Prestar atención a los signos vitales de nuestro planeta | Paula Bontempi, Ph.D | TEDxCapeMay

La salud de la Tierra se evalúa de forma parecida a la de un paciente: los científicos realizan revisiones periódicas de los signos vitales del planeta e informan de lo que muestran las mediciones. En esta charla de TEDxCapeMay, la oceanógrafa Paula Bontempi compara este trabajo con la atención médica y sostiene que los resultados exigen atención y acción, no solo preocupación. Es profesora de oceanografía en la Universidad de Rhode Island y ha trabajado en la sede de la NASA.

• Los científicos vigilan los signos vitales de la Tierra mediante revisiones periódicas
• Ponente: Paula Bontempi, profesora de oceanografía y antigua científica de programa de la NASA
• Los resultados del monitoreo piden atención y acción

When someone we love has changing vital signs, we don't look away—we pay attention, we show up, we learn, and we take action. Our planet deserves the same kind of care. Join Paula Bontempi as she shares how scientists are like doctors - doing regular check-ups on Earth's vital signs—and why the results demand our presence, not just our concern. Paula Bontempi is a Professor of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography and served at NASA Headquarters as acting deputy director of the Earth Science Division and as a physical scientist and program manager in ocean biology and biogeochemistry. She served as NASA Program Scientist for instrument and mission science, including the Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS), Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP), and the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission. She holds a Ph.D. in Oceanography from URI-GSO, an M.S. in Oceanography from Texas A&M University, and a B.S. in Biology from Boston College. She was a co-Chair of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) study on Future Directions for Southern Ocean and Antarctic Nearshore and Coastal Research, and the NASEM Committee for Assessing NASA Science Activation 2.0: Progress, Achievements, and Strategic Recommendations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
