This model describes the boundaries within which human life as we know it can be preserved for future generations. The ability of science to quantify these limits is powerful and insightful. However, it is deeply concerning that as of 2023, we have crossed 6 out of 9 dimensions. #PlanetaryBoundaries. Check out more information here: https://lnkd.in/dRvjzay7

What are the world's biggest scientific breakthroughs in Earth system science in 2024? 🌏 23 National Champions from 23 countries will be announced next Monday, on Earth Day, 22 April 2024. Three International Champions, chosen by a jury of 100 leading experts, will be awarded with a prize of one million Swiss francs each to support their continuing research on planetary boundary science. The winners will be announced in June 2024. Stay tuned! #EarthDay #EarthScience #Sustainability #ClimateChange #PlanetaryHealth #PlanetaryBoundaries

At the end of 2024, our planet enters the 12,000-year cycle. We as humanity are not ready for this, neither scientifically, nor technically nor in terms of morality and humaneness. But we still have a little time to curb the climatic Cerberus. It is necessary to create conditions to unite all our scientific potential, but this is a task for each of us. The participation of every person is important! #climatechange #cerberus #science #technology

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Senior Scientist Benjamin Van Mooy named 2024 MacArthur Fellow. 💫 "Van Mooy’s research has broad implications on understanding of how the ocean impacts and can help regulate climate. His work focuses on the many ways microbial organisms like plankton contribute to maintaining the health of marine environments and play critical roles in nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon cycling in the ocean. In particular, his research on planktonic lipid dynamics sheds light on how changes to marine ecosystems can impact food webs, carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and other biogeochemical processes."

The 2024 European Polar Science Week will occur from 3 - 6 September 2024 at the Black Diamond in Copenhagen, Denmark. The overall objective of the European Polar Science Week is to bring together the European polar science community and reinforce European cooperation for polar science. During this week, key scientists and stakeholders of polar science will have the chance to discuss the major challenges and opportunities in front of us, promote networking and collaboration across projects and activities advancing the EC-ESA Polar research cooperation. Key topics for abstract submission are the following: 1. The current state and forthcoming changes in the polar regions 2. Polar ice, ocean, climate dynamics and tipping points 3. Polar ecosystems, biodiversity and carbon cycles 4. Humans in the Arctic 5. Societal impacts of polar change 6. Polar observations, models and data  7. New methods for understanding the polar regions Session Proposal Submissions are due by 15 March 2024 🗓 For more information, please see: https://lnkd.in/efcdjcVQ

This National Science Week, we’re spotlighting the remarkable work of Professor Chris Greening who received the 2023 Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year. Professor Greening has redefined our understanding of life with his world-first discovery that microbes can live on air. While many think of microbes as pathogens, Chris’s research reveals their vital role in regulating climate change and air pollution. His studies show that atmospherically-powered microbes are abundant and active in soils and waters, removing 350 million tonnes of gases such as carbon monoxide from the atmosphere annually. Now a Chief Investigator of Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future, Chris applies his discoveries to understand climate responses and inform conservation efforts in Antarctica. Join us in celebrating Professor Greening’s pioneering contributions to science and species survival. Watch the video below to learn more about his inspiring work.

#Thresholds and #boundaries are vital for healthy relations and sustainable living systems: #planetary, physiological, #mindful (#psychological #Spiritual). The #natural #principle of RHEOSTASIS entails the implicit organizing principle of subsidiarity, by which systems are organized according to the most appropriate #scale. #GlobalCommons and #EarthRights provide a Terrific greatly appreciated way to protect the #planet, recognizing that 6 of 9 #planetaryboundaries have been exceeded. Likewise, acknowledging recognizing respecting asserting individual and collective rights is essential for human flourishing and #Wellbeing. #planetarytriggers
