This presents challenges to generating the political change we need for embarking on more sustainable development pathways. In what ways does this disconnect affect the creation of appropriate policy, and how do we deal with it? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/#comments Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:14:12 +0000 kamalkapadia http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1659 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/how-to-deal-with-the-large-disconnects-between-scientific-experts-and-the-general-public/feed/ 0 Model experiments, intercomparisons and data evaluation are needed to quantify and help with management decisions and, ultimately, to provide scientific knowledge to improve the sustainability of the living Earth. Which interactive physical, chemical and biological processes – including the role of human activities from global to regional and at short and long timescales – are fundamental to study in order to gain a deeper understanding of the Earth System and priority areas such as vulnerability, impacts and adaptation? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/model-experiments-intercomparisons-and-data-evaluation-are-needed-to-quantify-and-help-with-management-decisions-and-ultimately-to-provide-scientific-knowledge-to-improve-the-sustainability-of-the/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/model-experiments-intercomparisons-and-data-evaluation-are-needed-to-quantify-and-help-with-management-decisions-and-ultimately-to-provide-scientific-knowledge-to-improve-the-sustainability-of-the/#comments Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:36:07 +0000 J.morais http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=2069 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/09/model-experiments-intercomparisons-and-data-evaluation-are-needed-to-quantify-and-help-with-management-decisions-and-ultimately-to-provide-scientific-knowledge-to-improve-the-sustainability-of-the/feed/ 0 What do Amazonian Dark Earths or terra preta have to do with the Global Climate and what lessons can they teach us about sustainable development and human/environment interaction? http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/amazonian-dark-earths/ http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/amazonian-dark-earths/#comments Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:48:40 +0000 morgans http://www.icsu-visioning.org/?p=1130 http://www.icsu-visioning.org/2009/08/amazonian-dark-earths/feed/ 0
