In recent years, the log-ten approach to temporal scaling has been used as a scientific and educational scaffolding for a variety of cosmic and Earth system processes and events, such as in J.M. Mitchell's 1976 "An Overview of Climatic Variability and Its Causal Mechanisms," (Quaternary Research 6, 481-493) and the "temporal bands" presented in the 1986 Bretherton Report and follow-up "Earth System Science: A Closer View (1988, NASA). Other efforts, such as the NOAA Climate TimeLine Information Tool (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo/ctl) have begun to further flesh out the "powers of ten" framework, which allows time to be effectively collapsed in order to focus on particular aspects of the evolution and existence of the universe. We will present an overview of past efforts to capture the breadth of the universe using log-ten temporal scaling. In addition, particular "stories" from each time scale will be proposed: from the first seconds of the Big Bang (+10 10Yrs.) to the development of light, galaxies and solar systems and planet Earth (10 9Yrs.), from the tectonic processes, evolution of biologic life, and mass extinctions that have occurred at the scales of millions of years, to the orbital processes that serve as the primary trigger of Ice Ages over hundreds of thousands of years, then focusing on the emergence of Homo sapiens from Africa in the past 100,000 years, the development of agriculture and civilizations in the past 10,000 years or so during the Holocene, and then concentrating on shorter time-scales and the events and processes they span. Whether beginning at the beginning (The Big Bang) or beginning at the sub-annual scale in which our everyday lives are lived, the "powers of ten" provide a scientific framework that holds strong potential for communicating the history and nature of the universe. <br /><br />Storytelling Through the Temporal Bands: Collapsing Time With the Power of Ten.

What he disregards is that the fossil fuel industry is playing the rules of the game of capitalism: make money for the stockholders (including the executives who have stock), pay the executive team well to live as the 1% (aka the American Dream), and do whatever necessary to make more money (campaign contributions). Capitalism is structured for corporations to do this. To name ONE industry, fossil fuel industry, is insane. They are just playing the game, and playing it well. If you don't like the game, then change the RULES. Don't single out a single player.Lauren Olsonhttp://lolokramer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145511.post-27918975145739109602011-08-22T08:44:17.327-05:002011-08-22T08:44:17.327-05:00Does anyone think that the acceleration of melting...Does anyone think that the acceleration of melting could be connected to the HAARP Project in Gakona, Alaska?

If the winter temps are below -20F for 2 weeks it will kill most of the beetle larva. With the warmer winters they are thriving through the winter. In replanted forests, the trees are too close together so the beetles can jump from tree to tree very easily.<br /><br />One test area in central OR where the trees were replanted in 2-3M spacing with different species and at different planting seasons led to less beetle impact. The thinking is that the trees are farther apart and of different heights so the beetles have a harder time jumping from tree to tree.<br /><br />Rick Mck<br />Seattle WARick McKenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276040679409974326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145511.post-32149950580023782792010-06-08T14:45:33.190-05:002010-06-08T14:45:33.190-05:00Jay,
Thanks for the post. I am keenly interested ...Jay,<br /><br />Thanks for the post. I am keenly interested in the institutional arrangement of our goverments and policy structures- specifically related to how the "public good" is valued, upheld, and protected. Coming from a background in planning, this is not surprising. Unfortunately, what BP could do is also not surprising.<br /><br />What is crazy to me is that corporations really have very little accountability, and yet the almighty 'private sector' is worshipped so reverently by many. Yes, government has its problems, but at least its purpose is to carry out the public good - in a manner in which its citizens (through it's 'corporate' laws) dictate. If government is not living up to its end, it is likely because we have not gotten the rules right. But if a corporation overlooks the public for the profit of its share holders, it is simply doing its job (it's only job- other than to follow the law). <br /><br />We should be drawing down our oil consumption so these inncident simply cannot occur, but I digress. When was the last time an oil spill, or an economic depression, was caused by "excessive regulation"? Just as the housing bubble and credit crisis was caused, in large part, by ineffective institutions and regulation, so too is the gulf oil spill (and the Big Branch mine explosion before it).<br /><br />I certainly agree that undue and poorly structured regulation and stifle otherwise sound economic development, but what happened to the precausionary principle? What happened to planning?<br /><br />Josh CUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520747581220673416noreply@blogger.com
