Solar Variability of Possible Relevance for Planetary Climates

Space Science Reviews, 2006
The global variability of the Sun of relevance for planetary climates has been directly measured for the past few decades. For longer stretches of time models are required. Semi-empirical models can now accurately reproduce the measured records of solar total and spectral irradiance, as well as of the magnetic flux.

6. Planetary climate and habitability

2021
‘Planetary climate and habitability’ studies planetary climate, particularly the way an atmosphere affects temperature and a planet's habitability. The entire temperature profile, from the planet's centre to the tenuous outer reaches of its atmosphere (if it has one), is of importance.

Climate change, the Anthropocene and planetary boundaries

Qatar University Life Science Symposium 2016: Biodiversity, Sustainability and Climate Change, with Perspectives from Qatar, 2016
Climate change is often called humanity's biggest challenge of the 21st century, especially following on from the ambitious targets of the Paris climate summit. But climate change is a part of something bigger – the advent of the Anthropocene, the proposed new epoch in Earth history.

Planetary Alignments, Solar Activity and Climatic Change [PDF]

Nature, 1973
Historical data suggest a relation between the changing level of solar activity and climatic change on Earth. Since there is also evidence that the solar cycle of activity is influenced by the alignments of the planets, through tidal interactions with the Sun, it seems that climatic change might be predicted by studying these alignments.

governing climate change and the planetary environment

2013
These concerns were given a global political platform in 1972 when the UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm. It was attended by representatives of 113 governments, and debates centred on the apparently conflicting priorities of economic development and the protection of the environment (Haas 2002: 79).

Planetary Health in the Age of Climate Change

2019
This chapter details physicist James Lovelock's lifelong work on the Gaia hypothesis. Gaia postulated that the Earth was a single living entity whose health was threatened by human-induced changes in atmospheric composition and planetary biodiversity. Arguing that humans had overstepped their ecological niche, Lovelock developed a planetary medicine by

Planetary Periodicities and Terrestrial Climate Stress

1984
Extraterrestrial climatic stress is applied to the planet Earth by four deterministic processes: 1. Planetary orbital motions, dominated by Jupiter and Saturn, that transmit momentum by gravitational torques, causing changes in velocity and spin rate to successive planets and to the Sun itself.

Introduction: The Diversity of Planetary Climates

2013
This book examines the fundamental physical processes that control planetary climates, from convection and radiation to escape of atmospheres, evaporation, condensation, atmospheric chemistry, and the dynamics of rotating fluids. It looks at the climates of the planets in order of distance from the Sun, starting with Venus and ending with planets ...
