Looking for solutions in climate change communicationsMichelle Kovacevic
This document discusses strategies for improving climate change communication. It suggests that using doomsday images of climate impacts is not effective and promotes apathy. Instead, communications should focus on solutions, be tailored to audiences, and appeal to people's values. Bringing people together in communities and focusing on practical solutions can help drive climate action better than emphasizing risks alone.
The document discusses the Harden Up program, a national disaster resilience program that received a $1.03 million grant. The program aims to assess community vulnerability and inspire practical action using social networking tools and climate research. It will focus on hazard self-assessment, developing personal resilience plans, and distributing messages virally with partners like the Bureau of Meteorology, Emergency Management Australia, and CSIRO. The timeframe for the program is July 2011 through October 2011.
Climate.now is a new climate change education material developed for higher education in Finland. It was created by a multidisciplinary team from several Finnish universities over 2016-2017. The material covers climate change as a scientific phenomenon, mitigation efforts to prevent further change, and adaptation strategies. It is available in both Finnish and English through a website and YouTube channel. The goal is for the open educational resources to be incorporated into university courses across disciplines to help students examine climate change from various perspectives and critically consider solutions. The team hopes the material and networking opportunities for teachers will facilitate widespread climate change education.
The document provides advice for early career scientists on changes happening in scientific careers. It discusses how technology is disrupting publishing and the relationship between academia and industry. The value of research is also being measured in new ways, such as through altmetrics that track social media mentions and blog posts. The presentation advises scientists to share their work online, be flexible, and not worry if they are unsure of their career path. Funders are paying more attention to altmetrics and how research is shared and reused both within academia and outside of it.
TreeNet is a monitoring and research network that continuously measures and stores stem radius changes in trees at 30 sites across Switzerland. Dendrometer measurements are linked to net ecosystem productivity measured by eddy covariance. Annual stem radius increments are highly correlated with annual net ecosystem productivity. Estimates of net ecosystem productivity can be derived from dendrometer data using site-specific relationships between the two. Both growth processes and tree water relations contribute to stem radius changes and explain its close linkage to net ecosystem productivity, allowing upscaling of carbon flux measurements across landscapes.
The document summarizes a graduate course that used social media to communicate research on the effects of climate change in the Arctic. Students tweeted over 150 times about course activities and findings under #ArcticCourse. They also wrote blog posts about their research projects. One group experimented with an educational game to engage the public. Feedback found using social media was a new experience for many students but helped communicate their work, with some saying it inspired them to start their own blogs. The document concludes that demonstrating societal impact through public outreach is increasingly important and social media allows researchers to deliver scientific messages to broader audiences.

This document discusses co-producing research with stakeholders to support sustainability transformations. It defines co-production of research as involving both producers and users of knowledge to develop information that meets user needs and is credible to users. Co-production aims to solve societal problems through genuine change and a mutual learning process. It can lead to impacts like new partnerships, knowledge, and organizational changes. An example project structure involves stakeholders throughout from identifying questions to reviewing results. Future Earth is introduced as an international research initiative that aims to intensify research impact on sustainability through integration, collaboration, and solutions-oriented work on focal challenges like climate change and cities. It operates through national committees, projects, and knowledge networks engaging scientists and stakeholders globally and locally.
The document summarizes a presentation on combining oceanic and atmospheric carbon dioxide data to constrain CO2 fluxes in Europe and surrounding oceans. It discusses using atmospheric CO2 concentration measurements along with ocean surface CO2 and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements to infer regional CO2 fluxes via atmospheric inversion modeling. Results show seasonal and interannual variability in fluxes agree reasonably between different modeling methods, though uncertainty remains at the global scale due to sparse data in some regions. Combining multiple modeling approaches provides a more robust estimate of surface ocean-atmosphere CO2 fluxes than any single method alone.
The document proposes establishing a GEO Carbon and GHG Initiative (GEO-C) to coordinate global carbon cycle and greenhouse gas observations and analysis. GEO-C would provide an overarching framework to integrate different observing systems and networks, optimize their design, and ensure data is accessible to support climate policy and mitigation/adaptation efforts. Its goals are to establish a comprehensive, sustained global observational system and provide decision-makers with the carbon and GHG data and information they need. The Initiative is proposed to start in 2016 with preparatory work, and transition to full implementation from 2017-2025 if endorsed and adequately funded.
This document provides an overview of the MaNiP experiment, which is a large-scale nutrition manipulation experiment in a tree grass ecosystem in Spain. The goals are to understand the ecosystem and physiological response to different nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry and water availability. The study site and instrumentation are described, including flux towers to measure carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy fluxes at half-hourly intervals. Spatial heterogeneity is analyzed using hyperspectral imagery and vegetation indices. Soil processes, nutrient availability, and fluxes are also measured.
This document discusses using atmospheric measurements of halocarbons to support emission inventories used in international agreements aimed at addressing ozone depletion and global warming. It lists various halocarbons including CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and others. Measurement networks like AGAGE and NOAA/ESRL monitor these gases globally. Models can combine measurements with information on gas lifetimes to estimate emissions on regional and country scales. Recent studies have applied these methods to verify national inventories and identify unknown emission sources. Atmospheric measurements provide a real-world check on inventories and help build trust between countries. Standardized measurement and analysis techniques are important to support emission estimates.
This document summarizes records of CO2, O2 and atmospheric potential oxygen (APO) from two remote sites in Switzerland and France over 10 years. It finds:
1) Trends in CO2, O2 and APO were similar at both sites, increasing by approximately 2 ppm, -20 permeg and -10 permeg respectively per year.
2) Seasonal cycles in the measurements differed between sites, likely due to differences in sampled air masses and fossil fuel influences.
3) Partitioning of atmospheric CO2 among reservoirs estimated from APO data accounted for anthropogenic CO2 emissions but showed some variability between the sites.
1) The study assimilated SMOS soil moisture observations into a terrestrial biosphere model to quantify the added value of soil moisture data for constraining terrestrial carbon fluxes compared to assimilating only atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
2) Assimilating both soil moisture and CO2 observations led to greater reductions in uncertainties of carbon fluxes and process parameters than assimilating CO2 observations alone.
3) The results demonstrate the potential of jointly assimilating remotely sensed soil moisture with atmospheric CO2 observations to improve estimates and uncertainties of global carbon fluxes from land to the atmosphere.
The Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) provides a publicly available, quality controlled compilation of surface ocean CO2 data. SOCAT version 4 contains over 18.5 million surface water fCO2 measurements from 1957-2015. These data enable quantification of the ocean carbon sink and trends in ocean acidification on regional scales. SOCAT data are applied in peer-reviewed studies of carbon cycling, ocean acidification, and atmospheric inversion modeling to quantify land carbon sinks.
This document discusses the importance of long-term environmental and physiological data for understanding and predicting forest ecosystem functioning. It outlines the current data and modeling paradigms in forest science, including empirical models based on long-term forestry data and process models based on eco-physiological data. The challenges of predicting climate change impacts are discussed. Long-term, high-quality monitoring data from networks like ICP Forest and ICOS are invaluable for detecting trends, testing hypotheses, parameterizing models, and data-model assimilation. The conclusions emphasize that understanding climate impacts is more difficult than expected, requiring eco-evolutionary modeling and continued long-term eco-physiological research at sites like ICOS.
This document discusses regional and country-scale carbon budgets. It begins by outlining some issues with mesoscale models and uncertainties in regional budgets due to limited observations. It then discusses efforts to close carbon budgets at continental scales and compares bottom-up and top-down estimates, finding large discrepancies. The document presents several case studies of carbon budget modeling and inversion for the Netherlands and Germany, comparing modeled fluxes to aircraft observations. It concludes by discussing reducing uncertainties in carbon budgets by bridging scales from global to regional to local through integrated surface, aircraft and potential satellite observations.
The document discusses the challenges of communicating climate change science post-COP21. It notes that while science communication is important, people are active interpreters of meaning, and climate change can seem distant, uncertain, and disempowering. It also addresses issues like disinformation campaigns and the lack of research on best communication practices, comprising about 1 in 450 journal articles. Solutions proposed include increased funding, collaboration, guides to effective practices, and united communication efforts to overcome these challenges.
This document discusses the need for an integrated global greenhouse gas information system (IG3IS) to provide scientific information on policy-relevant scales. It notes that global average temperatures have increased by 1.8-2.0°C over the past 135 years and 1.3°C over the past 45 years. Carbon dioxide levels at Mauna Loa observatory reached 402.25 ppm in August 2016, up from 398.93 ppm in August 2015. The document argues that an IG3IS is needed to inform climate intervention decisions, evaluate emissions reductions success, and support renewable energy development. Near-term goals include improving monitoring networks, analyses, and transport models to provide independent information for greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts.

It requires consumers to actively search across channels to find all parts of the story and collaborate online to share their findings. The document also discusses how academic fields are changing with increased focus on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches that integrate knowledge across fields to address complex issues. As political and economic forces shape universities, new forms of knowledge are emerging that involve multiple stakeholders both within and outside of academia.
Wesleyan Science or Wesleyan Engineering?BarryEJones
This document discusses the relationship between science and engineering, and proposes a model for Methodist churches and clergy to engage more with their local communities through community organizing. Some key points:
- It argues that engineering focuses more on creating things that work to meet human needs, while science seeks understanding, and engineering has historically depended on science but not vice versa.
- It proposes that Methodist clergy be trained as both presbyters and community organizers, focusing more on engaging their local communities around issues of social justice, compassion, and human flourishing rather than internal church activities.
- The goal is for clergy to "speak truth to power" in their localities and encourage the church to serve the common good through both word and
The relationship between science, engineering and technology is discussed. The emphasis on useful practical outcomes for human benefit and human flourishing is then used to suggest how to "engineer" a new way forward for the British Methodist Church.
Designing a connected research impact strategy for arts and humanities discip...Niamh NicGhabhann
This document discusses strategies for measuring the impact of arts and humanities research, which often involves non-traditional outputs. It notes that current systems focus too narrowly on citations and publications. To develop an inclusive system, it recommends considering four questions: how the research benefits society, who finds it valuable, how to communicate its value, and how to prove others find it valuable. It provides examples answering these questions for two projects and emphasizes gathering diverse evidence of impact from the beginning to communicate research value to different stakeholders.

Similar to Effective Communication for Climate Change Action (20)
This project received funding from the EMPIR programme and European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. It aims to establish new traceability for radon metrology quantities used in climate observation and radiation protection. Key targets are developing new calibration services, validating current radon models with traceable measurements, providing dynamic radon maps for research and regulation, and facilitating adoption of new measurement infrastructure. The project has resulted in several publications establishing new radon standards and measurement methods.
The document discusses two wind measurement instruments: the Wind Ranger 100/200 Doppler lidar and uSonic-3 Class A MP and Cage MP ultrasonic anemometers. The Wind Ranger is a compact Doppler lidar that can measure the 3D wind vector with high spatial and temporal resolution up to 200m in height. The uSonic-3 instruments use multiple measurement paths, including three vertical paths, to measure wind and turbulence with minimized shadow effects and flow distortion while offering various output options, flexible operation, internal data storage, and online monitoring.
This document discusses addressing forest canopy decoupling on a global scale. It provides background on decoupling, which occurs when there is insufficient mixing of air masses above and below the forest canopy. This can bias carbon flux measurements made above the canopy. The document outlines a global decoupling synthesis study involving over 30 forest sites. Preliminary results show decoupling occurs at all sites and is influenced by atmospheric conditions, canopy properties, and surrounding topography. Topography in particular can impact flow patterns and cause horizontal advection during decoupled periods. In conclusion, complementary below-canopy measurements are recommended to better understand decoupling and its effects on carbon flux estimates.
This study examined how drought impacts water and carbon exchange in Scots pine forests across boreal and temperate climate zones. The researchers used the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to determine drought conditions at six Scots pine forest sites representing a range of climates. They found that prolonged drought, even over multiple summers, reduced the carbon uptake and increased the water use efficiency of the pine forests. Specifically, they observed a reduction in the assimilation rate and annual carbon sequestration at one temperate forest site after an extreme drought in 2015. Linking long-term SPEI data to on-site flux and soil measurements helped explain the forest ecosystem responses to drought across different climatic
The document summarizes testing of the Picarro G4301 Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy Analyzer for measuring CO2, CH4, and H2O. Tests at a metrology laboratory found the instrument has short-term precision of 0.1 ppm for CO2 and 0.24 ppb for CH4. Long-term repeatability over 30 days was 0.08 ppm for CO2 and 0.22 ppb for CH4. The instrument was stable against varying humidity, temperature, and pressure within specifications. A comparison to a reference instrument found good agreement. Field users appreciated the portable design and reliability of the instrument for ecological and industrial applications requiring precision of 2 ppm for CO2
The document summarizes the Baltic Sea Action Group's Carbon Action project which aims to promote regenerative agriculture in Finland. The project establishes carbon action farms and verification systems to measure soil carbon sequestration. Regenerative farming techniques like minimal tilling, organic amendments, and cover crops can store more carbon in soils, reduce emissions, and support biodiversity. The project communicates these practices to farmers, companies, decision makers and scientists through an online platform and course to advance carbon removal and climate change mitigation through healthy agricultural soils.
This document describes methods to improve machine learning reconstructions of ocean carbon dioxide (pCO2) by incorporating physical knowledge. It presents two methods: (1) reconstructing the pCO2 residual by removing the temperature component, focusing the model on other drivers; and (2) using ocean biogeochemical models as a prior and training a machine learning model to estimate the climatological misfit between models and observations, allowing extension of reconstructions back to 1959. Both methods showed improved performance over original models in independent evaluation data, with the climatological correction approach capturing most of the improvement. The techniques demonstrate how physical knowledge can enhance machine learning reconstructions of pCO2.
This document presents research on the impact of below-canopy and above-canopy air mass decoupling on carbon dioxide exchange in a temperate floodplain forest. The study measured CO2 fluxes above and below the forest canopy from 2015-2020 at a site in Lanžhot, Czech Republic. While decoupling between the layers occurred regularly, the analysis found no significant effect of decoupling on the annual net ecosystem carbon exchange derived from above-canopy measurements. The flat terrain around the study site likely inhibited the removal of carbon-rich air, minimizing any bias from decoupling over longer time scales.
This document discusses using outdoor radon concentration and radon flux data for radiation protection applications.

This document summarizes one year of aircraft vertical profile measurements of CO2, CH4, and CO in tropical East Africa from September 2018 to April 2021. Over 200 vertical profiles were collected across Uganda, characterizing large-scale enhancements in all three gases that varied seasonally and with latitude. The measurements found higher tracer-tracer ratios near urban areas and observed impacts from wet/dry seasonality and biomass burning. Challenges included data gaps due to COVID, internet outages, and permitting issues. The dataset is available for evaluating satellite retrievals and biomass burning and emission models over Africa.
The document describes an investigation of the Suess effect in the surface waters of the Southern Indian Ocean between 1998 and 2021 using carbon isotope data. Key findings include:
1) Application of an extended multiple linear regression model to the data detected anthropogenic changes to both dissolved inorganic carbon and carbon isotope ratios, with a rate of increase in anthropogenic carbon of 0.8 μmol/kg/yr and rate of decrease in carbon isotope ratios (Suess effect) of 0.011‰/yr.
2) The rates of change estimated by the regression model were similar to rates estimated from observed regional trends over the study period, suggesting only small impacts from natural variability.
3) A strong linear relationship was
This document summarizes a study estimating the spatial variability of carbon cycle components in Helsinki, Finland using the SUEWS modelling tool. The study found that CO2 emissions from human metabolism accounted for 45% of local anthropogenic emissions, while net biogenic CO2 exchange accounted for 25% of anthropogenic emissions. Spatial maps showed traffic emissions were concentrated along ring roads, building heating emissions in residential areas, and human metabolism emissions in city centers. Vegetation uptake and emissions from human metabolism were comparable to or exceeded emissions from traffic and building heating in some areas of Helsinki.
This study measured CO2 fluxes and water turbulence in Jade Bay, Germany during winter to better understand how these parameters influence air-sea CO2 exchange. Researchers used a floating chamber method and infrared gas analyzer to measure the gas transfer velocity (k) and acoustic instruments to measure turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). Preliminary results found only a weak correlation between wind speed and TKE, and no significant correlation between wind speed and k. Further analysis will test for correlations between k and TKE and compare different instruments' TKE measurements, to improve models of air-sea CO2 flux.
This document discusses the Greenhouse gas Observations of Biospheric and Local Emissions from the Upper sky (GOBLEU) project. The project aims to monitor Japan's climate mitigation progress using high-resolution greenhouse gas measurements from instruments installed on commercial airliners. Initial results show GOBLEU can observe nitric oxide concentrations over cities at finer scales than satellites. Comparisons to ground-based data find GOBLEU measurements correlate well, particularly in the megacity of Nagoya where satellite data correlates less. Future work includes more frequent flights and observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence over forested areas to monitor carbon sinks.
This document summarizes research measuring stable isotopologues of water and carbon dioxide in the Amazon rainforest to better understand land-atmosphere exchange processes. Laser spectrometry was used to measure isotopic composition and fluxes at high temporal resolution. Preliminary results showed daytime CO2 uptake enriching ambient air in carbon-13, and water vapor fluxes originating from evaporated, fractionated sources similar to root water. Further analysis will include laboratory analysis of leaf, soil, and air samples to partition fluxes, as well as isotope modeling to integrate effects and fluxes. The goal is to describe turbulent exchange processes at small scales to improve understanding of this complex system.
MethaneSAT is a new satellite funded by donations that aims to measure methane emissions globally to help reduce them. Its high resolution could allow detecting diffuse agricultural emissions for the first time from space. New Zealand's researchers will help develop methods to measure agricultural methane using MethaneSAT data. They will test these methods with measurement campaigns in New Zealand, where agriculture is a major source of methane emissions. The goal is to then apply this capability to measure methane from livestock and rice farming globally.
The document discusses LI-COR's trace gas analyzer platform and its applications. The platform uses optical feedback cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy and can measure methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. It is designed for flexibility in field research. Applications discussed include measuring soil gas fluxes, long-term atmospheric monitoring, urban and mobile emission monitoring, measuring pCO2 in seawater, and profiling gas storage fluxes.
Radon is a useful tracer gas for estimating greenhouse gas emissions and reducing uncertainties in atmospheric transport models. However, current radon measurement techniques have inconsistencies that limit their usefulness. This study proposes a standardized protocol for radon data processing to harmonize measurements across sites and over time. Applying time response corrections to radon detector outputs from two UK sites improved correlations with methane concentrations and allowed more frequent flux estimations in atmospheric transport models. The standardized protocol has potential to better utilize radon measurements for quantifying greenhouse gas emissions.
A large windthrow event in 2007 turned a former old spruce forest (DE-Hzd) into a net CO2 source for 11 years until 2017. Compared to an undisturbed old spruce forest (DE-Tha), the disturbed forest was a weaker carbon sink from 2018-2021, absorbing only 21% as much carbon. In total, the windthrow caused the disturbed forest to lose an estimated 288 tons of carbon per hectare from 2010-2021. Parallel monitoring revealed both the duration and magnitude of carbon loss following the disturbance.
This document summarizes research using eddy covariance flux tower measurements to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cities. Flux towers can directly measure CO2 and other gas fluxes continuously over urban areas. When combined with trace gas measurements and footprint modeling, flux data can be decomposed to separate biological from fossil-fuel derived CO2 fluxes. Comparisons of decomposed flux data to high-resolution urban GHG emissions inventories like Hestia show good agreement, validating the inventories. Flux towers also reveal active photosynthesis in urban turf grasses, highlighting needs to represent different urban vegetation types. Accounting for variations in rural biogenic fluxes is also important for isolating urban anthropogenic emissions.

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Mechanics:- Simple and Compound PendulumPravinHudge1
a compound pendulum is a physical system with a more complex structure than a simple pendulum, incorporating its mass distribution and dimensions into its oscillatory motion around a fixed axis. Understanding its dynamics involves principles of rotational mechanics and the interplay between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Compound pendulums are used in various scientific and engineering applications, such as seismology for measuring earthquakes, in clocks to maintain accurate timekeeping, and in mechanical systems to study oscillatory motion dynamics.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.
