Globalization of land use: Distant drivers of land change and geographic displacement of land usePatrick Meyfroidt | Eric F. Lambin | Karl Heinz Erb | Thomas W. Hertel
Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2013, Pages 438-444
Several streams of research have recently converged to identify the growing importance of distant drivers of land change, interconnections between social-ecological systems that are separated geographically, and the indirect consequences of land use changes. Local to national-scale interventions to promote sustainable land use may have unintended effects owing to a displacement of land use within and across countries. Such leakage or 'indirect land use change' critically depends on international geographies of trade. Computing various material flows and environmental indicators embodied in international trade highlights the differences between producer and consumer-based biophysical accounting. Causal attribution of the links between material and monetary flows across countries, and actual land changes and environmental impacts at local level requires a combination of economic simulation models, statistical studies, place-based empirical studies, value chain analyses, and biophysical accounting. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
Something borrowed, everything new: Innovation and institutionalization in urban climate governanceIsabelle Anguelovski | JoAnn Carmin
Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 169-175
The traditional view of climate governance is that local action is shaped by international agreements and national policies, the priorities of funders, and ideas advanced by nongovernmental organizations and transnational networks. Some cities take action in response to these actors and the pressures they exert. However, most are motivated by internal goals and are taking independent action to advance their climate agendas. While mitigation planning is a relatively more institutionalized field of action than adaptation, cities in both the global North and South are testing new institutional arrangements and experimenting with adaptation and mitigation policies, plans, and processes as they seek to develop and advance their climate agendas. The lack of resources, capacity, and institutions to support local climate action appears to be fostering urban entrepreneurship, but these constraints also may be limiting the speed of program development and sustained gains that cities can achieve. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

© 2014 The Authors.The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual and analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that IPBES will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions. Salient innovative aspects of the IPBES Conceptual Framework are its transparent and participatory construction process and its explicit consideration of diverse scientific disciplines, stakeholders, and knowledge systems, including indigenous and local knowledge. Because the focus on co-construction of integrative knowledge is shared by an increasing number of initiatives worldwide, this framework should be useful beyond IPBES, for the wider research and knowledge-policy communities working on the links between nature and people, such as natural, social and engineering scientists, policy-makers at different levels, and decision-makers in different sectors of society.
Soil as a filter for groundwater qualityS. D. Keesstra | V. Geissen | K. Mosse | S. Piiranen | E. Scudiero | M. Leistra | L. van Schaik
Volume 4, Issue 5, November 2012, Pages 507-516
The filtering function of soil is an important ecosystem service for groundwater and surface water protection. The efficiency of soils as a filter depends on the behaviour of pollutants in the soil and the hydrological transport processes. This paper aims to identify knowledge gaps in processes influencing pollutant behaviour in soils and their potential transport to groundwater. Currently most soil-filter function research is approached from two disciplines, one originating from agronomical/environmental sciences; one from more fundamental hydrological process research. Combining insights and approaches from both disciplines through collaboration could lead to better understanding of this complex system and enhance assessments of management strategy changes, both over the long term as well as in different climatic settings. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Climate change and urban resilienceRobin Leichenko
Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 164-168
The notion of resilience is gaining increasing prominence across a diverse set of literatures on cities and climate change. Although there is some disagreement among these different literatures about how to define and measure resilience, there is broad consensus that: (1) cities must become resilient to a wider range of shocks and stresses in order to be prepared for climate change; and (2) efforts to foster climate change resilience must be bundled with efforts to promote urban development and sustainability. Emerging issues for future study highlight some of the challenges associated with practical application of resilience approaches. These include responding to equity concerns associated with uneven patterns of resilience both within and across cities, assessing the costs of implementing resilience strategies, and identifying options for harnessing the innovation potential in cities as a means to foster resilience and sustainability. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Interactions between nitrogenous fertilizers and methane cycling in wetland and upland soilsPaul L E Bodelier
Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 379-388
Recent dynamics and uncertainties in global methane budgets necessitate research of controls of sources and sinks of atmospheric methane. Production of methane by methanogenic archaea in wetlands is a major source while consumption by methane oxidizing bacteria in upland soils is a major sink. Methane formation as well as consumption is affected by nitrogenous fertilizers as has been studied intensively. This review synthesizes the results of these studies which are contradictory and await mechanistic explanations. These can be found in the community composition and the traits of the microbes involved in methane cycling. Molecular microbial investigations, use of stable isotope labeling techniques, discoveries and isolation of new species and pathways offer new insight into interactions between nitrogen and methane cycling. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Carbon-nitrogen interactions on land at global scales: Current understanding in modelling climate biosphere feedbacksSönke Zaehle | Daniela Dalmonech
Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 311-320
Interactions between the terrestrial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles shape the response of ecosystems to global change. The limitation of ecosystem C storage due to N availability, and the response of N2O emissions to environmental conditions and N addition have been intensively studied at the site level. However, their contribution to biosphere-climate interactions at regional to global scales remains unclear. A growing number of global terrestrial biogeochemical models provide a means to scale ecological understanding of the nitrogen cycle to regional and global scales with the ultimate aim to investigate the magnitude of nitrogen cycling effects on global biogeochemistry, as well as their indirect consequences for biogeophysical land-atmosphere interactions. Key challenges to modelling the coupled terrestrial carbon-nitrogen cycles arise from the need to account for micro-scale processes to represent and quantify important N fluxes, uncertainties in the representation of key carbon-nitrogen cycle couplings at the ecosystem scale, and vagaries in the available observations to constrain global models.The new generation of carbon-nitrogen cycle models suggests that reactive nitrogen deposition is associated with a moderate increase in current terrestrial carbon sequestration, providing a small climate cooling effect. The models further unanimously demonstrate that nitrogen cycling reduces both global carbon sequestration due to CO2 fertilisation and the carbon losses associated with climate change on land, in sum leading to an acceleration of carbon accumulation in the atmosphere relative to C-cycle only models. A recent study furthermore suggests a moderate positive interaction between terrestrial N2O emissions and recent climatic changes, although the atmospheric increase in N2O over the last few decades appears to be mostly associated with anthropogenic Nr additions to the terrestrial biosphere. At least some of these models can be used to assess the biogeophysical effects of N cycling through altered albedo and changed sensible and latent heat fluxes, but no study so far has assessed these consequences explicitly. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Transdisciplinary global change research: The co-creation of knowledge for sustainabilityWolfram Mauser | Gernot Klepper | Martin Rice | Bettina Susanne Schmalzbauer | Heide Hackmann | Rik Leemans | Howard Moore
Volume 5, Issues 3-4, September 2013, Pages 420-431
The challenges formulated within the Future Earth framework set the orientation for research programmes in sustainability science for the next ten years. Scientific disciplines from natural and social science will collaborate both among each other and with relevant societal groups in order to define the important integrated research questions, and to explore together successful pathways towards global sustainability. Such collaboration will be based on transdisciplinarity and integrated research concepts. This paper analyses the relationship between scientific integration and transdisciplinarity, discusses the dimensions of integration of different knowledge and proposes a platform and a paradigm for research towards global sustainability that will be both designed and conducted in partnership between science and society. We argue that integration is an iterative process that involves reflection among all stakeholders. It consists of three stages: co-design, co-production and co-dissemination. © 2013 The Authors.
Neonicotinoids, bee disorders and the sustainability of pollinator servicesJeroen P. Van der Sluijs | Noa Simon-Delso | Dave Goulson | Laura Maxim | Jean Marc Bonmatin | Luc P. Belzunces
Volume 5, Issues 3-4, September 2013, Pages 293-305
In less than 20 years, neonicotinoids have become the most widely used class of insecticides with a global market share of more than 25%. For pollinators, this has transformed the agrochemical landscape. These chemicals mimic the acetylcholine neurotransmitter and are highly neurotoxic to insects. Their systemic mode of action inside plants means phloemic and xylemic transport that results in translocation to pollen and nectar. Their wide application, persistence in soil and water and potential for uptake by succeeding crops and wild plants make neonicotinoids bioavailable to pollinators at sublethal concentrations for most of the year. This results in the frequent presence of neonicotinoids in honeybee hives. At field realistic doses, neonicotinoids cause a wide range of adverse sublethal effects in honeybee and bumblebee colonies, affecting colony performance through impairment of foraging success, brood and larval development, memory and learning, damage to the central nervous system, susceptibility to diseases, hive hygiene etc. Neonicotinoids exhibit a toxicity that can be amplified by various other agrochemicals and they synergistically reinforce infectious agents such as Nosema ceranae which together can produce colony collapse. The limited available data suggest that they are likely to exhibit similar toxicity to virtually all other wild insect pollinators. The worldwide production of neonicotinoids is still increasing. Therefore a transition to pollinator-friendly alternatives to neonicotinoids is urgently needed for the sake of the sustainability of pollinator ecosystem services. © 2013 The Authors.
Problematizing REDD+ as an experiment in payments for ecosystem servicesEsteve Corbera
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 612-619
This paper conceptualizes the REDD+ policy framework as the world's largest experiment in Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES). REDD+ promotes the commodification of ecosystems' carbon storage and sequestration functions on a global scale and it is consistent with market-based conservation approaches and the 'neoliberalization of nature'. REDD+ is therefore problematized on the grounds that, first, eases a transition from an ethically informed conservation ethos to a utilitarian one that simplifies nature and undermines socio-ecological resilience; second, relies on a single valuation language that may crowd-out conservation motivations in the short and long term; and, last, is sustained on a 'multiple-win' discourse that in practice lacks procedural legitimacy in many developing countries and reproduces existing inequities and forms of social exclusion. The argument is developed drawing on PES literature and insights from critical theorists and practitioners of nature conservation. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Conceptualizing urban vulnerability to global climate and environmental changePatricia Romero Lankao | Hua Qin
Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 142-149
Research on urban vulnerability has grown considerably in the last several years but is still largely limited and characterized by constraints based on interdisciplinary differences in definition and scope. This review explores how urban vulnerability has been framed in recent climate change and risk research and examines the contributions and limitations each of these approaches can make to research and policy. The existence of different lineages of research on urban vulnerability offers opportunities for understanding the nature and the linkages between the key dimensions and determinants involved, and hope for a synthesis and convergence, yet some daunting challenges persist. There are discrepancies in the focus, definition of key terms, methods and policy implications of each of the knowledge areas. Research on urban vulnerability is faced with a tension between the need to represent differences within and across urban areas given by the context specific nature of the dimensions and factors involved, and the desire to identify determinants and attributes of adaptive capacity and resilience across urban areas. A set of concepts and tools that cut across knowledge areas is needed to improve the understanding of how urban vulnerability is characterized and determined by issues such as thresholds, tipping points, second and third order impacts, and responses. © 2011.
Synergies of multiple remote sensing data sources for REDD+ monitoringVeronique De Sy | Martin Herold | Frédéric Achard | Gregory P. Asner | Alex Held | Josef Kellndorfer | Jan Verbesselt
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 696-706
Remote sensing technologies can provide objective, practical and cost-effective solutions for developing and maintaining REDD+ monitoring systems. This paper reviews the potential and status of available remote sensing data sources with a focus on different forest information products and synergies among various approaches and evolving technologies. There is significant technical capability of remote sensing technologies but operational usefulness is constrained by lack of consistent and continuous coverage, data availability in developing countries, appropriate methodologies for national-scale use and available capacities in developing countries. Coordinated international efforts, regional cooperation and continued research efforts are essential to further develop national approaches and capacities to fully explore and use the potential remote sensing has to offer for REDD+ forest monitoring. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Soil microbial sources of nitrous oxide: Recent advances in knowledge, emerging challenges and future directionElizabeth M. Baggs
Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 321-327
The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide can be produced in soil during several microbial processes. Understanding of the regulation of these processes and the conditions under which they are likely to prevail have advanced in the last couple of decades. This is important for the development of targeted mitigation strategies. Here the focus is placed on the most recent advances in understanding associated with nitrous oxide production during ammonia oxidation, and the nitrate reducing processes of nitrate ammonification (or dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium) and denitrification, including nitrifier denitrification in temperate soils. Some of the possibilities these offer for management to lower net emissions are outlined, and consideration is given to the current challenges and future directions required for these possibilities to be realised. These highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to understand the regulation of N2O production and reduction, synthesising relationships across a range systems, and increasing our predictive capability of interactions within the atmosphere-plant-microbe-soil continuum. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Challenges and opportunities in mapping land use intensity globallyTobias Kuemmerle | Karlheinz Erb | Patrick Meyfroidt | Daniel Müller | Peter H. Verburg | Stephan Estel | Helmut Haberl | Patrick Hostert | Martin R. Jepsen | Thomas Kastner | Christian Levers | Marcus Lindner | Christoph Plutzar | Pieter Johannes Verkerk | Emma H. van der Zanden | Anette Reenberg
Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2013, Pages 484-493
Future increases in land-based production will need to focus more on sustainably intensifying existing production systems. Unfortunately, our understanding of the global patterns of land use intensity is weak, partly because land use intensity is a complex, multidimensional term, and partly because we lack appropriate datasets to assess land use intensity across broad geographic extents. Here, we review the state of the art regarding approaches for mapping land use intensity and provide a comprehensive overview of available global-scale datasets on land use intensity. We also outline major challenges and opportunities for mapping land use intensity for cropland, grazing, and forestry systems, and identify key issues for future research. © 2013 The Authors.
Reactive nitrogen in the environment and its effect on climate changeJan Willem Erisman | Jim Galloway | Sybil Seitzinger | Albert Bleeker | Klaus Butterbach-Bahl
Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2011, Pages 281-290
Humans have doubled levels of reactive nitrogen in circulation, largely as a result of fertilizer application and fossil fuel burning. This massive alteration of the nitrogen cycle affects climate, food security, energy security, human health and ecosystem services. Our estimates show that nitrogen currently leads to a net-cooling effect on climate with very high uncertainty. The many complex warming and cooling interactions between nitrogen and climate need to be better assessed, taking also into account the other effects of nitrogen on human health, environment and ecosystem services. Through improved nitrogen management substantial reductions in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations could be generated, also allowing for other co-benefits, including improving human health and improved provision of ecosystem services, for example clean air and water, and biodiversity. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Climate change and health in cities: Impacts of heat and air pollution and potential co-benefits from mitigation and adaptationSharon L. Harlan | Darren M. Ruddell
Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 126-134
Excess morbidity and mortality related to extremely hot weather and poor air quality are found in cities worldwide. This is a major public health concern for cities now and looking toward the future because the interactions of global climate change, urban heat islands, and air pollution are predicted to place increasing health burdens on cities. The proposed mitigation and adaptation strategies in cities' climate risk management plans may produce health co-benefits by reducing emissions and cooling temperatures through changes in the built environment. There are challenges, however, to implementing the plans and the most widely documented beneficial policy to date is the adoption of heat warning and air quality alert systems to trigger emergency responses. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Benefits versus risks of growing biofuel crops: The case of MiscanthusUffe Jørgensen
Volume 3, Issues 1-2, March 2011, Pages 24-30
The giant C4 grasses of the genus Miscanthus holds promise as candidates for the optimal bioenergy crop in the temperate zone with their high yield, cold tolerance, low environmental impact, resistance to pests and diseases, ease of harvesting and handling, and non-invasiveness. The latter is, however, only the case for the triploid and sterile species M.×giganteus, while great caution should be taken with the production of the seed-setting species of the genus. M. sinensis has already spread into nature from ornamental use in several parts of the world, where it is considered a serious invader. Other risks to consider are fire in the mature crop, the spread of pests and diseases and increased water use. These years, the first commercial large scale crop production results are coming through and will show if the promises are to be fulfilled and the risks can be handled. However, breeding, further development of the production chain, and stewardship programmes to avoid potential risks are still needed if Miscanthus is to compete with fossil fuel use and be widely produced. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Water security for a planet under pressure: Interconnected challenges of a changing world call for sustainable solutionsJanos J. Bogardi | David Dudgeon | Richard Lawford | Eva Flinkerbusch | Andrea Meyn | Claudia Pahl-Wostl | Konrad Vielhauer | Charles Vörösmarty
Volume 4, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 35-43
Sustainability, equitable allocation and protection of water resources must occur within the framework of integrated management and water governance, but its implementation is problematic. Ongoing global climate change, increasing population, urbanization, and aspirations for better living standards present a challenge to the planetary sustainability. While water use at global scale currently seems to be within its planetary boundary, shortages prevail in several water-scarce and overpopulated regions, and are projected to increase. Furthermore large-scale impoverishment of aquatic biodiversity, ecosystem degradation and reductions in water quality are unaddressed 'side effects' in areas where water can be secured for human and economic uses. As the world prepares for Rio+20, challenges to the sustainability of global water security should be scrutinized. Of particular concern is the likelihood that the water-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) targets may not be achievable due to lack of funding commitments, and a failure of delivery mechanisms including water governance. Constraints on water availability and reductions in water quality jeopardize secure access to this resource for all legitimate stakeholders, including aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Water connects several socio-ecological, economic and geophysical systems at multiple scales and hence constitutes a 'global water system'. This should be considered both in technical interventions and in governance frameworks. Humans have been changing the global water system in globally significant ways since the industrial revolution, yet without adequate knowledge of the system and its response to change; and without sufficient understanding of how to govern the system at local and global scales. Water security in the 21st century will require better linkage of science and policy, as well as innovative and cross-sectoral initiatives, adaptive management and polycentric governance models that involve all stakeholders. Consensus solutions will need to be achieved by evidence-based mediation, rather than following untested 'panaceas', so as to ensure equitable and sustainable global water use. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Trade-offs, co-benefits and safeguards: Current debates on the breadth of REDD+Ingrid J. Visseren-Hamakers | Constance McDermott | Marjanneke J. Vijge | Benjamin Cashore
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 646-653
Fundamental trade-offs exist between different land uses for carbon, livelihoods, economic development, biodiversity, agriculture and energy (especially biofuels). This article analyses the scientific debates on REDD+ trade-offs, co-benefits and safeguards, and shows how the development and expanded scope of REDD+ mechanisms have shaped these debates over time. We find substantial evidence that the non-carbon values of biodiversity conservation, equity and sustainable livelihoods are critical to both the legitimacy and effectiveness of REDD+, and argue that they therefore are better viewed as prerequisites than as values to be safeguarded. Scientists can contribute to the development of a more integrative REDD+ through interdisciplinary research and through a 'learning architecture' that supports the REDD+ policy development process with research dedicated to finding durable solutions. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
From RED to REDD+: The evolution of a forest-based mitigation approach for developing countriesTill Pistorius
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 638-645
The REDDplus mechanism currently negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has developed rapidly but not as expected. Treating deforestation as a climate mitigation issue, the negotiations have raised high expectations and triggered remarkable developments in the global forest sector and activities on all policy levels, based on the wide consensus among private and public actors that deforestation and climate change constitute urgent environmental problems that must be addressed simultaneously. Despite the stalemate of the UNFCCC process, the implementation of readiness and pilot activities began, and with it, the notion of the REDDplus debate changed. Concerns arose regarding the effectiveness and the integrity of REDDplus, in particular owing to the absence of clear modalities and funding. Such developments and the erratic course of the negotiations have revealed the shortcomings of the presumably simple approach. As the debate matured it recently shifted its focus to the complex reality of forest governance in developing countries. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Carbon emissions and the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in the tropicsR. A. Houghton
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 597-603
The net emissions of carbon from deforestation and degradation in the tropics, including the draining and burning of peat swamps in SE Asia, averaged ∼1.4 (±0.5)PgCyr-1 over the period 1990-2010. Most (60-90%) of the emissions were from deforestation; degradation (or reductions of biomass density within forests) is more difficult to document but results from harvest of wood and the re-clearing of fallow forests within the shifting cultivation cycle. The main driver of deforestation is agriculture, whether permanent or shifting, and whether for food crops or pasture. The relative contribution of deforestation and degradation to anthropogenic carbon emissions has been declining, but reducing emissions from land, along with reduced emissions from fossil fuels, could help stabilize the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere.Received: 25-4-2012; Accepted: 8-6-2012. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Social safeguards and co-benefits in REDD+: A review of the adjacent possibleAshwini Chhatre | Shikha Lakhanpal | Anne M. Larson | Fred Nelson | Hemant Ojha | Jagdeesh Rao
Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2012, Pages 654-660
We provide a synthesis of recent scholarship on social safeguards and co-benefits in REDD+ with a focus on debates on: first, tenure security, and second, effective participation of local communities. Scholars have explored both proximate and long-term co-benefits of REDD+ interventions, with an emerging trend that links safeguards to improved social co-benefits. Proximate co-benefits include improved rural livelihoods and lower costs of implementation. Long-term co-benefits include greater adaptive capacity of local communities and increasing transparency and accountability in forest governance. Our review suggests that greater tenure security and effective participation of local communities in management will not only prevent adverse social outcomes, but will also enable better forest outcomes and improved capacity for forest governance. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
Climate change adaptation in European citiesJeremy G. Carter
Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2011, Pages 193-198
European cities face a range of challenges over the coming decades that will influence the nature of urban growth and development across the continent. Climate change is central amongst these, and will have direct implications for urban processes through changes to temperature and precipitation patterns. As European cities contribute to and are supported by tightly coupled global networks of socio-economic and biophysical goods and services, many of which are influenced by weather and climate, a changing climate will present complex and uncertain indirect impacts for cities to contend with. Climate change adaptation relates to responding to the risks and potential opportunities associated with changing climates. Although adaptation appears at present to be a relatively low priority issue for city planners and governors in Europe, there are examples from policy and practice that demonstrate positive activity in this field. Although these initiatives do not always have adaptation as their primary focus, they do highlight progress in this arena and offer transferable lessons to other cities aiming to address the impacts of a changing climate. However, there remain a series of barriers to progress that relate to issues such as policy and governance frameworks, and more nebulous issues including complexity and uncertainty in climate science and institutional structures. These barriers must be acknowledged and addressed as a part of an approach that responds holistically to the adaptation challenge that faces European cities in the coming decades. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
A conceptual framework for analysing and measuring land-use intensityKarl Heinz Erb | Helmut Haberl | Martin Rudbeck Jepsen | Tobias Kuemmerle | Marcus Lindner | Daniel Müller | Peter H. Verburg | Anette Reenberg
Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2013, Pages 464-470
Large knowledge gaps currently exist that limit our ability to understand and characterise dynamics and patterns of land-use intensity: in particular, a comprehensive conceptual framework and a system of measurement are lacking. This situation hampers the development of a sound understanding of the mechanisms, determinants, and constraints underlying changes in land-use intensity. On the basis of a review of approaches for studying land-use intensity, we propose a conceptual framework to quantify and analyse land-use intensity. This framework integrates three dimensions: (a) input intensity, (b) output intensity, and (c) the associated system-level impacts of land-based production (e.g. changes in carbon storage or biodiversity). The systematic development of indicators across these dimensions would provide opportunities for the systematic analyses of the trade-offs, synergies and opportunity costs of land-use intensification strategies. © 2013 The Authors.
The three perspectives on energy security: Intellectual history, disciplinary roots and the potential for integrationAleh Cherp | Jessica Jewell
Volume 3, Issue 4, September 2011, Pages 202-212
Scholarly discourses on energy security have developed in response to initially separate policy agendas such as supply of fuels for armies and transportation, uninterrupted provision of electricity, and ensuring market and investment effectiveness. As a result three distinct perspectives on energy security have emerged: the 'sovereignty' perspective with its roots in political science; the 'robustness' perspective with its roots in natural science and engineering; and the 'resilience' perspective with its roots in economics and complex systems analysis. At present, the energy security challenges are increasingly entangled so that they cannot be analyzed within the boundaries of any single perspective. To respond to these challenges, the energy security studies should not only achieve mastery of the disciplinary knowledge underlying all three perspectives but also weave the theories, methods and knowledge from these different mindsets together in a unified interdisciplinary effort. The key challenges for interdisciplinary energy security studies are drawing the credible boundaries of the field, formulating credible research questions and developing a methodological toolkit acceptable for all three perspectives. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

This web seminar took place on April 29, 2015 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The presenters were Mary Albert, Alden Adolph, and Linda Morris from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College.
Dr. Albert shared findings about her team's expedition to Greenland. In July 2012, the world witnessed a shocking event when widespread melting occurred over the surface of 97% of the Greenland Ice Sheet. According to ice core records, the last time such widespread melting occurred was in 1889. What caused such widespread melt? Was it just the warm temperatures, or was it a more complicated situation? Educators shared their ideas and the data collected from the study was explained. Alden Adolph related the findings of her albedo studies in New Hampshire. Her research quantified albedo and its dependence on impurities and grain size. To conclude the program, Linda Morris shared information about educational resources that teachers can use to help students understand the relationship between albedo and world-wide climate.

...Signed, sealed, delivered. Leigh Prather / Shutterstock.com
Google today announced it was throwing a brand new chunk of change into a data security venture about as old as data itself: the signature.
"Many people are starting to realize that a secure electronic signature is far easier and safer than the old pen and paper 'wet ink' signature," said Tom Gonser, founder and chief strategy officer, at DocuSign, which raised the funds. In a statement provided to Upstart Business Journals he said, "Electronic signatures are more secure because properly encrypted electronic documents cannot be tampered with, and the signer can be verified several different ways."
Last month, DocuSign announced a $47.5 million series D fundraising round led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byer for research and development, and expanding into other industries, and international markets, according to a report by TechCrunch. But it turns out the nine-year-old San Francisco-based company may have jumped the gun in making the announcement, with today's follow-up announcement that Google Ventures wanted in for another $10 million.
"The investment by Google Ventures highlights DocuSign's value as a tech disruptor across the Web and mobile platforms, from consumers to global enterprises," said Keith Krach, DocuSign chairman and chief executive.
The DocuSign technology is available across all platforms and simply enough requests the signer acknowledge the below statement:
By clicking Adopt, I agree that the signature and initials will be the electronic representation of my signature and initials for all purposes when I (or my agent) use them on documents, including legally binding contracts—just the same as a pen-and-paper signature or initial.

Berry St / Metropolitan Ave median real estate price is $760,970, which is more expensive than 92.6% of the neighborhoods in New York and 95.8% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Berry St / Metropolitan Ave is currently $2,866, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 97.7% of the neighborhoods in New York.
Berry St / Metropolitan Ave is a densely urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Brooklyn, New York. This is a coastal neighborhood (i.e., is on the ocean, a bay, or inlet).
Berry St / Metropolitan Ave real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) apartment complexes/high-rise apartments and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is renter occupied. Many of the residences in the Berry St / Metropolitan Ave neighborhood are newer, built in 2000 or more recently. A number of residences were also built before 1940.
Berry St / Metropolitan Ave has a 15.6% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 75.9% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round. This could either signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood or that large amount of new housing has been built and not yet occupied. Either way, if you live here, you may find many of the homes or apartments are empty.

Kim Kardashian told Jay Leno she has learned from her disastrous marriage to Kris Humphries.
"I learned so many lessons about it, and it's changed who I am as a person, I think for the better. The things that I care about in life have completely changed because of this, so I really think everything happens for a reason."
Great! So what lessons did Kim learn?
"It was really hard to go through [the divorce], probably the toughest thing I ever had to go through, but I had my family there. We are exactly who we are whether the cameras are on or off, and that's why I love my family so much."
That's truly wonderful about her family. Now what did Kim learn?
"I've showed my life and the reality of my life, and it might not be pretty all the time, but it's who I am. And I've learned so much from it."
Okay… maybe I'm being too jaded here, but does this sound, um… genuine to you? Maybe Kim just couldn't articulate what she learned.

HEY, PSU FANS, stop complaining about the sanctions. Alabama was on sanctions and they came back and won two national championships and USC was on sanctions and they were ranked No. 1 at the start of the season. So stop complaining about the sanctions.
IN THE MY TWO CENTS column by Andrew Kehe, it is said, don't blame the losses on the NCAA sanctions. Seems to me that sanctions, including the many transfers, cost Penn State the game. Thank you, NCAA.
ANDREW KEHE'S ARTICLE is ludicrous, to totally discount the loss of Silas Redd, Justin Brown and Anthony Fera, among others that would have provided depth is idiotic.
I'M NOT ON THE Pitt or PSU bandwagons, but I would like to give credit to both Ohio University and Youngstown State. There are more quality high school football players coming out and Ohio and Youngstown State get their share of them. Congrats to both Ohio U and Youngstown State.
JUST LIKE TO TAKE a moment to acknowledge and congraduate Adrian Robinson Jr., Susquehanna Twp. and Harrisburg grad on making it to the NFL. The new No. 57 of the Pittsburgh Steelers. A story on Robinson is coming Friday.
I WOULD LIKE TO congratuate Jimmy Rollins on his 2000th hit, and if he stays healthy he'll be the Phillies all-time leader in hits.
I WANT TO BE the first one to congratuate the first-place Baltimore Orioles.
IF YOU WOULD HAVE called the Fan Line a year ago and said that Joe Paterno would no longer be the coach at Penn State, LeBron James would have won a championship, the Orioles and Nationals would be leading their respective divisions in September, and the New York Giants would have won the Super Bowl, this past year has been amazing.
SO FAR NOT ONE negative comment on the Fan Line on Notre Dame, and I wonder why? I guess the PSU fans are preoccupied worrying about all the problems they have and have no reason to wrongly criticize Notre Dame as they have done in the past.

PAUL CORNELL will be signing WHO KILLED SHERLOCK HOLMES and THIS DAMNED BAND (TP) at the Forbidden Planet London Megastore on Thursday 19th May from 6:00 – 7:00 PM.
Who Killed Sherlock Holmes? is a great genre crossover injecting life into the crime procedural. Thrilling and gripping, and with a clever new twist on a much-loved character, this will appeal to a host of fans ranging from police procedurals to gothic, urban fantasy, to straight-up lovers of Sherlock and beyond. Quill and his team pursue a criminal genius, who lures them into a Sherlockian maze of too many clues and too much evidence, while also battling their own, and all too real, demons. It looks like the game is afoot…
And in This Damned Band, the biggest rock band in the world thought they were only pretending to worship Satan. As they record the documentary of what might be their final world tour, they discover the horrifying truth!
Paul Cornell has been Hugo-nominated for his work in TV, comics and prose, and is a BSFA award-winner for short fiction. He has also written some of Doctor Who's best-loved episodes for the BBC, and has more recently written for the Sherlock-inspired TV show Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu.

Baltimore Comic Con Welcomes Back Conner, Cooke, Palmiotti & Tieri in 2015
March 16, 2015 by Colin Solan
Filed under Animation, Comic Books, Convention News, Maryland, Movies, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Television
Press Release:
Come to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for the 16th annual Baltimore Comic-Con on September 25-27, 2015 at the Baltimore Convention Center! We are excited to welcome to our show returning guests Amanda Conner, Darwyn Cooke, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Frank Tieri.
Working in the comics industry since the late 1980s, Amanda Conner got her start working for major publishers like Marvel Comics on Solo Avengers and Excalibur, and Archie Comics on Archie and The Adventures of Bayou Billy. As her career progressed, she worked for a number of noteworthy titles at smaller comics companies, including Soulsearchers and Company for Claypool and Vengeance of Vampirella at Harris. She has since had an extensive illustration career, both in and out of comics, and her latest industry work can be seen on DC Comics' Convergence and Convergence: Action Comics covers, and on Harley Quinn, where she is providing both art and writing (with her husband, Jimmy Palmiotti).
Last with us in 2008, Darwyn Cooke made his mark in the comics industry after working in animation such notable series as Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond. His initial success at DC Comics on the graphic novel Batman: Ego parlayed into further work on Marvel's X-Force, Wolverine/Doop, and Spider-Man's Tangled Web. He later went on to work on such noteworthy titles as DC's Just Imagine…, Detective Comics, DC: The New Frontier, and Solo. More recently, Cooke has been the cartoonist behind IDW's Richard Stark's Parker series of graphic novels as well as work on a number of DC's Before Watchmen series and variant covers for Action Comics, Convergence, and Harley Quinn.
Jimmy Palmiotti is renowned in the comics industry as a writer, artist, and editor. Originally working as an inker, he has since gone on to contribute to major titles and runs at comic companies large and small. He co-founded Event Comics in the mid-1990s, where he worked on titles such as Ash and Painkiller Jane. He later moved to Marvel Comics, working on the launch of their Marvel Knights line with the "Guardian Devil" storyline in Daredevil. In addition to co-writing DC Comics' Harley Quinn with his wife, Amanda Conner, he also writes their Batwing: Future's End and Star Spangled War Stories featuring G.I. Zombie (both with writing partner Justin Gray), and BOOM! Studios' Palmiotti & Brady's The Big Con Job.
Writer Frank Tieri has established a strong voice in the comics industry, working for many publishers and injecting his unique style along with amusing references to popular culture . He has contributed to a broad range of titles across many publishers, including Marvel's Iron Man, Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man, and Punisher: Noir, DC's Batman, Detective Comics, Hawkman, and Grifter, Dynamite Entertainment's Red Sonja: The Black Tower, and Top Cow's The Darkness. His latest work can be found in DC Comics' Convergence: Suicide Squad, Convergence: Justice League, and Arkham Manor: Endgame, and Marvel's AXIS: Revolutions.
"It's been too long since we've seen Darwyn, and we missed Amanda and Jimmy last year," said Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "Along with Frank, this is another fantastic group of talented creators that our fans clamor for, and we're so pleased they're returning! "
This year's confirmed guests for the show include: Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl); Christy Blanch (The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood); Mark Buckingham (Fables); Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman); Frank Cho (Jungle Girl); Steve Conley (Bloop); Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn); Katie Cook (Gronk); Darwyn Cooke (Richard Stark's Parker); John Gallagher (Buzzboy); Cully Hamner (Convergence: The Question); Dean Haspiel (The Fox); Jaime Hernandez (Love and Rockets); Klaus Janson (Superman); Dave Johnson (Inhumans: Attilan Rising); JG Jones (Strange Fruit); Denis Kitchen (The Best of Comix Book: When Marvel Went Underground); Barry Kitson (Empire: Uprising); Seth Kushner (Schmuck); Mark Mariano (The Other Side of Hugless Hill); Ron Marz (Convergence: Batman and Robin); Terry Moore (Rachel Rising); Tom Palmer (The Avengers); Jimmy Palmiotti (The Con Job); David Peterson (Mouse Guard); Ron Randall (Convergence: Catwoman); Budd Root (Cavewoman); Don Rosa (Donald Duck); Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo); Matteo Scalera (Black Science); Bart Sears (Bloodshot); Louise Simonson (Convergence: Superman – The Man of Steel); Walter Simonson (Convergence: Superman – The Man of Steel); Andy Smith (Earth 2); Charles Soule (Uncanny Inhumans); Ben Templesmith (Gotham by Midnight); Frank Tieri (Suicide Squad); John Totleben (Swamp Thing); Rick Veitch (Saga of the Swamp Thing); Mark Waid (Daredevil); and Thom Zahler (My Little Pony: Friends Forever).

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - Geno Auriemma has been peppered with questions.
At 35-0, is this Connecticut team his best yet, or was it the 1995 unbeaten NCAA champs? How does this edition compare to Tennessee's 39-0 squad in 1998?
"Everybody wants to be remembered as something," the coach said Wednesday. "We just want to go out and win games."
UConn has dominated the competition throughout the season, beating opponents by an average of 37 points. The starting squad boasts five All-Americans, including Naismith Player of the Year Sue Bird.
Auriemma balks at calling it the best team ever, but will compare it to his other squads.
"This team is balanced as physically as any team we've ever had," Auriemma said. "Our guard play is as good as its ever been, but for me to tell you Sue and (Diana Taurasi) are a better backcourt than Nykesha Sales and Rita Williams, that's pretty tough. Those two guys are WNBA All-Stars. This team is really, really good for this season, for what it has to do, for what it wants to prove."
The Huskies will try to prove their next point on Saturday against Penn State in the Mideast Regional in Milwaukee. The vastly improved Lady Lions (23-11) are led by Kelly Mazzante, the nation's leading scorer. The sophomore is averaging 25.2 points a game and has been a key factor in Penn State's turnaround since its 9-7 start.
UConn has its own sophomore sensation in Taurasi, a long-range specialist with a deft passing touch.
"There are so many thing that you would wish you can do against them and so we have a wish list this week that we are going to work on," Penn State coach Rene Portland said.
She said some of the keys are to outwork UConn in the post and slow down the Huskies' running game.
The Huskies' inside trio of Asjha Jones, Swin Cash and Tamika Williams have made short work of most teams' post games. They combine for an average of 44 points and 22 rebounds.
"You almost feel like you're wasting your time watching film because they get out by 20 and the other team is just trying to go two at a time to cut down a 20-point lead and it's in the first half," Portland said.
