Sentences with phrase «planetary boundary processes»

However, they do not sufficiently address interactions between Planetary Boundary processes, nor the EU's international environmental «footprint».

(1) We have never argued that there are planetary scale tipping points for all Planetary Boundary processes.

Not exact matches

The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the Earth system.

Steffen et al (2015) revise the «planetary boundaries framework» initially proposed in 2009 as the «safe limits» for human alteration of Earth processes (Rockstrom et al 2009).

Thus, some heat gets converted to kinetic energy, but that gets converted back to heat, either by viscosity or by thermally - indirect circulations that produce APE while pulling heat downward in the process (LHSO: Ferrel cell (driven by extratropical storm track activity), Planetary - scale overturning in the stratosphere and mesosphere (includes Brewer - Dobson circulation (I'm not sure if the whole thing is the Brewer - Dobson circulation or if only part of it is)-RRB-, some motions in the ocean; LVO: wind driven mixing of the boundary layer and of the upper ocean (though mixing itself tends to destroy the APE that the kinetic energy would create by forcing heat downward)-RRB-.

In essence, the Planetary Boundary analysis simply identifies Earth System processes that — in the same manner as climate — regulate the stability of the Earth System, and if impacted too far by human activities potentially can disrupt the functioning of the Earth System.

(2) Establishing the Planetary Boundaries, i.e. identifying Earth System scale boundaries for environmental processes that regulate the stability of the planet, does not (of course) contradict or replace the need for local action, transparency and democratic Boundaries, i.e. identifying Earth System scale boundaries for environmental processes that regulate the stability of the planet, does not (of course) contradict or replace the need for local action, transparency and democratic boundaries for environmental processes that regulate the stability of the planet, does not (of course) contradict or replace the need for local action, transparency and democratic processes.

Our Planetary Boundaries research identifies that there are also other processes critical to the functioning of the Earth System that are so impacted by human activities that they, too, demand management at the global level.

These processes include the daily evolution of the planetary boundary layer, and the development of low level and mountain barrier jets.

The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the Earth system.

The Planetary Boundaries framework proposes quantitative limits for human perturbation of critical Earth system processes, and a «safe operating space» within which human activity should attempt to stay in order to avert the risk of large - scale, possibly abrupt or irreversible environmental change.
