Discover the world's scientific knowledge

we need to build a global ethics.

Although we understand the environmental ethic of the United States or even of the world it does not mean we can stop pollution from killing humans or even an ecosystem. Knowing the environmental ethic of the United States will probably allow us to help stop pollution for two main reasons. First, Humans normally take actions based on what they believe, or intend...but most importantly, knowing other ethical stances have helped change other phenomenon for the better.

I too work on the ethics of climate change. Please send me your e-mail, so that I can send you flyers about relevant books. My e-mail is attfieldr@cardiff.ac.uk . I will attach a flyer for my textbook on environmental ethics. Best wishes, Robin Attfield

In which american newspaper I can publish my study:Sundial of the Big Apple City?

Many newspapers in NY just ignore my proposed note.

Doctors demonstrating because of environmental actions are receiving harsh responses as per a report published in BMJ today. What are your views about this issue? Is it ethical? Is it professional? What are the right opinions in this area?

CLIMATE , ETHICS, HISTORY and ARTS : Possible parallels between historical genocides and future climate/environmental genocides

For an "eye opening" educational project, I am looking for scientific articles , but also references from poetry, choreographies, paintings, etc..on this parallel.

Thanks for your contributions, and , if enough are collected, the summary would be posted here.

I am conducting a research on climate change and I seek to understand the basic principles behind the changing climate under the natural environment.

Dear Colleagues,

My name is Sylvia Lima and I am conducting a survey as part of my Ph.D. research in evaluation of climate change adaptation success in coastal areas of developing countries with Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (VUW).

The research has been approved by the Human Ethics Committee of the University (approval #0000027792) and you can find more information below.

This survey is anonymous and will take you about 15 minutes to complete. Your answers will remain completely anonymous and unidentifiable.

Your support will be much appreciated. Please feel free to share the link to the survey with colleagues that might be interested in collaborating with this research.

Thank you.

Sylvia Lima

INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS

You are invited to take part in this survey. Please read this information before deciding whether or not to take part. If you decide to participate, thank you. If you decide not to participate, thank you for considering this request.

Who am I? My name is Sylvia Lima and I am a Doctoral student in Environmental Studies at Victoria University of Wellington. This research project is work towards my dissertation.

What is the aim of the project? This project seeks to understand success criteria and evaluation for climate change adaptation projects implemented in coastal zones of developing countries funded through multilateral organizations. This research has been approved by the Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee 0000027792.

How can you help? You have been invited to participate because of your experience and knowledge of climate change adaptation strategies in coastal zones. If you agree to take part you will complete a survey. The survey will ask you questions about your opinion and perception of climate change adaptation success and aspects of monitoring and evaluation of adaptation strategies. The survey will take you about 15 minutes to complete.

What will happen to the information you give? This research is anonymous. This means that nobody, including the researchers, will be aware of your identity. By answering it, you are giving consent for us to use your responses in this research. Your answers will remain completely anonymous and unidentifiable. Once you submit the survey, it will be impossible to retract your answer. Please do not include any personally identifiable information in your responses.

What will the project produce? The information from my research will be used in Ph.D. dissertation and academic publications and conferences.

If you have any questions or problems, who can you contact? If you have any questions, either now or in the future, please feel free to contact either me or my supervisors. If you have any concerns about the ethical conduct of the research, you may contact the Victoria University HEC Convenor. Please see all contacts below.

I have a downscaled precipitation data, which needs to be bias-corrected. For the process, I tried the non-linear correction technique, which does one station at a time.

So is there any guiding idea, code, manual, or reference, which is done by using the SVM principle to apply for large data and many stations at a time?

In addition, I am also seeking the application of machine learning with SVM in climate data dis-aggregation into fine temporal resolution such as an hourly basis.

Ethical climate is it something to come from the top down - or bottom up! Or a mix of both?
