Extractions: The Berlin Conference Steering Comittee invites to the 2008 Berlin Conference, organised by the Oldenburg Centre for Sustainability Economics and Management, CENTOS , Oldenburg University, and the Environmental Policy Research Centre (FFU) of the Freie Universität Berlin. This 2008 Berlin Conference will be the eighth event in the series of annual European Conferences on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, and the first International Conference of the Social-Ecological Research Programme. It is held in Berlin on 22-23 February 2008. It particularly targets at bringing together trandisciplinary research results on long-term policies from various fields. It will provide ample opportunities to advance social-ecological research into international debates and to discuss future perspectives of this field. The conference format will also involve representatives of the particular actor groups such as businesses, civil society and NGOs, politics and the natural and social sciences to integrate their particular expertise. A mutual exchange between the different actor groups will be facilitated and the practicability of problem-solving transdisciplinary work will be discussed. We explicitly welcome papers that also integrate a gender perspective on these subjects. The conference will be held in English. The conference will run through two full days, with keynote addresses in plenary and semi-plenary sessions, and presentations of research papers in a series of six parallel panel sessions. All presentations will be solicited through an international call for papers. All paper and poster submissions will be reviewed by an international review panel before being accepted.

Surprise And Global Environmental Change Table 1 and Table 2 present a series of surprises pertinent to global environmental change presented at the AGCI summer session on Anticipating Global http://sedac.ciesin.org/mva/iamcc.tg/articles/surprise.html
Extractions: Thematic Guide to Integrated Assessment Modeling Stephen H. Schneider- Stanford University Billie L. Turner, - Clark University Abstract CLARIFYING TERMS 1. Surprise and uncertainty are often confused in the literature and in public discourse; various meanings are used within different communities and cultures. 2. Definitions risk: The condition in which the event, process, or outcomes and the probability that each will occur is known. Issue: In reality, complete knowledge of probabilities and range of potential outcomes or consequences is not usually known and is sometimes unknowable. uncertainty: The condition in which the event, process, or outcome is known (factually or hypothetically) but the probabilities that it will occur are not known. Issue: The probabilities assigned, if any, are subjective, and ways to establish reliability for different subjective probability estimates are debatable.
Microbial Activity Key Component Of Global Environmental Change Managing microbial activity can play a significant role in slowing adverse effects of greenhouse gases and other global environmental changes, according to http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/02/010213071440.htm
Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Feb. 14, 2001) See also: The report, "Global Environmental Change: Microbial Contributions, Microbial Solutions," points out that the basic chemistry of Earth's surface is determined by biological activity, especially that of the many trillions of microbes in soil and water. Microbes make up the majority of the living biomass on Earth and, as such, have major roles in the recycling of elements vital to life. Since the microbial world can contribute to as well as mitigate global change, its activities are important to understand as a sound basis for policy decisions and regulations. "We must better understand the human-microbe partnership so that environmental decisions that impact microbial processes will achieve appropriate balances in the atmosphere and biosphere. Otherwise, we will be increasingly challenged by unprecedented environmental problems," predicts Dr. James M. Tiedje, Michigan State University, an author of the report who chairs ASM's Committee on Environmental Microbiology. Microbial roles in global change include producing and consuming atmospheric gases that affect climate; mobilizing toxic elements such as mercury, arsenic and selenium; and producing toxic algal blooms and creating oxygen depletion zones in lakes, rivers and coastal environments (eutrophication). Furthermore, the incidence of microbial diseases such as plague, cholera, Lyme disease, and West Nile Virus are linked to global change.

Extractions: @import "ac07.css"; @import "ac07.css"; Frank Biermann, chair, 2007 Amsterdam Conference 22 August 2007 The mission statement of the Earth System Science Partnership calls upon social scientists to develop âstrategies for Earth System managementâ. Yet what such strategies might be, and how such strategies can be developed, remains poorly understood in the social sciences. Moreover, social scientists tend to disagree with the notion of âmanagementâ, and rather prefer the term âgovernanceâ, which is, in social science terms, rather non-hierarchical, decentralised, less government-driven and open for multiple perspectives and stakeholders. What are then the appropriate theories and strategies for sustainable earth system governance? This question stood at the centre of the 2007 Amsterdam Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, held 24-26 May 2007 at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The conference was the seventh event in the series of annual European Conferences on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, begun in Berlin in 2001. With more than 350 participants, it was the so far largest congress in the series of European conferences on HDGEC. The selection procedure for presentations was demanding: all presentations were selected in a double-blind review through an international review panel of about 70 experts, and every paper proposal had been reviewed by 5 international reviewers, with a rejection rate above 50%.

Extractions: Skip to content Site search: Login You are here: Home Postgraduate MSc We have reached a stage where most world leaders place the subject high on their political agendas. They realise that global warming will impact profoundly on communities and societies, and they realise that there is much to be done if we are to avert dangerous levels of climate change. All of them realise that government action must be underpinned by the understanding that science can bring.

Environmental Engineering Global Environmental Change Sudheendra Dhulipala Jun 1, 2007 In the recent days, the global environment is being affected greatly by human activities. Its impact has already been observed in many parts of the world. A number of environmental hazards have been witnessed in the last decade, and they continue to amaze scientists and environmentalists to date with the frequency with which they have been occurring. The purpose of this article is to examine how people and societies are reacting to the increased global disasters taking place these days. An event is labeled a hazard if it impacts a large number of people in the specific region and disrupts their normal lifestyle. Floods, earthquakes, severe thunderstorms, pesticide contamination, and toxic or oil spills are some common events that are termed hazardous. Hazards can be caused due to the action of nature, biological agents, social disruptions, technological hazards and chronic hazards.
