The #Earth Exploration Toolbook is made available for #K12 teachers from the The Science #Education Resource Center at Carleton College.
"Each activity, or chapter, introduces one or more scientific data sets and analysis tools that enables users to explore some aspect of the #EarthSystem."

As Latin American #EarthSystem scientists, we face several challenges from #inequality problems due to the under-representation of different groups to the lack of or limited funding opportunities.
:OpenAccess: Read our paper on these issues and how we plan to tackle them.

We just finished the #GlobalCarbonBudget workshop. Three intensive days (online for me) of learning new research insights on #CarbonSinks, land and ocean carbon cycle, #CDR, methodologies to track #carbon in the #EarthSystem, atmospheric inversions, carbon cycle predictions.
This, initially a purely academic project, is building profile and reaching out to wider audiences.
Thanks to organizers @pfriedling Pep Canadell and everyone involved!

We have crossed seven of eight planetary boundaries defining a safe operating space for humanity. These boundaries include climate change, biodiversity loss, land-system change and biogeochemical cycles. Crossing them could trigger irreversible and catastrophic changes to the Earth system.

Glad to see this paper out from The Earth Commission proposing new quantifications for #EarthSystemBoundaries that are both Safe & Just, for which I've been working on the climate and nutrient boundaries.

"#Nature study quantifies "planetary boundaries" for aerosol pollution, fresh water, nutrient cycles, biodiversity, land use and #climate, beyond which the planet is longer "safe and just" for humans."
βThese rapid changes to the Earth system undermine critical life-support systems with significant societal impacts already felt and they could lead to triggering #TippingPoints that irreversibly destabilize the #Earth system...These changes are mostly driven by social and economic systems run on #unsustainable resource #extraction and #consumption."

A new report warns that climate impacts are triggering tipping points in the Earth system. Tipping points are thresholds that, once crossed, lead to irreversible and catastrophic changes in the climate and the biosphere. The report urges policymakers and the public to take urgent action to prevent a planetary emergency.

#ComplexSystems interact in surprising ways, which makes the #CriticalZone such a fascinating place to study.
In this #ClusterChatClip Dr. Gabrielle Boisrame, based at the #Desert Research Institute, describes the importance of keeping in mind all the other parts of the #EarthSystem that work together as you pay close attention to the subject of your current #research.

Evolutionary ecology is critical to accurately predict coastal marsh drowning due to sea level raise. Vahsen etal 2022 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq0595
+ incorporating lines of evidence from plant physiology, genetics, and computational simulations
+ found rapid evolution of root traits (aboveground traits less variable)
+ simulations incorporating new data showed marshes less able to keep up with sea level.
