Safe and Just Earth Systems Boundaries for Surface Water: Hydrologic Alteration of Environmental Flows

<p>Title: <strong>Safe and Just Earth Systems Boundaries for Surface Water: Hydrologic Alteration of Environmental Flows</strong> Author: Pamela A. Green (<a href="mailto:pg@pamelaagreen.com">pg@pamelaagreen.com</a>), Advanced Science Research Center, CUNY, New York, NY USA <a href="https://orcid.org/0009-0006-7803-8182">https://orcid.org/0009-0006-7803-8182</a></p> <p>The python Jupyter Notebook <strong>SafeJustEarthSysBnd_EstressCUNY-Griffith2022-23.ipynb</strong> and accompanying data sets represent spatial modelling for development of the safe and just surface water target for Working Group 3 of the Earth Commission for the Earth Commission Long Report and the &quot;Safe and Just Earth Systems Boundaries&quot; publication. The surface water target includes spatial modelling of the extent of global-scale hydrological alteration of environmental flows.</p> <p>All input datasets required to run the model are located under the <strong>ModelInput</strong> folder with raster data in zipped format to minimize space requirements. The code extracts the zipped files and then deletes the uncompressed files upon completion. All model outputs are located under the <strong>ModelOutput</strong> folder.</p> <p>Please reference the <strong>README.xlsx</strong> file for a full listing of the model input and output data files.</p>
