UN Ocean Decade’s Post

#OceanDecade Activity: Deadline Extended to 17 June for the Call for OceanPredict'24 Symposium Pre-Registrations and Abstracts This symposium, organised by OceanPredict and UNESCO Ocean, aims to contribute to the Ocean Decade efforts through the Decade Collaborative Centre for Ocean Prediction led by Mercator Ocean International. The theme, “Advancing ocean prediction science for societal benefit,” brings together experts to engage in science sessions, exhibitions, and discussions to help shape the future of operational oceanography. The goals include: 🔵 Accelerating the evolution of operational oceanography. 🔵 Identifying the changing needs of users and enhancing service delivery. 🔵 Aligning OceanPredict's objectives with those of the Ocean Decade. 🔵 Advancing international coordination and community building for future ocean prediction capacity. 👉 Don't miss your chance to secure your spot. Pre-register and submit your abstracts by 17 June here: https://ow.ly/2vws50SbJ05

📣 This year’s edition of the interdisciplinary #UniGR_CBS online lecture series “Border Realities” will start in October in cooperation with the Université Grenoble Alpes. The lecture series will deal with #borders and the nature-culture divide: Anthropogenic climate change and its consequences have eroded the Western paradigm of separating humans from Nature and Nature from Culture. In this context, it becomes imperative to reconsider the interdependencies between humans and the living world. The international speakers will address: ◾ Natural borders and the naturalization of borders ◾ The roles of nonhumans in bordering processes  ◾ Posthuman approaches to #borders ◾ The connection and difference between biological and political borders ◾ Bordering and #climatechange ◾ Borders and nature conservation The 2024/2025 edition of "Border Realities" is organized and chaired by Lola Aubry (UniGR-CBS, University of Luxembourg) and Anne-Laure Amilhat-Szary (Laboratoire Pacte, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes). The online UniGR-CBS lecture series #BorderRealities is open to join and aimed at researchers, students, and the interested public.

We had the opportunity to talk to Prof Steinberger about the "REAL" project. The #ERC is funding this research project that is looking at how societies in the North and South can manage the economic, political and social transition to and in a post-growth era. https://lnkd.in/eBXyvXdH #jksteinberger #HorizonEU

It's #EarthScienceWeek! This year's theme is "Earth Science Everywhere", which highlights the widespread influence of geosciences across STEM disciplines and the humanities. Learn how you can get involved:

Today, on World Science Day for Peace and Development, where UNESCO chose a theme entitled “ Youth at the Forefront “. I want to shed the light on the impact of science on changing societies prospective over generations and its powerful effects on humanity. 🔭 Science has solved many societal problems and is providing framework for understanding the universe around us. 🔭 Science has proven that we can learn through experimentations and so can societies. 🔭 Science has boosted our quality of living and wellbeing. And 🔭 Science can be the best tool to offer options and make informed decisions. ~ A very proud Scientist! #ScienceForHumanity

For a long time, knowledge and wisdom has been allowing us to cope with natural disaster and harness earth natural resources. The earth science and technology could be used as a guidance in sustainable development. Hence, advancing the earth sciences and embracing new technology become important in reaching the sustainable development goals. Knowledge sharing and technology exchange in earth sciences research is one key to foster this advancement. The International Seminar on Earth Science and Technology (ISEST) is aimed to become a medium for knowledge sharing, idea exchange, and collaboration seeds on earth science and technological research. The main theme of the 3rd ISEST is “Navigating the changing world through earth sciences and technology”. The theme implicitly underline the importance of adaptation in facing the changing earth. Thus, the 3rd ISEST will be emphasized on adaptable approach in natural resources management and adaptation to natural disaster, while still considering various subjects on earth sciences and technology.

Just ponder this fack for a short while ! Where Does Oxygen Come From? Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe, so in theory, space should be full of it. However, the space between the planets, stars and other celestial bodies is only thinly populated with dust, gas and radiation. Despite decades of astronomy, molecular oxygen (the stuff you can breathe, comprising two atoms, O2, joined together) is almost nonexistent. As Science.org notes, in space, hydrogen molecules, H2, outnumber O2 by a million to one. On Earth, O2 is abundant. It's formed by plants, algae and phytoplankton during photosynthesis as they take in CO2 and convert it into energy. Breathable oxygen forms around 20% of the atmosphere, and gravity keeps it closely bound to the planet, but in the upper layers, the pull isn't so strong, and the vacuum of space hoovers it up. Oxygen floating off into space at altitude is why most mountaineers need to carry reserves with them to summit Everest. Oxygen does exist in space, though the Goddard Space Flight Center notes that it wasn't formed during the Big Bang. Instead, it arrived due to nuclear fusion reactions in the newly formed stars. As the stars consumed hydrogen and helium, they created carbon and oxygen. At the end of a star's life, these elements — the building blocks of carbon-based life — are hurled into space. So, yes, we do come from stardust, but it's also stardust that's hoarding the oxygen molecules out in space.

My research paper entitled: "Safe SPACE UPLB Campaign: Creating Safe Spaces For All" has been accepted for Poster Presentation at the 3rd International Research Festival. This is my second time in a row to be accepted as research presenter at the IRF.
