Is Earth Alive? Gaia and Systems Thinking

In this episode we discuss the famous Gaia Hypothesis (or theory). After a bit of history for context,we consider what scientists really mean when they use the term Gaia to refer to Earth’s complexgeophysical-biochemical feedback mechanisms which are profoundly affected and determined by the presence and specific properties of life here. Earth’s history and life-on-Earth’s history are deeply connected.

PT:

A Terra está viva? Gaia e o Pensamento Sistêmico

Neste episódio, discutimos a famosa Hipótese (ou Teoria) de Gaia. Após um pouco de contexto histórico, consideramos o que os cientistas realmente querem dizer quando usam o termo Gaia para se referir aos complexos mecanismos de retroalimentação geoquímica e biofísica da Terra, que são profundamente afetados e determinados pela presença e pelas propriedades específicas da vida aqui. A história da Terra e a história da vida na Terra estão profundamente conectadas.
