地球の バイタルサインに目を向ける | Paula Bontempi, Ph.D | TEDxCapeMay

地球の健康状態は患者の健康診断と同じように評価され、科学者は地球の「バイタルサイン」を定期的に計測し、その結果を報告しています。TEDxCapeMayでの講演で、海洋学者のポーラ・ボンテンピは、この作業を医療になぞらえ、結果は単なる懸念ではなく、社会の注目と行動を求めるものだと論じています。ボンテンピはロードアイランド大学大学院海洋学研究科の海洋学教授で、以前はNASA本部に勤務し、SeaWiFS、Suomi NPP、PACEなどのミッションでNASAプログラムサイエンティストを務めました。

• 科学者は定期的な検査によって地球のバイタルサインを監視しており、これは医療に似ている

• 監視の結果は注目と行動を求めるものだと主張している

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
