Atmospheric Pollutant Emissions and Hydrological Data with Anthropocene Elements: Critical Theory and Technologies of Balance in the Climate–Economy–Society Axis
The topic proposal concerns the axes of climate operation and modification, the consequences and/or benefits of the flow of the economy, as well as the risks to social security, amidst the evolution of human interventions, which the Anthropocene highlights. Atmospheric data demonstrates the interaction of gaseous pollutants and aerosols, with the contribution of different emission and pollution sources to its chemical composition. At the same time, satellite remote sensing of precipitation and the water cycle reveal an imbalance in components and effects, in an environment of rapid rates of commercial production and human mobility in the developed world. How does mobility prevent the full observation and modeling of the elements involved (in atmospheric and hydrological data)? What is the role of multi-sensor technologies for detecting gases and what are their applications in decontamination? With sources from bibliographic reviews, data were collected from the detection of point sources of gases and dynamic analyses of the extent of the water surface, in order to highlight the descriptive characteristics of the meteorological phenomena and their activity. The scientific approach to analyzing the individual data is based on the techno-scientific Actor-Network Theory, in order to test their connection and contribution to the overall problematic result. The aim of this study is to build an interdisciplinary analysis with documentation of vulnerabilities in the expression of weather phenomena, of the present geological time. The ambition of the study is to propose principles of regulation and precaution, related to the sustainable development of geo-resources and ways to reduce vulnerability.
