Summary: This passage discusses the inadequacy of global environmental assessments in addressing justice issues and proposes an Earth system justice framework as a guide for sharing limited ecospace in the global community. By analyzing how justice concerns are addressed in environmental assessments and global environmental change projects, an Earth system justice framework is developed, which focuses on achieving fair sharing of ecospace through setting Earth system boundaries and providing minimum resource needs, and addressing inequality, overconsumption, and harmful accumulation through equitable redistribution of resources, rights, and responsibilities.

Summary: This paper proposes a research agenda to better understand the complex relationship between natural resources and political regimes. It explores the potentials of Earth system science and the logic of Earth spheres. The paper suggests starting from a resource perspective and reflecting on the socioeconomic properties of natural resources to estimate their implications for political regime stability.

Summary: This article highlights the significant role of business actors in early international environmental governance, especially in shaping the transition from 'planetary' to 'global' environmental rationales between the 1970s and 1990s.

Summary: According to the standard view, as the size of rocky planets increases, the likelihood of convection in the deep mantle is expected to decrease due to an increase in viscosity. However, a recent theoretical study suggests that at pressures above 100 GPa, mantle viscosity may actually decrease with pressure at higher depths. The study explores the potential impact of this viscosity structure on mantle convection in a super-Earth planet, indicating that vigorous layered mantle convection may develop at the bottom of the planet under certain conditions.

Summary: Isotopic measurements of lunar and terrestrial rocks have shown that the Moon is similar to Earth in terms of isotopic composition, possibly due to isotope fractionation on proto-Earth during terrestrial core formation and a canonical giant impact. The data suggest that the impactor and proto-Earth mainly accreted from a common isotopic reservoir in the inner solar system.

Summary: The ruptured Anthropocene poses unprecedented challenges for international environmental law, which needs to shift towards a new form of law focused on active planetary stewardship. This new legal framework will address global justice issues and require humans to add self-awareness for deliberate self-regulation of the Earth System.

Summary: This article suggests that the safe operating space of the planetary boundary for novel entities is exceeded due to the increasing production and releases exceeding the global capacity for assessment and monitoring. Plastic pollution is highlighted as a major concern. The article presents an impact pathway from the production of novel entities to their impacts on Earth system processes and proposes several criteria for control variables. Urgent action is recommended to reduce the harm associated with exceeding the boundary by reducing the production and releases of novel entities.

Summary: This study utilizes weighted calibration methods to ensure consistency between adjacent GPS satellite orbits and clock offset. The results show that this calibration method effectively reduces differences near the day boundary and improves the accuracy of post-processing kinematic PPP and LEO precise orbit determination.

Summary: In November 2022, Australia was ranked 55th out of 63 countries and country groupings in addressing climate crisis according to the climate change performance index report released at the COP27 United Nations conference in Egypt. Despite being a high-income country in the Pacific region, Australia lags behind other developed countries in tackling climate change. The change in government in May 2022 presents an important opportunity to review Australia's sustainable development policy over the past 35 years, particularly its impact on public health.

Summary: Despite advancements in hydrological science and water resources management, the world still faces a water-supply crisis. Watershed Science is proposed as a solution to address the missing links of effective collaborations and interdisciplinary working. It promotes water governance, partnerships, and participatory decision making to address the global water crisis.

Summary: The Earth has been releasing vast amounts of heat from its interior to the surface, driving mantle convection and tectonic activities. The radiative thermal conductivity of bridgmanite at the core-mantle boundary has been revealed to be substantially high, leading to a higher heat flow from the core and more vigorous mantle convection than expected. This higher cooling efficiency of the mantle may weaken tectonic activities more rapidly than conventionally believed.

Summary: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) is an excellent remote sensing technique for sounding the atmosphere. This paper presents the use of GNSS RO for the detection of planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) over Egypt and compares the results with a model. The study shows that GNSS RO is a promising technique for sensing the atmosphere's dynamics.

Summary: The freshwater cycle over land plays a crucial role in sustainability and resilience, but is heavily influenced by human interventions, resulting in complex, delayed changes that cross boundaries and scales. Therefore, a framework is needed to understand water functions in supporting, regulating, and stabilizing hydro-climatic, hydro-ecological, and hydro-social systems.

Summary: Stars are more active when young, and there is a strong correlation between age and photometric variability. The excess photometric uncertainty can be used as a proxy for variability, and it follows a Skumanich-like relation. This method can predict group ages within a certain range and is especially useful for young ages and intermediate ages.

Summary: In the U.S., different land management entities aim to implement a wildfire management strategy spanning large areas and multiple ownerships. Cross-boundary cooperation is necessary for this strategy. This study explores historical examples of cross-boundary cooperation in forest management and identifies the key factors that promoted its establishment and durability.

Summary: The activation of nitrogen and phosphorus for food production has exceeded the Earth system's safe operating space. Disparities in the use of global nutrient activation among countries have led to severe implications for the environment, land degradation, and food security. The impact on Earth system processes, productivity gains and losses, and socio-economic impacts all depend on past use.
