Extinction Edge Evading Effort Engagement (FIVEE)
Prudent humanist and philanthropic humans must ensure that for the species of Homo sapiens sapiens not to go permanently extinct from the planet there remains ample well fed and procreativity potent humans in at least 5-6 locations on the planet in groups of about 1000 to 2000 while it wood be preferably to have larger size in the vicinity of 40,000. What would facilitate most with their capability or recolonization of the planet would be set of five characteristics. What must every human adult engage in to prevent human from going extinct as a species in the context of qunitucrisis (population exposition with population senescence and morbidification; food and water insecurity triggering and disease burden amplifying global ecosystem ailment called climate change, ocean warming cum acidification, virulent zoonotic contagion outbreaks fuelled pandemics)?

Dr. Dominique Dodge-Wan The 6th Mass Extinction is now underway
In a landmark paper published in 1982, Jack Sepkoski and David M. Raup identified five mass extinctions. Are we be on the verge of the 6th? Overwhelming evidence tends to return an affirmative answer and that is a serious problem for humanity.

She graduated in Geology and Mineralogy at Brussels University (ULB) and then completed a PhD in Hydrogeology.
She worked as a consultant hydrogeologist in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, for groundwater resource investigations, borehole test pumping and contamination studies. Dominique came to Sarawak to manage groundwater research for Malaysian Rural Water Supply Schemes for Antah Biwater/JKR. The work included identifying possible water sources for drought prone rural communities in the Kuching to Sibu coastal region.

Having been a keen caver, her on-going research interest are centered on limestones and their karstification. More recently, she has identified and researched rare biologically influenced cave formations in various caves in Malaysia. Dominique is also an active member of the Malaysian Nature Society and was involved in raising public awareness for Piasau Nature Reserve.

Dr. Anders Sandberg Humanity is on the Edge of Extinction
Dr. Anders Sandberg is a senior research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at the Oxford Martin School at Oxford University. His research centres on management of low-probability high-impact risks, estimating the capabilities of future technologies, and very long-range futures by looking at year 20,0020 etc. His background in computational neuroscience, transhumanism, and futuristic studies permit him to challenge the currently popular flawed concepts an generate futuristic hypothetical viewpoints of superior validity and higher probability. All life forms have historically faced existential threats defied as threats that imperil the very survival or long-term flourishing of a species and the most relevant species for this discussion now does not relate to dinosaurs, dodo birds, golden toad, polar bears, mountain lions, but the humans themselves.

The topmost priority and a moral duty of every member of human species must be preservation of the species itself because nothing can top the task of avoiding existential threat to human species which is moralistically speaking the most obvious default top priority. Major catastrophe are likely to start to happen in the upcoming decades, most likely in the form of virulent super-Ebola like pandemics which would prove to be more lethal than the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic and would be the real life version of the depictions of viral illness breakouts in the films like contagion, outbreak etc. That should be the most important take home message from the double whammy crisis humanity is currently in the midst of.

Dr, Jason Brine PhD Major Sea Level Rise in Near Future (3-4 ft by 2100)
If you want to know what the changing climate is doing to the earth, ask someone who's been there. Jason Briner has been above the Arctic Circle more than 35 times. He takes the big topic of global warming and shows you what it's doing to a very important place in this talk. Jason P. Briner is an Associate Professor of Geology at the University at Buffalo. Briner’s research expertise lies in glaciers and climate, specifically in Arctic regions. His passion for Arctic environs obviously explains why, in 2005, Briner moved to Buffalo, NY. Briner has been above the Arctic Circle more than 35 times for his research, in the remote corners of Alaska, Arctic Canada, Greenland and Norway.

Seven surprising results from the reduction of Arctic Sea ice cover
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. It is now well known that sea ice in the Arctic has changed in both extent and thickness over the past several decades. In fact the change in sea ice is seen as one of the key global climate variables confirming model estimates of global scale warming of our planet through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) process. Extensive investigations at the leading edge of Arctic System Science have recently uncovered a number of surprises, many somewhat counterintuitive, each having significant consequences in the Arctic and through teleconnections to the rest of our planet. In this talk I will review the rate and magnitude of change in sea ice, put this into the context of our understanding of the ‘natural variability’ in sea ice over the past several thousand years. I will then review seven surprising impacts of this change: 1) increasing coverage of young ice significantly changes atmospheric chemistry; 2) more snow both preserves and destroys ice; 3) Polar bear habitat can actually improve in some areas while deteriorating in others; 4) match-mismatch timing in the marine ecosystem increases vulnerability; 5) uncertainty as to whether the Arctic ocean will increase or decrease in overall productivity is a key unknown; 6) evidence that ice hazards are actually increasing while the world marshals to increase development of Arctic resources; and 7) evidence that our recent cold winters are actually linked to our warming Arctic.

He is currently Associate Dean (Research), CHR Faculty of Environment, Earth and Resources. Dr. Barber has extensive experience in the examination of the Arctic marine environment as a ‘system’, and the effect climate change has on this system. Dr. Barber has published over 200 articles in the peer-reviewed literature pertaining to sea ice, climate change and physical-biological coupling in the Arctic marine system. He led the largest International Polar Year project in the world, known as the Circumpolar Flaw Lead system study. He is recognized internationally through scientific leadership in large network programs such as NOW, CASES, ArcticNet, and the Canadian Research Icebreaker (Amundsen), as an invited member of several Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council national committees, international committees and invitations to national and international science meetings. Dr. Barber was instrumental in a national competition to bring a Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC) to the University of Manitoba in the field of Arctic Geomicrobiology and Climate Change. As a member of the Centre for Earth Observation Science he leads a polar marine science group of over 100 people
