Abstract This article is a review of the science goals and activities initiated within framework P ollution its I mpacts on S outh A merican C ryosphere ( PISAC ) initiative. Air pollution associated with biomass burning urban emissions affects extensive areas South America. We focus black carbon BC aerosol impacts air quality, water availability, climate, an emphasis Andean cryosphere. one key short‐lived climate pollutants that topic growing interest for near‐term mitigation these issues....
In theory, building resilience is touted as one way to deal with climate change impacts; however, in practice, there a need examine how contexts influence the capacity of resilience. A participatory process was carried out through workshops regions affected by drought Chile 2014. The aim explore theory can be better applied and articulated into practice vis-á-vis approaches that enrich research incorporation co-produced. results show are more differences responses type actor than between...
<title>Abstract</title> Meta-governance literature has sought to move towards more integrated governance approaches that overcome the current fragmentation of policies and initiatives, while recognizing need adjust these models characteristics each specific territory. For this effort be effective, however, it must recognize new heterogeneous ‘territories’ climate change its normative socio-political implications. In light this, we propose a novel approach based on systemic perspective, which...
Scholars have focused on understanding the motivations behind urban authorities' efforts to respond climate change, yet determinants of institutional response capacity are less well known, particularly in Latin America. This paper develops a framework understand political–economic through an examination change governance Mexico City and Santiago, Chile. We ask whether being frontrunner (Mexico City) is indicator greater capacity. Although has slightly higher levels than both faced with...
Current debate on the implementation of resilience in addressing climatic impacts calls for more pragmatic means reducing losses. In this study we aimed to generate context-specific knowledge about factors drought, with expectation that bringing forth experiential how were addressed past would shed light what constitutes key practitioners working urban contexts. The was carried three largest cities Chile: Santiago, Concepción, and Valdivia. analytical framework consists regional...
Societal Impact Statement Humans are dependent upon plants for oxygen, food, textiles, and medicines. Climate change deforestation represent serious threats to our planet, causing significant disruptions ability access utilize these plant resources; this makes a botanically literate workforce science careers more important than ever. Unfortunately, the current state of botanical career opportunities training programs in United States remains unclear. This study focuses on employment trends...
Societal Impact Statement Botanical careers are more important than ever, given that environmental challenges such as climate change and deforestation threaten plants daily because contribute to solutions these problems. Plants act our sources of food, medicine, textiles, oxygen, which means finding ways mitigate is crucial. Despite this, little known about what career opportunities exist for botanists outside academia how well training graduate students careers. This study centers on the...
Multiple studies have evaluated the impact of simulation teaching methods in preparing novice nurses for patient care. Various ability to teach caring especially a simulated environment. The use demonstrated an increased level confidence, job satisfaction, and retention but only one characteristic caring, empathy, was elicited with questionable authenticity due possible desire by students achieve grade or meet objectives. meta-synthesis identified need study as it relates patient’s...
Abstract This paper illustrates a methodology to measure the impact of resilience-building actions on increased resilience people and natural systems face climate change, developed field-tested around Race Resilience Campaign. Despite increasing acknowledgment need for robust methodologies indicators monitor evaluate efforts across adaptation planning implementation, provide credibility, accountability transparency such actions, there is still lack sufficiently standardized agreed upon...
Ensuring that botany and plant sciences are being included in undergraduate life science curricula is necessary for developing a future global sustainability workforce. To gain baseline understanding, we surveyed educators the U.S. about current botanical education. We further evaluated these data to determine connections frameworks of awareness disparity (PAD), framework detailing inability notice or appreciate plants one's own environment, Vision Change, an educational preparing biology...
Energy and water have faced important levels of conflicts in the last 20–25 years Chile. However, way that they been politically addressed decade differs. These differences emerge from how these fields historically configurated, impacting on policy problems options framed. Using thematic analysis 93 interviews documentary analysis, this article analyzes by contrasting two participatory processes which nourish formulation energy policies Chile 2014–2015. It seeks to understand factors may...
En las últimas décadas, se han observado importantes cambios en torno a la relación entre ciencia y sociedad. Se ha transitado de un paradigma basado que está transformando sociedad otro abre posibilidad transforme ciencia. El aporte esfera científica, al igual el brindado por cada uno los actores sociales, es fundamental para apoyar toma decisiones política pública. Así lo demostrado Panel Intergubernamental Expertos sobre Cambio Climático (IPCC), jugado rol clave acciones comunidad...
