La tutela dell’ambiente, della biodiversità e degli ecosistemi, anche nell’interesse delle future generazioni

Il contributo offre una lettura della riforma costituzionale dell’articolo 9 della Costituzione italiana in merito alla tutela dell'ambiente, della biodiversità e degli ecosistemi anche nell'interesse delle future generazioni. L’attuazione del principio costituzionale viene letta in un’ottica di preservazione del Capitale Naturale secondo le metriche della Contabilità ambientale. A riguardo vengono analizzati il principio dell’equità intergenerazionale in materia ambientale e gli strumenti of...

Winter Intrusions of Atlantic Water in Kongsfjorden: Oceanic Preconditioning and Atmospheric Triggering

Kongsfjorden, an Arctic fjord in Svalbard, is largely influenced by the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), transporting warm and salty Atlantic Water (AW) into the Arctic region. Despite the geostrophic control preventing AW from entering the fjord in winter, AW intrusions occasionally occur during energetic local wind events in this season. However, recent intrusions remain poorly characterized, and the underlying mechanism(s) and large-scale precursors are only partly understood. This study us...

Organizing Microbial Diversity and Interspecies Relations through Diagrams: Trees, Maps, and the Visual Semiotics of the Living

This paper aims to understand how and why tree diagrams are of central importance to microbiome scientists in their practices of meaning making. The interfaces that scientists use are, in fact, topological structures that organize the genetic data generated by sequencing technology. They establish relationships among microbes and also between microbes and the conditions of the ecological niche they help construct. The tree structure is a powerful topos of knowledge organization in Western cul...
