Global Climate Action, originally known as Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action (NAZCA), is a web portal launched in 2014 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). [1] The purpose of the website is to provide information about climate action around the globe.
The moment tensor solution is displayed graphically using a so-called beachball diagram. The pattern of energy radiated during an earthquake with a single direction of motion on a single fault plane may be modelled as a double couple, which is described mathematically as a special case of a second order tensor (similar to those for stress and strain) known as the moment tensor.
Some maps released by the USGS are shown with peak ground acceleration with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years, measured in Metre per second squared.For parts of the US, the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project in 2008 resulted in seismic hazard maps showing peak acceleration (as a percentage of gravity) with a 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years.
The Baribis Fault (Indonesian: Sesar Baribis) is a geological feature located in the northern part of Java. [1] This fault, estimated to be 100 kilometers (62 miles) long, stretches from Purwakarta to Lebak Regency [2] and is a threat to the Jakarta metropolitan area because the fault is partially located within the metropolitan area itself.
A global catastrophic risk or a doomsday scenario is a hypothetical event that could damage human well-being on a global scale, [2] even endangering or destroying modern civilization. [3] An event that could cause human extinction or permanently and drastically curtail humanity's existence or potential is known as an " existential risk ".
The greenhouse effect on Earth is defined as: "The infrared radiative effect of all infrared absorbing constituents in the atmosphere.Greenhouse gases (GHGs), clouds, and some aerosols absorb terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and elsewhere in the atmosphere."
The Flores back-arc thrust fault is a major system of west–east trending thrust faults that extend eastwards from west of Lombok just south of where Sunda Shelf ends at Bali Sea, towards the islands of Sumbawa, Flores, and Alor, with a total length of at least 800 km., [1] entering the Weber Basin and Aru Basin adjacent Sahul Shelf of the Australian plate.
The SESAR 3 JU is co-funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme and industry as follows: • Horizon Europe - EUR 600 million • Eurocontrol – up to EUR 500 million (in-kind and financial contributions) • Industry - EUR 500 million minimum (in-kind and financial contributions) In addition, the Digital European Sky programme will benefit from ...
