  • Planetary Opportunities

    Ruth Defries, Ruth S DeFries et al.ARTICLEBioScience2012

    The global change research community needs to renew its social contract with society by moving beyond a focus on biophysical limits and toward solution-oriented research to provide realistic, context-specific pathways to a sustainable future. A focus on planetary opportunities is based on the premise that societies adapt to change and have historically implemented solutions—for example, to protect watersheds, improve food security, and reduce har…

  • The Anthropocene

    Open AccessWill Steffen, Jacques Grinevald et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Transactions of the…2011

    The human imprint on the global environment has now become so large and active that it rivals some of the great forces of Nature in its impact on the functioning of the Earth system. Although global-scale human influence on the environment has been recognized since the 1800s, the term Anthropocene , introduced about a decade ago, has only recently become widely, but informally, used in the global change research community. However, the term has y…

  • Albedo Enhancement by Stratospheric Sulfur Injections

    Open AccessPaul J CrutzenARTICLEClimatic Change2006

    Fossil fuel burning releases about 25 Pg of CO2 per year into the atmosphere, which leads to global warming (Prentice et al., 2001). However, it also emits 55 Tg S as SO2 per year (Stern, 2005), about half of which is converted to sub-micrometer size sulfate particles, the remainder being dry deposited. Recent research has shown that the warming of earth by the increasing concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is partially countered by …

  • Learning and climate change

    Brian C O''Neill, Paul Crutzen et al.ARTICLEClimate Policy2006

    Learning – i.e., the acquisition of new information that leads to changes in our assessment of uncertainty – plays a prominent role in the international climate policy debate. For example, the view that we should postpone actions until we know more continues to be influential. The latest work on learning and climate change includes new theoretical models, better informed simulations of how learning affects the optimal timing of emissions reductio…

Congress reacted in 1996 by including language in the FY 1997 Omnibus Appropriations measure that put a moratorium on any final regulation involving the recognition, management or validity of RS 2477 rights-of-way, unless specifically authorized by Congress. In a turnabout, those opposing DOI's proposed use of recordable disclaimers now to recognize RS 2477 rights-of-way maintain t…

  • Aerosols, Climate, and the Hydrological Cycle

    Open AccessV Ramanathan, Paul J Crutzen et al.ARTICLEScience2001

    Human activities are releasing tiny particles (aerosols) into the atmosphere. These human-made aerosols enhance scattering and absorption of solar radiation. They also produce brighter clouds that are less efficient at releasing precipitation. These in turn lead to large reductions in the amount of solar irradiance reaching Earth's surface, a corresponding increase in solar heating of the atmosphere, changes in the atmospheric temperature structu…

  • Changing atmospheric chemistry

    Open AccessPaul J CrutzenARTICLEEuropean Review1998

    Atmospheric ozone plays a critical role in controlling ultraviolet radiation levels at the surface of the Earth. The absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the sun and the warm infrared from the earth influence temperatures in the lower stratosphere. The concentration of ozone is affected by NO, NO 2 , Cl, and Clo in a complex manner
