Geophysics and nutritional science: toward a novel, unified paradigm

Geophysics and nutritional science: toward a novel, unified paradigm.

This article discusses a few basic geophysical processes, which collectively indicate that several nutritionally adverse elements of current Western diets also yield environmentally harmful food consumption patterns. We address oceanic dead zones, which are at the confluence of oceanography, aquatic chemistry, and agronomy and which are a clear environmental problem, and agriculture's effects o...

Science for Global Sustainability: Toward a New Paradigm

This paper provides a context for the Dahlem Workshop on “Earth System Analysis for Sustainability.” The authors begin by characterizing the contemporary epoch of Earth history in which humanity has emerged as a major—and uniquely self-reflexive—geological force. They turn next to the extraordinary revolution in our understanding of the Earth system that is now underway, pointing out how it has...

Toward a New Paradigm

This paper provides a context for the Dahlem Workshop on “Earth Systems Science and Sustainability.” We begin by characterizing the contemporary epoch of Earth history in which humanity has emerged as a major — and uniquely self-reflexive — geological force. We turn next to the extraordinary revolution in our understanding of the Earth system that is now underway, pointing out how it has built ...
