Planetary Commons: Fostering global cooperation to safeguard critical Earth system functions Date: January 23, 2024 Source: Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Summary: Tipping ...

Zeta function: An analytical tool that encodes the periodic orbit structure of a dynamical system, analogous to the classical number-theoretic zeta functions.

Terrestrial ecosystems, vital for absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change, rely on Earth system ...

"We found evidence that may indicate a change in the structure of iron, which suggests perhaps two separate cooling events in Earth's history," Stephenson said.

New research suggests that the largest cosmic structure is even bigger and closer to Earth than we knew. It goes against scientists' models of cosmic evolution.

To limit risks for human societies and secure critical Earth system functions they propose a new framework of planetary commons to guide governance of the planet.
