The term " matrioshka brain " was invented by Robert Bradbury as an alternative to the " Jupiter brain " a concept similar to the matrioshka brain, but on a smaller planetary scale and optimized for minimal signal propagation delay.

This wave forcing of the flow is particularly important in the stratosphere, where this momentum deposition by planetary scale Rossby waves gives rise to sudden stratospheric warmings and the deposition by gravity waves gives rise to the quasi-biennial oscillation.

As part of the work of Calit2, he is Principal Investigator on the NSF OptIPuter LambdaGrid project, an " optical backplane for planetary scale distributed computing " and the CAMERA Project, a high-performance computing resource for genomic research.

It is absolutely imperative that we make a lot of money, because the only way we are going to solve the planetary scale problems that we have is if business starts off and we demonstrate that people _ farmers and investors _ can make money,

These biophysical systems are ecologically interrelated and naturally resilient, but human civilization has transitioned the planet to an Anthropocene epoch, where the threshold for planetary scale resilience has been crossed and the ecological state of the Earth is deteriorating rapidly to the detriment of humanity.

The British biologist, Arthur Tansey ( 1871-1955 ), who introduced the term ecosystem, also considered the possibility that plant communities could be considered to be boundary-less quasi-organisms, although he never extended his ideas to a planetary scale.

When rejected by the suspicious humans, the Angels resort to sabotage on a planetary scale, using terraforming equipment from the " Challenger " to melt Paradise's polar ice caps and thus raise the sea level in an attempt to get their former crew to rejoin them on the ship.

He can utilize his cosmic life force for a variety of effects, including levitation, the projection of blasts of cosmic energy, teleportation across space and time and alternate dimensions, adjusting his height, control time to interact with beings moving at superhuman speed, or transformation and rearrangement of matter on a planetary scale.

A mine crawler _ a surface-chewing lawn mower operating on a planetary scale _ has appeared in Edmonton, Alberta . ( A small in-joke : BioWare is based in Edmonton . ) So Kurt Hectic, hero of the first game, goes back into action, diving from the orbiting Jim Dandy spacecraft while dodging missiles.

This vision was largely a sign of the times, in particular the growing perception after the Second World War that human activities such as nuclear energy, industrialization, pollution, and overexploitation of natural resources, fueled by exponential population growth, were threatening to create catastrophes on a planetary scale, and has influenced many in the environmental movement since then.
