the local climate crisis group, Beneath the Wisteria. The celebrations were held in an outdoor space at the rear of The Milkbar, a new cafe for the city. A small group of passionate people enjoyed the event, tea/coffee and eats, and after listening to Professor Karoly, spent about an hour talking with him and learning more about how the climate crisis is impacting Australia. I urge you to listen to "Music for a Warming World".    

Dr Katharyn Duffy is an earth systems scientist at Northern Arizona University. Collaborating with a couple of colleagues from New Zealand, she led a study, published in Science Advances, that suggests as global temperatures rise, a tipping point will be reached and trees will emit more carbon than they take in through photosynthesis - forests will become carbon sources rather than carbon sinks.

12 months on from the start of last year's horror bushfire season, four experts discuss what we can learn from last summer's fires to better protect not just property and assets, but Australia's biodiversity and threatened species in future fire seasons.'The impacts (of the fires) on biodiversity is greater than any other single event in our lifetime... They've set back years of work by individuals, community groups and governments on the recovery of nature in Australia...These bushfires were a dreadful event, but they were also an opportunity. They show us the future, a dystopia we need to try to prevent.'- Professor John Woinarski, Deputy Director of the Threatened Species Research Hub Original webinar hosted by: Threatened Species Recovery Hub Guests: John Woinarski, deputy director, Threatened Species Recovery HubOliver Costello, Bunjalung man and CEO, Firesticks AllianceVanessa Westcott, ecologist, Bush Heritage AustraliaDavid Karoly, leader, Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub

Joe Brewer is a true polymath and lover of Earth! He is executive director of the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution and the founder of the Earth Regenerators network, a study group for restoring planetary health and avoiding human extinction. He is the author of The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth(which will be self-published soon), where he brings together the fields of complexity, Earth Systems, cognitive science, and cultural evolution. Show notes: * causes of the planetary predicament — difference between learning and instinct * evolution of the human brain and technology, especially language * environmental fitness using technology and building on what came before * human ability to learn culture that can temporarily disconnect from the nonhuman environment (creating a temporary buffer) * disconnected in causality in our short term thinking = displaced causality * if we are to survive this time we will need to spread survival out in space, in time, and in causation * a future that no one can see but somehow still move toward it = we become the past of some future * collapse through the metaphor of hospice * complex sequence of collapses of subsystems of the body * civilizations as one long term living system, example of COVID and shut down as systems * collapse is plural * OPEC oil crisis in 1980 * wealth accumulation is like cancer * collapse of the US economy has been happening for 40 years * Confucius “If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children. ” and if you’re planning for 1,000 years grow a forest * Aristotle and teleological thinking * the original cathedral is forest building * cultural evolution and design of culture * population genetics * cultural traits * future fitness is our design challenge * bringing sacred relationships to our environment is an essential ingredient * cumulative culture = we can build on culture * cultural scaffolding or developmental scaffolding * David Sloan Wilson and wise management of cultural evolution * regeneration is a dynamic pattern * Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela * autopoiesis = self generated self expression * Janine Benyus and the Biomimicry Institute * real sustainability is regeneration * we need to work with living systems * limits to growth * Joe and his family decisions to move to Barichara, Colombia * having a daughter in this time * what do children need in this time? * our daughter is learning that what normal people do is bring rivers back to life and grow forests * Earth Regenerators Network * regenerating at the bioregional level * local living economies * 97% of our history we lived in small hunter-gatherer tribes evolving with nature * should we humans be here or not? * there is no singular human culture * we (humans) get to decide if we stick around! * without enough complexity and diversity in a food web it will collapse * loss of too much non human species and humans go away too' * should there be too many humans or balance and diversity of life? * “we need to deserve to be here" * The Kogi and pagamentos * debt of gratitude to Tierra Madre * gratitude releases hormones of pleasure * Paul Cherfuka’s addition to the stages of grief: the gift * you grieve because you care * to regenerate land we have to feel what has been destroyed * an ability to love that has no end * The true evolutionary adaptation for humans is teamwork * Your medicine is what you give, it’s your genius * we are the medicine if we realized we are the Earth loving itself * how to live in a landscape - to live in a place you love so much you will give your body to it * where should my body rest?

In the 1780s a farmer would make a discovery that would change the world forever. As the Scottish Enlightenment brought new science and ideas to the forefront, one man seems to be forgotten by time. A man who arguably made the biggest discovery of all time. That man was James Hutton whose radical theory would change the way we see our planet, and ourselves. Because James Hutton was the first person to attempt to prove that the planet was older than the Bible told us.Interviews in this episode:Professor Iain Stewart, President of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and TV presenter (BBC Men of Rock)Denise Walton, Ecologist, and organic farmer at Peelham FarmsProfessor Colin Campbell, CEO of The James Hutton InstituteDr Rachel Walcott, Curator of the Earth Systems section at National Museums ScotlandDr Hermione Cockburn, Scientific Director at Dynamic Earth, and TV presenter (BBC Coast)For more information about the podcast, visit: www.thebiglight.com/unearthedFollow the show on Twitter: @Unearthed_Pod See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How are artists using technologies to imagine alternate realities, new alien languages and manipulate time? How can artists make the invisible visible? Systems and Sprouts is a new episode with host Victoria Sin and guest host Victoria Ivanova, who works with the Arts Technologies team at the Serpentine on creative research and development. Together they explore the ways technology is being used as a connector to things we don't usually perceive, from extinct species and ancient landscapes to space bacteria and the manipulation of time itself. Interviews include Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Yasaman Sheri and sound works by Jenna Sutela.  Systems and Sprouts focuses on artists' relationship to technology and future thinking as part of a larger ecosystem that is building technologies of the future. You can gain more insight into the world of a new generation of artists and organisations working directly with art and advanced technologies by reading Future Art Ecosystems: Art x Advanced Technologies. https://futureartecosystems.org/ Image credit: Jenna Sutela, I Magma App, 2019.

A conversation with Founder of Living Earth Systems Eddie Garcia + Amanda ‘Pua’ Walsh They discuss...  The Uranus in Taurus invitation to revolutionize our relationship with the planet and participate in a great awakening for the planet and ourselves. The needed paradigm shift taking place that's asking us to be “leavers" instead of “takers,” and how this creates a healthier planet for future generations. How listening to our intuition, and being observant, allows us to connect to our true nature and bring needed, creative solutions forward. The gifts of cultivating stewardship with nature and becoming the connection between heaven and earth. LINKS:  Find out more about Eddy Garcia Here.

In episode 93 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons interviews Dr. Carolyn Kousky, the Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania.  In this lively discussion, Doug and Carolyn discuss: how wildfires in California drove their utility into bankruptcy and what policy reforms are needed to prevent this from happening again; who owns the legal risks of climate change; needed disaster aid reform; the dysfunctional nature of flood insurance and the need to help low income households get access to appropriate disaster insurance. These topics and much more! Donate to America Adapts Listen to America Adapts on your favorite app here! Topics covered: Climate change and California wildfires and that state’s unique legal liability to these threats. Who ‘owns’ risk when it come to climate impacts? What are the major shortcomings of disaster aid. The critical need to engage with decisionmakers early in the policy process. How do you make academic adaptation research relevant in the real world. History and role of the Penn Risk Management Center. The challenge of people making illogical home buying decisions even if presented with accurate disaster risk information. (think flood plain and coastlines) Low income families need for disaster insurance and policy reform to help them get it. Why would any rationale private insurer do business in Florida? Need a Medicaid equivalent for low income households on resilience. What are the adaptation academic opportunities in universities. Dr. Carolyn Kousky is Executive Director at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also directs the Policy Incubator.  Dr. Kousky’s research has examined multiple aspects of disaster insurance markets, the National Flood Insurance Program, federal disaster aid and response, and policy responses to potential changes in extreme events with climate change. She has published numerous articles, reports, and book chapters on the economics and policy of natural disasters and disaster insurance markets, and is routinely cited in media outlets including NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fortune, CBS News, and Business Insurance, among others. She is the recipient of the 2013 Tartufari International Prize from the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Dr. Kousky was a member of the National Research Council Committee on Analysis of Costs and Benefits of Reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program and is a visiting Fellow at Resources for the Future.  She has a BS in Earth Systems from Stanford University and a PhD in Public Policy from Harvard University.

The scale of human impact on our planet is not easy to engage with – even scientists often have a narrow focus on the specific problems they're trying to solve. In this episode, we talk with Professor Mark Maslin about humanity's impact on the planet and the new geological epoch into which we are entering as a result – the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is the scientific definition of the geological time frame in which human impact has become so large that we're now in a new geological epoch. It only identifies the “when” without ascribing causation, but will allow us to move forward to discussing specific causes. In this interview, Mark first of all presents the scale of our environmental impact with powerful data. First there is the tremendous impact from the vast amount of concrete we need for buildings and more, in fact we've already made enough to cover the entire planet with a 2mm layer. In addition, we've already destroyed what should be normal ecology on land, with only 3% of land mammals being wildlife (the other 97% being humans and domesticated animals). Not to mention the deforestation – we've already harvested effectively half of the trees on the planet. Mark talks about an inherent contradiction between the environmental problems we're facing and continued economic growth. We're currently on track to double the size of our economic system, but we desperately need to break our obsession with consumption, question the Western model and rethink the way we define economic systems to account for impacts to society. Mark believes there is hope that we now have enough knowledge to do something about our predicament, but argues we need several big changes. One is effective leaders who can make real change by leveraging crises to implement balances and checks. We need to take advantage of win-win situations where there is a positive impact that will also happen beyond addressing global climate impacts. Mark suggests we should tackle reforestation, as people move to urban centers and we have available land. He argues we should adopt Universal Basic Income so that people have breathing room to truly innovate and become entrepreneurs and problem solvers. And last but not least, that we should empower the next generation who is already motivated and engaging with climate strikes. Mark Maslin is leading scientist with particular expertise in past global and regional climatic change. He is published in over 165 papers in journals such as Science, Nature, and The Lancet and authored 8 popular books including most recently, The Human Planet. He is Professor of Earth Systems Science at University College London, a Royal Society Industrial Fellow, Executive Director of Rezatec Ltd and science advisor to the Global Cool Foundation. The post Episode 70: Interview with Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth Systems Science, UCL, author of The Human Planet appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.

BZE speaks to Dr Adrian Morphett, Principal Environmental Engineer at Earth Systems, about commercial biochar production from waste wood sources. Biochar is a form of charcoal produced from sustainable sources which when applied to the soil promotes carbon sequestration, and increasing plant growth and crop yields.

Several experiments are performed using a water tank with an input flow of water and an output flow. These experiments demonstrate the concepts of equilibrium and steady-state in system analysis and are analogous to various Earth systems; lakes and rivers and the overall heat budget of the planet. The greenhouse effect in the atmosphere is a mechanism for increasing the heat input from the sun in the overall heat budget of the Earth system.
