There's more on Dot Earth on relevant issues.
The primary objective is to integrate the relevant earth sciences, engineering and insurance data with the concepts of disaster risk management, taking into consideration the characteristics and sources of earthquake-related risks.
This special issue provides an overview of innovative research approaches that are specifically designed to promote a deeper ecological understanding of the effects of human-induced global change by explicitly addressing linkages between broad considerations of life on earth to biologically relevant responses from other organizational levels and spatial scales.
The externalist conclusion that the meaning of the English word 'water' (or the content of the concept thereby expressed) crucially depends on the assumption that the difference between Earth and Twin-Earth do not cause any relevant distinction between Oscar's and Twoscar's brains (and/or internal cognitive resources).
Climatic Change, 69, 419-426 Here are two relevant Dot Earth posts: "Will the Next Ice Age Be a Very Long One?" "More on Whether a Big Chill Is Nigh" And here's a suitable parting shot from my 2004 exploration of Greenland ice-sheet trends:.
To see where attitudes are in and out of sync with climate science, look back through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report titled "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation" and relevant Dot Earth posts aggregated here.
This paper reviews the technical evolution of optical fibre sensors relevant to earth sciences with particular reference to high temperature measurements.
Block's Earthling suddenly transported to Inverted Earth or some other relevant sort of Twin Earth would notice nothing introspectively, despite a change in representational content; so the sensory quality must remain unchanged and so is narrow.
These unique features allow world-wide users to select the best experimental techniques for tackling a wide range of problems relevant to earth and planetary science, materials science, physics, and chemistry.
Sure, there are some problems associated with institutionalization and careerism, but it's pretty much the best of all possible worlds, and if there isn't a widespread audience for poetry, that's all right too, because poetry just isn't that important or relevant or earth-shaking anyway.
Why is this relevant to Dot Earth?
