    Description: Natural sites in urban spaces can have a key role in citizen well-being, providing fundamental ecosystem services to the population and assuring a multitude of benefits. Therefore, cities should guarantee a number of green areas and their conservation in time as an essential part of urban architecture. In this framework, cooperation between scientists, decision makers and citizens is critical to ensure the enhancement of green public spaces. Social and scientific communities are called to work in a tuned way to combine scientific knowledge and methods to local socio-economic contexts, driven by the values of geoethics. The Bullicante Lake case study, discussed in this work, represents an example of application of geoethical values, such as inclusiveness, sharing, sustainability and conservation of bio- and geodiversity. This urban lake in Rome appeared following illegal excavation works in 1992 and remained closed until 2016 favouring re-naturalization processes. Over time, this site was often threatened by pending actions for building. The aim of this study was to highlight how fruitful cooperation between science and citizens is able to transform a degraded urban area into a place of knowledge, recreation, enjoyment and eco-systemic preservation. Moreover, on the basis of this experience, the authors proposed a generalised approach/strategy to be developed and applied in other contexts. The active involvement of citizens and the cooperation among scientists, artists and institutions were able to redress opportunistic behaviours well by preventing site degradation and its improper use, favouring environmental safeguarding and making possible the site’s recognition as a natural monument. The results of these actions led to the improved quality of citizen life, showing an excellent example of virtuous cooperation between science and society.

    Description: QUESTO VOLUME RACCONTA UNA STORIA DI CAMBIAMENTI. Da un lato i cambiamenti del nostro pianeta, un ambiente vivo e in continua trasformazione; dall’altro, i cambiamenti nel modo di pensare, vedere e spiegare il mondo che, nell’arco di duemila anni, hanno guidato l’uomo nella comprensione dei meccanismi che regolano l’evoluzione della Terra. Il risultato di questo lungo percorso è la teoria della Tettonica delle Placche, una delle più importanti rivoluzioni scientifiche del XX secolo. La sua enunciazione ha coronato un’epoca d’oro per le Scienze della Terra. Accolta inizialmente con scetticismo, talvolta apertamente osteggiata, è stata accettata da un’intera generazione di scienziati che hanno fatto proprie le idee sulla deriva dei continenti, ponendo le basi per il cambiamento del modo di studiare e comprendere la dinamica della Terra: dalla visione di un pianeta statico, cristallizzato nelle sue forme, si è passati alla consapevolezza di vivere su un pianeta dinamico, continuamente rimodellato dalla tettonica globale. La teoria della Tettonica delle Placche è in grado, da sola, di spiegare fenomeni apparentemente inconciliabili: l’attività sismica, l’orogenesi, la disposizione dei vulcani, il magnetismo delle rocce, la formazione di strutture come le fosse oceaniche e gli archi vulcanici, la distribuzione e la forma dei continenti, il riaggiustamento isostatico postglaciale, la distribuzione geografica delle faune e flore fossili e la sorprendente struttura dei fondali oceanici. In questo volume percorriamo un lungo viaggio attraverso le intuizioni e le scoperte degli scienziati che, più di tutti, hanno contribuito alla formulazione della teoria della Tettonica delle Placche. I geografi del XVI secolo avevano notato, per primi, la somiglianza tra i margini dei continenti che si affacciano sull’Oceano Atlantico; nei secoli successivi sono state formulate molte ipotesi per spiegare queste caratteristiche della superficie e comprendere come siano correlate con la struttura interna della Terra, fino ad arrivare all’ipotesi sulla deriva dei continenti di Alfred Wegener. All’inizio del XX secolo erano già stati raccolti tutti gli elementi per una prima formalizzazione della teoria. Ma saranno la seconda guerra mondiale, prima, e la guerra fredda, dopo, a fornire l’opportunità per studiare in modo approfondito i fondali oceanici e per realizzare le prime reti sismiche globali. I nuovi dati raccolti forniranno le evidenze più schiaccianti a sostegno della Tettonica delle Placche. Con l’avvento del nuovo millennio, l’attenzione di molti scienziati si è rivolta allo studio dei pianeti extraterrestri in cerca dei segni di attività tettonica. Oggi sappiamo infatti che ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella comparsa della vita sulla Terra: l’individuazione di questi segni sarà centrale per la ricerca di mondi alieni che possano aver ospitato, o potranno ospitare, la vita.

    Description: Industrial demand response can play an important part in balancing the intermittent production from a growing share of renewable energies in electricity markets. This paper analyses the role of aggregators - intermediaries between participants and power markets - in facilitating industrial demand response. Based on the results from semi-structured interviews with German demand response aggregators, as well as a wider stakeholder online survey, we examine the role of aggregators in overcoming barriers to industrial demand response. We find that a central role for aggregators is to raise awareness for the potentials of demand response, as well as to support implementation by engaging key actors in industrial companies. Moreover, we develop a taxonomy that helps analyse how the different functional roles of aggregators create economic value. We find that there is considerable heterogeneity in the kind of services that aggregators offer, many of which do create significant economic value. However, some of the functional roles that aggregators currently fill may become obsolete once market barriers to demand response are reduced or knowledge on demand response becomes more diffused.

    Description: This book outlines the current development of geoethical thinking, proposing to the general public reflections and categories useful for understanding the ethical, cultural, and societal dimensions of anthropogenic global changes. Geoethics identifies and orients responsible behaviors and actions in the management of natural processes, redefining the human interaction with the Earth system based on a critical, scientifically grounded, and pragmatic approach. Solid scientific knowledge and a philosophical reference framework are crucial to face the current ecological disruption. The scientific perspective must be structured to help different human contexts while respecting social and cultural diversity. It is impossible to respond to global problems with disconnected local actions, which cannot be proposed as standard and effective operational models. Geoethics tries to overcome this fragmentation, presenting Earth sciences as the foundation of responsible human action toward the planet. Geoethics is conceived as a rational and multidisciplinary language that can bind and concretely support the international community, engaged in resolving global environmental imbalances and complex challenges, which have no national, cultural, or religious boundaries that require shared governance. Geoethics is proposed as a new reading key to rethinking the Earth as a system of complex relationships, in which the human being is an integral part of natural interactions.

    Description: On the border between Colombia and Venezuela, have occurred seismic events with important records of damage in both countries. In this paper, we study the historical earthquake that took place on May 18, 1875 between 11.15 and 11.30 in the morning (the time was the same for communities in both countries since there was no time zone difference), which is catalogued as a border earthquake due to the report of damages in the cities of both nations. The community of San José de Cúcuta, current capital of the Northern State of Santander, Colombia, registered the greatest number of deaths and damage to buildings. An inventory of the geological damage and co -seismic and postseismic effects was created based on information of previous studies and data obtained from archival primary sources from Colombia and Venezuela. The result is a bi-national database, which includes the summaries of historical descriptions with the effects in the persons and objects, the geological damages and effects observed during the seismic event. These data has led to the creation of a table of MM and EMS-98 intensities, which enables the identification and delimitation of the regions of greater damages. The maximum level intensity is I=10 in the cities of San José de Cúcuta, Villa del Rosario, Pueblo de Cúcuta (San Luis) in Colombia and San Antonio, San Juan de Ureña in Venezuela. Moreover, we formulated a table of intensities using the ESI-2007 INQUA scale, based on the information of geological observations described in historical documents. These data are related to the epicentral zone with an approximate radius of 30 km.

    Description: Die GLS Bank finanziert gezielt nachhaltige Projekte und Unternehmen in den Bereichen erneuerbare Energien, nachhaltige Wirtschaft, Ernährung, Wohnen, Bildung & Kultur, Soziales & Gesundheit. Eine zentrale Herausforderung ist es, die Nachhaltigkeitswirkung der Finanz- und Anlagestrategie robust zu quantifizieren und transparent darzustellen. Die GLS Bank hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, die hierfür notwendigen Methoden und Daten zur Bewertung der Nachhaltigkeitswirkungen ihres Finanz- und Anlagenportfolios schrittweise weiterzuentwickeln, um eine richtungssichere Portfoliosteuerung und Kundenbetreuung zu unterstützen. Ziel des Projektes ist zunächst, das Emissionsgeschehen der finanzierten Wertschöpfungskette abzubilden (Scope 3), aber auch die eingesparten Emissionen als einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz zu bewerten (Scope 4). Es werden die Scope 3 Emissionen der GLS Bank in den folgenden Finanz- und Anlagebereichen für das Berichtsjahr 2019 bilanziert: 1. Aktien- und Klimafonds; 2. Kredite; 3. Unternehmensbeteiligung. Scope 4 Emissionen werden in Form vermiedener Emissionen (Carbon Handprint) dabei ausschließlich für Bereiche bilanziert, in denen THG-Reduktionspotentiale richtungssicher abgeschätzt werden können. Im vorliegenden Bericht wird der Untersuchungsrahmen, die vom Wuppertal Institut entwickelte Methodik sowie Lösungsstrategien für die Überbrückung geringer Datenqualität/-verfügbarkeit beschrieben. Die Robustheit der Ergebnisse wird durch Prüfungsmethoden reflektiert und dem Leser somit eine Interpretationsunterstützung gegeben. In einem Ausblick werden Weiterentwicklungsbedarfe und -möglichkeiten skizziert, um schrittweise eine zunehmend robuste und wissenschaftliche fundierte Methodik und Datengrundlage zur Bewertung der Klimawirkung sowie weiterer Nachhaltigkeitswirkungen des Finanz- und Anlageportfolios der GLS Bank in Zusammenarbeit mit relevanten Stakeholdern zu etablieren.
