An iconic approach for representing climate change   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

International and national greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals implicitly rely in part on individuals undertaking voluntary emissions reductions through lifestyle decisions. Whilst there is widespread public recognition of climate change as an issue, there are many barriers – cognitive, psychological and social – preventing individuals from enacting lifestyle decarbonisation. More effective climate change communication approaches are needed which allow individuals to engage meaningfully with climate change, thus opening new prospects for lifestyle decarbonisation. This study presents an iconic approach to engagement, tested in the UK context, which allows individuals to approach climate change through their own personal values and experiences. The iconic approach harnesses the emotive and visual power of climate icons with a rigorous scientific analysis of climate impacts under a different climate future. Although some climate icons already exist – for example the Thermohaline Circulation shutdown – these ‘expert-led’ icons fail to effectively engage ‘non-experts’. We demonstrate that the non-expert-led iconic approach helps overcome some of the cognitive and affective barriers that impede action towards lifestyle decarbonisation.  相似文献   

New insights into hominin lithic activities at FLK North Bed I, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania     

F. Diez-Martin  P. Sanchez Yustos  M. Domínguez-Rodrigo  A.Z.P. Mabulla  H.T. Bunn  G.M. Ashley  R. Barba  E. Baquedano   《Quaternary Research》2010,74(3):376-387

Recent work at FLK North (FLK N) has unearthed a new archaeological assemblage recovered with precise control of its stratigraphic position. In the present work, the technological study of the new lithic sample is described. The results show the co-occurrence in the same site of different technological behaviors. At FLK N, hominins were involved in both percussion/battering activities and, through freehand and bipolar knapping, in core reduction. However, the reconstruction of the operational sequences shows that core reduction was probably a marginal behavior, while percussion/battering activities occurred more regularly throughout the sequence. If hominins were not involved in regular carcass processing, as recent taphonomic studies suggest, then hominins' sporadic and low-impact visits to the site over a long period of time must have been driven by other activities probably linked to the exploitation of alternative resources. Plant processing could have been a plausible explanation for hominin presence at FLK N.  相似文献

Intellectual property rights and low carbon technology transfer: Conflicting discourses of diffusion and development   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Intellectual property rights (IPRs) and the transfer of low carbon technologies to developing countries have been the focus of sustained disagreement between many developed and developing country Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We argue that this disagreement stems from two conflicting political discourses of economic development and low carbon technology diffusion which tend to underpin developing and developed countries’ respective motivations for becoming party to the Convention. We illustrate the policy implications of these discourses by examining empirical evidence on IPRs and low carbon technology transfer and highlight how the two discourses are based on an incomplete understanding of the role of technological capacity in either economic development or technology diffusion. This has important implication for the success of post-2012 international climate agreements.  相似文献   

Unfilterable "geoaerosols", their use in the search for thermal, mineral and mineralized waters, and their possible influence on the origin of certain types of mineral waters     

B. Krcmár  T. Vylita 《Environmental Geology》2001,40(6):678-682

 Many articles describing the unusual mobility of solid particles in the subsurface layers of the Earth's crust have been published in the last decades, especially in the geological literature. In an attempt to explain this phenomenon, several hypotheses have been developed. The one closest to the behavior observed in nature is based on quantum mechanics. Based on this phenomenon, a new geological prospecting method called Molecular Form of Elements (MFE) was developed in former Czechoslovakia during the 1970s. It has been widely applied since for various types of prospecting, including the search for thermal and mineral waters. When using the MFE method for prospecting, the relationship between the ascending mineral springs and the four directions of structural faults was discovered. The possibility of whether a process, similar to the one acting during the absorption of elements when using the MFE method, can be a source of dissolved solid particles during the creation of mineral waters is also discussed.

“非地震物化探”的探索     

李小孟 《地球物理学进展》1993,8(1):88-92

石油物探近30年来均以地震为主,随着科技的发展,单一依靠机械震动的波动场来搞石油物探已暴露出成本高、信息单一的严重缺陷,因此,在应用新一代测量仪器、充分发挥电子计算机作用和综合多种信息的“非地震物化探”技术系列应运而生,并获得了高速度的发展.所谓非地震物化探,实际上就是指应用地质体的重力场、电磁场、化学场等多种物化信息来做石油物探的前期准备和地震勘探的补充.尽管她还处在发展的初级阶段,但已有突破并展示了较好的前景.  相似文献   

Communicating uncertainty: lessons learned and suggestions for climate change assessment     

Anthony Patt  Suraje Dessai 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2005,337(4):425-441

Assessments of climate change face the task of making information about uncertainty accessible and useful to decision-makers. The literature in behavior economics provides many examples of how people make decisions under conditions of uncertainty relying on inappropriate heuristics, leading to inconsistent and counterproductive choices. Modern risk communication practices recommend a number of methods to overcome these hurdles, which have been recommended for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports. This paper evaluates the success of the most recent IPCC approach to uncertainty communication, based on a controlled survey of climate change experts. Evaluating the results from the survey, and from a similar survey recently conducted among university students, the paper suggests that the most recent IPCC approach leaves open the possibility for biased and inconsistent responses to the information. The paper concludes by suggesting ways to improve the approach for future IPCC assessment reports. To cite this article: A. Patt, S. Dessai, C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005).  相似文献

Jason反演技术在天然气水合物速度分析中的应用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

梁劲王宏斌  梁金强 《南海地质研究》2006,(1):114-120

本文采用Jason反演技术对南海北部陆坡A测线纵波速度进行计算，结合BSR、振幅空白带以及波形极性反转等多种水合物赋存信息的分析，对水合物成矿带的速度特征进行了综合研究，结果表明：低速背景中的高速异常，是天然气水合物赋存的重要特征；高速异常体一般呈平行于海底的带状分布；在高速异常的内部，速度也是不断变化的。一般在异常体的中心速度最高，由中心到边缘速度逐渐降低，反映在水合物矿带内部，水合物饱和度由矿体中心向边缘逐渐降低的特征。本文的研究成果进一步表明高精度速度分析不仅可以帮助寻找水合物矿点，还可以进一步判定水合物的富集层位。  相似文献
