Why Evapotranspiration is the process of?
Transpiration is 'tree sweat', so trees giving off water from their leaves in the form of gas. Evaporation is water changing into gas and rising into the atmosphere from bodies of water, e.g. a lake. Therefore, evapotranspiration is the total mass of water given off by both trees and rivers etc. in the form of gas.
Who is Daniel dahm?
Dr. Daniel Dahm is an ecologist, geographer, activist, born 1969 in Cologne, Germany. His areas of expertise are transdisciplinary macroscopic perspectives on complex systems as i.a. culture, geopolitics, ecology and economy, combining anthropology, humanities and natural sciences. Main topics are biological and cultural diversity research; interactions between anthroposphere and biosphere, resource management; ecological -economical interdependency and strategies. Daniel Dahm joined the still young international sustainability scene in the early 1990s. As a transdisciplinary scientist, Daniel Dahm acquired a reputation for being authentic and consistent in his work as scientist, consultant, lobbyist and campaigner. Within his work he combines intellectual rigor and reliability with visionary creativity and economic foresight. Daniel Dahm earned his doctorate with a dissertation on sustainable lifestyles and ecological economics. He has led research in civil society development, sustainable consumption and numerous other disciplines relating to sustainability. As researcher and consultant he worked for ministries, research bodies, and UN-instituitions. Apart from extensive lectures and NGO-activities and foundings, he served as a fellow at the Natural History Museum, London, in the fields of his specialisation, sustainability, spirituality and diversity of life. His international reputation and acclaim are largely based on a work that followed in the footsteps of the 1955 Russell-Einstein Manifesto – the Potsdam Denkschrift 2005 ‘We have to learn to think in a new way’. Apart from this his range of publications reaches from theory of science over economic and civil society development, ecological approaches, philosophy up to city development and pharmceutical industry implementation strategies. His core aims and scope of application are strategic planning and acting within dynamic processes in order to develop and implement sustainability strategies for organisations, regions, enterprises and projects. The certainty, that it is the power of every individual which is changing our world, is one of his driving forces.
What other sciences are involved with earth science?
Earth Science, also known as 'Geoscience' is a term that all encompasses the science related to the planet Earth. Within Earth Science there are four major disciplines; Geography - The study of the Earth and its features, inhabitants and related phenomena. Geology - The study of the solid matter that constitutes the Earth Geophysics - This is the study of the Earth using quantitative physical methods, such as seismic, electromagnetic and radioactivity using maths, physics and computer science as tools Geodesy - This is a branch of Earth Sciences that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Within all these four major disciplines of Earth Science the use of the major classic science fields; Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Chronology and Mathematics, are all used to understand the individual areas or spheres within the Earth system. These broad areas or spheres of the Earth system are the; Hydrosphere - Describes the collective mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of the planet Biosphere - This relates to the part of the Earth, including air, water, land and surface rocks in which life occurs and biotic processes alter and transform Lithosphere - This describes the outermost carapace or shell of a rocky planet (in this instance the Earth). On Earth this included the crust and uppermost mantle. Atmosphere - This relates to the layer of gasses that surround the Earth, retained by the force Gravity. This thin layer of gasses protects life on Earth by absorbing ultra violet rays from the sun and helps to regulate the day and night temperatures on the Earth's surface by trapping heat *However there are other models of the Earth that include other additional spheres such as the; Pedosphere, Geosphere, Anthroposphere, Cryosphere and Noosphere.
