In #MOOC 4 about tipping points #TIPP we explored the importance of "why it is best not to reach them". The #GES4SEAS project has now published a policy brief on this topic:

Why tipping points are important when managing marine systems?
Practitioners are faced with managing marine ecosystems and their changes due to human activities and their resulting pressures. Those systems may have an ability to assimilate and resist change and/or a resilience to rebound from the effects of the stressors. As such, environmental managers need to know when that assimilative capacity of the system has been exceeded, i.e. the tipping point, when the system moves to an alternative state, from which returning to the original state is unlikely. Hence, environmental managers need to understand such trajectories of change and when and how such tipping points occur and their consequences.
New RWTHx #mooc: Introduction to AI Ethics
Generative "AI"s, self-driving vehicles, and autonomous weapons are already reshaping fundamental aspects of our shared lives, for good or ill. This challenges us with ethical questions about how we should respond to ensure that we steer this new world, as far as possible, toward the good. 👍

En cours: le MOOC Développement Durable, enjeux et trajectoires offert par l’université Laval
https://www.sdp.ulaval.ca/formation-continue/formations/developpement-durable-enjeux-trajectoires
La troisième semaine vient de commencer, j’apprécie beaucoup la mise en contexte historique, et les entrevues des experts apportent des points de vue très complémentaires.
Le livre du même nom est offert en libre accès avec le MOOC, et peut aussi être trouvé sur le site des presses de l’université Laval.

- Wetting dynamics: how droplets spread -
The speed and shape of droplet spreading depend on wetting dynamics.
Discover it in this video from the "Dynamics of fluid interfaces" MOOC by ESPCI Paris - PSL.
