Earth system science

Makaryeva is a scientist studying how ecosystems self-regulate their environments, focusing on things like how forests influence atmospheric moisture transport regimes.

Her papers are fascinating on their own terms, and her blog posts, where she explores the idiosyncrasies of other papers on the Earth system, are an excellent examination of the role played in science by what I call the mechanistic reductive worldview.

She herself does not use this terminology, at least as far as I know.

A twenty twenty-five paper called Recent Gains in Terrestrial Carbon Stocks are Mostly Stored in Non-Living Pools went in search of this missing carbon in the world's forests.

Some look sort of like mushrooms growing out of the spherical cell surface.

The advent of these organisms markedly changed the nature of the Earth's climate, dampening its wild oscillations.

As a 2005 paper called The Role of the Global Carbonate Cycle in the Regulation and Evolution of the Earth System says, "It is not until the Mesozoic that a marked proliferation in coccolithophore and planktic foraminiferal diversity and abundance is observed.

Only then would a substantive deep-sea sedimentary carbonate sink have been possible.

Subheadings, machine learning, predictions of severe hail, wind, and tornadoes.

Let's ponder all that.

Once somebody has access to scientific data, what helps them do something interesting and useful with it? Luhmann is working to help people discover research across disciplines.

Earth System Sciences is among them.

And Ravi brings experience of what happens when those encounters involve artists, educators, industry institutions, and other people working well beyond the original research team.

So Ravi, welcome to Inside EOSC.

And that surge in carbon dioxide affects more than just the temperature.

As the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere rises, it impacts all of Earth's systems.

Just like yanking on the end of that tangled mess of headphones impacted all of the other items in my bag, and eventually everybody around us when stuff started falling out.

It's all connected, is what I'm saying.
