Jason Winner, Conservation GIS Manager for Scenic Hudson presents on the new Sea Level Rise Mapper.
The mapper is a tool for communities and stakeholders to use to create visualizations of future scenarios of sea level rise. With these maps and information, Scenic Hudson is supporting communities' efforts to develop adaptation plans by helping them to:
- create maps of the extent and impacts of inundation and flood zone expansion
- understand the locations of key built and natural resources
- create graphics that illustrate different sea level rise scenarios in specific communities or stretches of the river
- estimate the risks to infrastructure and natural resources and the likelihoods of different inundation events
- develop alternative adaptation scenarios and weigh their cost and benefits with respect to built infrastructure and natural resources

This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

CORPS OF ENGINEERS
PLAN FORMULATION PROCESS
• Identify problems and opportunities
• Inventory and forecast conditions
• Formulate alternatives to manage the risk of flooding from
coastal storms
• Evaluate alternatives
o Plans are screened for completeness, effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptability
o Compare reduced damages of proposed alternatives against without project conditions
to determine benefits
o Perform an initial evaluation of environmental impacts
o Compare benefits to costs for each alternative
To be economically justified a plan must have a benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR)
greater than one
• Compare alternatives
• Select alternative
3. ADDRESSING SEA LEVEL RISE
3
• Adapting to sea level rise is NOT optional and it is a
shared responsibility.
• Incorporates the most recent, sound science analyses of
how to adapt coastal storm risk measures to increased
future sea level in their design and analyses.
• This includes assessing risk and uncertainty based on an
uncertain future.
5. BACKGROUND ON ROCKAWAY REFORMULATION
Draft Report Released August 2016 wide-ranging public and agency
comments were received
Tentatively Selected Plan in the 2016 Draft Report recommended a
comprehensive $3B plan (which has since been revised) but included:
Storm surge barrier across Jamaica Bay inlet
Atlantic Shorefront seawall dune and beach system with groin
enhancement
Smaller features in the Back-Bay to manage risk for frequent flooding
when the barrier would remain open
The $5B “perimeter plan” of floodwalls and tributary gates around
Jamaica Bay was screened out in favor of the above
Public and Agency Input called for further analysis of proposed storm surge
barrier across Jamaica Bay
Numerous comments requested the inclusion of additional natural and
nature-based features (NNBFs) in Jamaica Bay
Equally, there were many comments requesting that the study be expedited
to construct the Atlantic Shorefront feature earlier than proposed
Draft Revise Report Released August 2018.
Comment period closed October 22, 2018

6. RECOMMENDED PLAN
ATLANTIC SHOREFRONT REACH
• Reinforced
vegetated dune
and beachfill with
structure crest of
+17 ft NAVD88,
dune crest of +18
ft NAVD88 for
35,000 LF from
Beach 9th Street to
Beach 149th
Street, and include
sand tapers at the
ends of the project
• 5 groin extensions,
1 optional groin
rehabilitation
• 13 new groins
• Obtaining sand
from borrow area
located
approximately 2
miles south of the
Rockaway
Peninsula and
about 6 miles east
of the Rockaway
Inlet.

8. DRAFT BARRIER ALIGNMENT
ALTERNATIVES EVALUATED (CIRCA 2016)
Three alignments of the storm surge barrier originally considered
- Hydrodynamic modeling undertaken for design of openings
- Effects of scour on Gil Hodges Bridge eliminated C-1W
- Impacts to existing utilities considered
C-1E is the preferred alignment, C-2 is close in comparison
9. HIGH FREQUENCY FLOODING RISK REDUCTION
FEATURES (HFFRRFS)
• Due to the scale, complexity, and cost of the
proposed storm barrier, and the need for
additional study, the barrier was moved to
New York/New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries
Feasibility Study which came out of the
North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study
(NACCS)
• High Frequency Flooding Risk Reduction
Features (HFFRRFs, formerly ‘Residual Risk
Features’) are designed to complement a
potential future storm surge barrier
• In order to be recommended, each element
must be justified as stand-alone feature
(without the proposed storm surge barrier)
and have a positive benefit-to-cost ratio

NNBF PROTOTYPE
DEVELOPMENT
NNBFs created to accommodate a
variation in coastal edge conditions.
Two main variations are distinguished:
Horizontal space available between the
urban developed edge and the water line
Existing plant species composition and the
need to either extend the existing
coastline or cut back the existing bank line
to accommodate a suitable habitat for
wetland creation/enhancement
Rapidly descending bathymetry near
shoreline
Limited horizontal width between front toe
of new shoreline slope and flood control
structure on back edge
Already existing living shoreline habitats
performing CSRM function
Presence of heavy anthropogenic
infrastructure along shoreline (e.g. docks,
piers).
Gray feature structures set far back from
shoreline…no interactive capacity.
Combinations of all these factors (most
likely scenario)
Does not increase risk of wildlife hazards
to planes; habitat type restrictions near
