TL;DR: AgMIP as discussed by the authors is a program that involves about 800 climate scientists, economists, nutritionists, information technology specialists, and crop and livestock experts to assess global and regional-scale modeling of crops, livestock, economics, and nutrition across major agricultural regions worldwide.
Abstract: The combination of a warming Earth and an increasing population will likely strain the world's food systems in the coming decades. Experts involved with the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) focus on quantifying the changes through time. AgMIP, a program begun in 2010, involves about 800 climate scientists, economists, nutritionists, information technology specialists, and crop and livestock experts. In mid-September 2015, the Aspen Global Change Institute convened an AgMIP workshop to draft plans and protocols for assessing global- and regional-scale modeling of crops, livestock, economics, and nutrition across major agricultural regions worldwide. The goal of this Coordinated Global and Regional Integrated Assessments (CGRA) project is to characterize climate effects on large- and small-scale farming systems.

TL;DR: The Marine Methane and Nitraus Oxide (MEMENTO Chttps://memento.geomar.de)) database as discussed by the authors provides a centralized digital resaurce, the CH4 and N2 0 cancentratian measurements fram araund the glabe are collected to help researchers precisely quantify these aceanic emlSSlOnS.
Abstract: Ta understand haw Earth's climate will change in the future, scientists need ta knaw haw much heat-trapping gas is gaing inta the atmasphere taday. Hawever, aceans' emissians af twa majar greenhause gases, methane (CH4) and nitraus axide (N20), vary dramatically in time and space. With a centralized digital resaurce, the Marine Methane and Nitraus Oxide (MEMENTO Chttps://memento.geomar.de)) database, infarmatian an CH4 and N2 0 cancentratian measurements fram araund the glabe are callected ta help researchers mare precisely quantify these aceanic emlSSlOnS.

TL;DR: The surface waters of the ocean are heated by the Sun at low latitudes and cooled near the poles, which set up spatial differences in density, driving the so-called thermohaline circulation as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The surface waters of the ocean are heated by the Sun at low latitudes and cooled near the poles. These large-scale patterns of heating and cooling, along with the freezing of sea ice at high latitudes, set up spatial differences in density, driving the so-called thermohaline circulation of the ocean. A major feature of this circulation is the sinking of cold, dense waters at high latitudes. Along the slopes of the Antarctic continent, roughly 25 million cubic meters of water per second are plummeting downward toward the seafloor and then spreading outward, eventually covering the bottom of the entire global ocean and instigating a complex series of related currents that have a major effect on our climate.

TL;DR: Hanson, Lehnert, and Cutcher-Gershenfeld as mentioned in this paper proposed a new initiative that will join together major Earth and space science publishers, including the American Geophysical Union (AGU), with primary Earth science data repositories and related consortia.
Abstract: By Brooks Hanson, Kerstin Lehnert, and Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld ! 15 January 2015 At a time when stewardship of Earth and space science data requires increased collaboration, a new initiative will join together major Earth and space science publishers, including the American Geophysical Union (AGU), with primary Earth and space science data repositories and related consortia. To mark the launch of the partnership, key publishers and repositories signed a joint statement of commitment (http://www.copdess.org/statement-of-commitment/), which makes the case for collaboration as follows:
