Climate Change- 2015
The document summarizes key points from a presentation on climate change impacts and risks over the next 10-20 years and longer term. It discusses recent record-breaking global temperatures in 2014 and 2015. It also highlights climate-related extremes in the US in recent years including droughts, heavy rainfall events, heat waves, coastal flooding and hurricane activity. The presentation discusses risks of increased drought severity, heavy precipitation events, heat waves, coastal flooding from sea level rise and storm surge, as well as uncertainty around future hurricane and tornado activity. Longer-term threats discussed include potential for megadroughts and accelerated sea level rise along the US East Coast from ice sheet melting. The document emphasizes that climate change impacts will not stabilize and
Climate Change in The world, Effect, Causes, Action.
This document summarizes climate change, its causes and effects, and actions that can be taken. It defines climate change as long-term shifts in weather patterns primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels. Some effects of climate change discussed are hotter temperatures, more severe storms, increased drought, rising sea levels, and more health risks. The causes of climate change outlined include generating power, manufacturing, deforestation, transportation, food production, and overconsumption. The document suggests actions individuals can take to reduce their impact such as saving energy, using less transportation, eating less meat, reducing waste, and switching to renewable energy sources.

Michael Simpson (Antioch University New England, Center for Climate Preparedness and Community Resilience) presented at the Adapting Forested Watersheds to Climate Change Workshop, at Antioch University New England, Keene, NH on April 4-5, 2017. The workshop was hosted by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), USDA Climate Hubs, and Trout Unlimited. Norvergence Foundation INC - Overview of the Complete State- New Jersey
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection released a report on the impacts of climate change on the state. The report details how New Jersey is already experiencing the effects of climate change through milder winters, more extreme rainfall, flooding along inland rivers and streams, and increased coastal flooding. These events threaten public health and safety, destroy property, damage critical infrastructure, and harm New Jersey's economy including the important tourism industry. The report also projects further warming, increased precipitation, and sea level rise of 1.4 to 2.1 feet by 2050 which will exacerbate flooding and coastal impacts. It finds climate change could worsen air pollution and health issues particularly for vulnerable communities and threaten New Jersey's agriculture.

Climate change
Climate change refers to changes in global or regional climate patterns over long periods of time. The document provides evidence that the Earth's climate is changing, with the average global temperature rising 0.74°C over the last century and decreases in snow and ice extent. Some impacts of climate change include rising sea levels which diminish coastal lands, more frequent droughts that threaten food and water supplies, and increased intensity of tropical cyclones. The main cause of current climate change is human activity like greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. If greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase unchecked, the climate impacts could mirror those of Venus with a runaway greenhouse effect.

El Nino affects many countries worldwide. It is a Spanish term meaning "the little boy" and refers to the Christ child. During an El Nino year, winds blow eastward across the Pacific Ocean. Teleconnections refer to the effects El Nino can have in distant locations due to global weather and climate patterns. The ocean involved is the Pacific Ocean. The reverse effect of El Nino is called La Nina. A particularly bad year for El Nino was 1997-1998, which affected countries like India and Indonesia through heavy rains and flooding.
AR6 climate change 2021 Overview
The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assesses the physical science of climate change. It finds that weather and climate events like extreme heat, heavy rainfall, fires and droughts are becoming more severe and frequent due to climate change. Carbon dioxide is the dominant cause of global warming under all emissions scenarios. The report highlights that the climate is rapidly changing due to human influence, with Arctic sea ice at its lowest level in over 150 years, rising sea levels, and declining glaciers. It concludes that halving emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050 can stop global warming.

Global Warming is not real!
The document discusses whether global warming is real by presenting arguments on both sides. It claims facts show no warming trend in the last 10 years and climate change has been more rapid in the past. However, others think global warming is real due to a famous movie and increasing proof. Skeptics argue the earth and ice have not changed and past predictions like Y2K were wrong. Supporters define global warming as a sustained increase in average temperatures causing climatic changes.
Robbie and Laura 2
The document discusses greenhouse gases, climate change, and global warming. It defines each term and explains how they are related. The primary cause of global warming is believed to be the expansion of the greenhouse effect caused by human activity. Potential consequences of unchecked global warming include changing weather patterns, health impacts, effects on wildlife like polar bears becoming extinct, and rising sea levels endangering coastal areas and glaciers. Individual actions like recycling and using less energy can help reduce global warming, while some argue the effects may be minor or the problem does not exist. The document expresses the opinion that global warming does exist and preemptive action is warranted.
Global warming-25410
The document discusses the threats posed by climate change, including rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, and more frequent extreme weather events. It notes that the scientific community agrees that human activity is largely responsible for climate change. If current trends continue, the consequences will be severe, including rising sea levels that flood coastal areas, widespread species extinction, and economic impacts comparable to major wars or depressions. However, the document argues that collective action to address climate change through sustainability and green technologies can help mitigate these risks.

The document discusses the causes and effects of global warming. The main causes are burning fossil fuels, deforestation, overproduction, and increased CO2 levels. Some effects of global warming include rising temperatures, melting glaciers and sea ice, and faster sea level rise. If warming continues, hurricanes and storms are expected to intensify, floods and droughts will increase, fresh water availability will decline, and ecosystems will be disrupted. Reducing fossil fuel use, planting trees, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions are proposed to mitigate global warming impacts.

2016 state-of-the-climate-report cfact
This document is a 2016 state of the climate report presented at a UN climate conference. It summarizes key climate data and highlights that global temperatures have been flat for 18 years, extreme weather events have not increased, and polar bears and sea level rise are not threats. It questions climate models and policies, noting that CO2 is essential for life and climate is influenced by many factors. Prominent scientists are now doubting or reversing beliefs in catastrophic human-caused global warming. Proposed solutions would have no measurable impact on climate.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. This global warming leads to climate change through changes in weather patterns and seasonal shifts. Some consequences of climate change include melting glaciers/rising sea levels and impacts on wildlife and the economy through more extreme weather. While some scientists argue global warming is a natural phenomenon, others believe humans contribute through activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions like burning fossil fuels. The authors disagree on the extent of human influence, with one arguing it is natural and the other a combination of natural and human factors.

- Tornadoes in the US have not increased in frequency, intensity or damage since 1950, and may have declined slightly. Floods and hurricanes also show no increasing trends in frequency or intensity over similar periods. Globally, weather-related economic losses have decreased as a proportion of GDP since 1990 despite greater development in vulnerable areas. While human-caused climate change poses risks, the data do not support claims of increasing trends in extreme weather events attributed to climate change. Projections suggest extremes may increase in the future, but detection of impacts on weather events will be difficult for many decades.
Climchgpolicy
The document discusses climate change in Texas and potential policy responses. It finds that Texas is one of the most vulnerable states to climate change impacts due to projected increases in temperatures, decreases in water availability, and increasing risks from hurricanes and drought. The document outlines strategies to mitigate climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy systems, agriculture, forestry, and other sectors. It also discusses options to adapt to the impacts of climate change through measures like coastal protection and structural adaptation.

This document discusses climate change and summarizes comments from climate change advocates that call into question their confidence in the science of climate change. It notes that former US Senator Timothy Wirth said "we have got to ride the global warming issue" even if the theory is wrong, as it would advance economic and environmental policy goals. It also cites Maurice Strong saying the only way to save the world may be for industrial civilization to collapse, and Richard Benedick saying a climate treaty must be implemented even without scientific evidence for enhanced greenhouse effects.

This document summarizes key information from Sean D. Moriarty, Esq., Chief Advisor for Regulatory Affairs at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, on climate change challenges facing New Jersey and two executive orders signed by the governor to address these issues. It notes that sea levels are expected to rise significantly in New Jersey by 2100 and beyond, and that Executive Order 89 establishes a statewide climate change resilience strategy while Executive Order 100 directs regulatory reforms to mitigate and adapt to climate change through reducing carbon emissions and incorporating climate risks into land use regulations. Stakeholders are invited to provide comments on New Jersey's climate protection efforts.
State Of Enviroment Presentation
The document summarizes key findings from two reports on climate change and the environment. The Third Assessment Report from 2001 found that average land temperatures had increased 0.6 degrees Celsius over the 20th century due to greenhouse gases and human activity. It also projected more extreme weather events and impacts. The Fourth Assessment Report provided more data and research showing substantial human-caused environmental damage and climate change impacts like rising temperatures and sea levels. It emphasized reducing greenhouse gas emissions but saw the Kyoto Protocol as a disappointment.
Global Warming
Global warming is the increase in average temperature on Earth over the last century due to greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. It is causing more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and harm to human health and wildlife. Polar bears and whales are particularly threatened as their habitats change. To address global warming, countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through initiatives and technology while adapting to impacts already occurring. Individual actions like conserving energy and driving less can also help reduce the effects of climate change.

In 2017, the city of Cape Town, South Africa’s second most-
important economic center, began to run out of water. Experiencing
a drought of historic proportions, officials in the city of nearly four
million people watched with trepidation as water levels in key
reservoirs declined at alarming rates. Most worried was Patricia de
Lille, a former laboratory technician and labor- union leader who
served as Cape Town’s mayor. “ We are in a very serious crisis and
we know there are still some customers who are acting as if our
resources are not under strain,” she warned in February 2017.1 In
October 2017, de Lille said that “[i] f consumption is not reduced
to the required levels of 500 million liters (132 million gallons) of
collective use per day, we are looking at about March 2018 when
supply of municipal water would not be available.”2 The fateful
date soon became more precise: March 13, 2018. The countdown
began to what came to be known as Day Zero— the day when, for
the first time in modern history, the taps of a major city would
run dry.
To avert the crisis, de Lille and her team rolled out every tool
available. The government raised water rates, imposed fines on de-
linquent water users, tightened enforcement, and expanded leak de-
tection and repair. It rushed to bring new infrastructure on line to
increase water supply, including new desalination plants. The city

In 2017, the city of Cape Town, South Africa’s second most-
important economic center, began to run out of water. Experiencing
a drought of historic proportions, officials in the city of nearly four
million people watched with trepidation as water levels in key
reservoirs declined at alarming rates. Most worried was Patricia de
Lille, a former laboratory technician and labor- union leader who
served as Cape Town’s mayor. “ We are in a very serious crisis and
we know there are still some customers who are acting as if our
resources are not under strain,” she warned in February 2017.1 In
October 2017, de Lille said that “[i] f consumption is not reduced
to the required levels of 500 million liters (132 million gallons) of
collective use per day, we are looking at about March 2018 when
supply of municipal water would not be available.”2 The fateful
date soon became more precise: March 13, 2018. The countdown
began to what came to be known as Day Zero— the day when, for
the first time in modern history, the taps of a major city would
run dry.
To avert the crisis, de Lille and her team rolled out every tool
available. The government raised water rates, imposed fines on de-
linquent water users, tightened enforcement, and expanded leak de-
tection and repair. It rushed to bring new infrastructure on line to
increase water supply, including new desalination plants. The city

06 April Lewisvile Dam Press Conference Remarks
Public safety is the top priority for Lewisville Lake Dam. While some issues are known, the dam is not at risk of failing. Both short and long-term plans are in place to maintain dam safety. Repairs are underway to address recent concerns discovered through annual inspections and monitoring. A $10 million contract was awarded to fix issues from 2015 flooding. Long-term risk reduction measures currently in development will begin construction in 2018, earlier than planned. The Fort Worth District is committed to transparency and has invited officials to witness ongoing repairs.

Hurricane Sandy
Tamed tne
Bureaucracy
A practical story of
making science useful for society,
with lessons destined to
grow in importance.
R
emember Hurricane Irene? It pushed across New
England in August 2011, leaving a trail of at least
45 deaths and $7 million in damages. But just
over a year later, even before the last rural bridge
had been rebuilt. Hurricane Sandy plowed into
the New Jersey-New York coast, grabbing the
national spotlight with its even greater toll of
death and destruction. And once again, the region—and
the nation—swung into rebuild mode.
Certainly, some rebuilding after such storms will always
be necessary. However, this one-two punch underscored a
pervasive and corrosive aspect of our society: We have rarely
taken the time to reflect on how best to rebuild developed
areas before the next crisis occurs, instead committing to a
disaster-by-disaster approach to rebuilding.
Yet Sandy seems to have been enough of a shock to stim-
ulate some creative thinking at both the federal and regional
levels about how to break the cycle of response and recov-
ery that developed communities have adopted as their de-
fault survival strategy. I have witnessed this firsthand as part
of a team that designed a decision tool called the Sea Level
Rise Tool for Sandy Recovery, to support not just recovery
from Sandy but preparedness for future events. The story
that has emerged from this experience may contain some
useful lessons about how science and research can best sup-
port important social decisions about our built environ-
ment. Such lessons are likely to be of increasing importance
as predicted climate change brings the inevitability of ex-
treme weather events.
A story of cooperation
In the wake of Sandy, pressure mounted at all levels, from lo-
cal to federal, to address one question: How would we re-
build? This question obviously has many dimensions, but
one policy context cuts across them all. The National Flood
Insurance Program provides information on flood risk that
developers, property owners, and city and state governments
are required to use in determining how to build and rebuild.
SUMMER 2014 83
Run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), the program provides information on the height of
floodwaters, known as flood elevations, that can be used to
delineate on a map where it is more or less risky to build.
Flood elevations are calculated based on analysis of how
water moves over land during storms of varying intensity, es-
sentially comparing the expected elevation of the water sur-
face to that of dry land. FEMA then uses this information to
create flood insurance rate maps, and insurers use the maps
to determine the cost of insurance in flood-prone areas. The
cost of insurance and the risk of flooding are major factors
for individuals and communities in determining how high
to build structures and where to locate them to avoid seri-
ous damage during floods.
But here's the challeng.
Herrmann, Victoria. (2017). The United States Climate Change Relocation Plan
The reality of internally displaced communities due to sea level rise, flooding, and extreme storm events in the United States has arrived, and is poised to get worse. However, the US federal government remains ill-prepared to deal with the immense and undeniable human security challenge at hand. At present, there is no dedicated funding, dedicated lead agency, or dedicated policy framework to guide communities in need of relocation. In "The United States’ Climate Change Relocation Plan," Victoria Hermann looks at private, philanthropic, and nonprofit sector engagement in the relocation of American communities displaced by climate change. She proposes a foundation-led effort to coordinate a program providing resources, expertise, support, and guidance to towns in need of managed retreat.
Introducing the LEED Resilient Design Pilot Credits
The document introduces new LEED pilot credits focused on resilient design. It provides an overview of the credits and why resilient design is important, noting increased risks from natural hazards, climate change impacts, and government policies promoting resilience. The credits include requirements for assessing resilience risks of a project site and planning for enhanced resilience and passive survivability in emergencies. The intention is to encourage proactive resilience planning early in the design process.
Welsh bacc teacher training day
Climate change is increasing temperatures globally and affecting weather patterns. In Wales, summers are projected to become drier and winters wetter by 2080. Sea levels around Wales are also expected to rise 30-40cm, increasing flood risk to coastal areas like the Severn Estuary. Adapting to climate change requires considering impacts to health, infrastructure, natural resources and more. Education resources aim to improve awareness and skills for teaching about climate change.
Climatology of High Impact Winter Weather Events for U.S. Transport Hubs
This document provides a summary of a project examining the climatology of high impact winter weather events (HIWWE) that cause disruptions to transportation systems across major US transport hubs. The project analyzed temperature data from National Weather Service stations to create probabilities and time series of locations exceeding certain cold temperature thresholds. Results showed northern US locations, especially inland, exceed thresholds like -10°F and 0°F more frequently than coastal areas. Peak probabilities shift from early January east of the Rockies to late January in the western Great Lakes. Most locations saw a decreasing trend in very cold temperatures. The document discusses how both surface conditions like snow and cold temperatures can impact transportation and goods being transported.
Climate Change Increases the Tension between Droughts and Floods
This document discusses how climate change is increasing tensions between droughts and floods. It provides the following key points:
1) Strong evidence shows climate change is causing more severe droughts and heavy precipitation events, intensifying the tension between droughts and floods.
2) Droughts and floods are closely related - as precipitation patterns change, drought-prone and flood-prone areas are shifting.
3) Both droughts and floods pose risks to global and national security by potentially exacerbating other challenges like food insecurity and infrastructure damage. Preparedness and resilience measures are needed to reduce impacts.
Toward Greater Hazard Resilience in a Changing World
This document discusses the challenges of increasing hazard resilience in coastal communities in a changing world. It outlines trends like rising sea levels, changes in storm regimes, growing coastal populations and development, and loss of natural defenses that exacerbate coastal hazards. These trends point to the need to move beyond traditional approaches and work towards building community capacity to adapt to changing risks. The document argues that achieving true resilience requires embracing new ways of thinking that prioritize anticipating hazards, reducing vulnerabilities, and supporting long-term learning and change.
national-flood-resilience-review
This document summarizes the findings of the National Flood Resilience Review in the UK. The review was prompted by extreme flooding events in recent years. Key findings include:
1) New extreme rainfall scenarios were developed to stress test flood risk models and maps. This revealed infrastructure at risk of flooding.
2) Temporary flood defenses could help protect critical local infrastructure, and a pilot study assessed their potential use.
3) Next steps include improving infrastructure resilience, response plans, innovative flood defenses, and long-term modeling improvements. Better communication of flood risks is also recommended.
Workshop 1 - Molly Woloszyn
The document discusses the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and its efforts to advance drought preparedness and monitoring in the Midwest region. NIDIS works to provide early warning of drought by coordinating monitoring networks and producing outlooks. It supports 9 regional early warning systems to leverage local expertise and resources. The systems provide tools like the U.S. Drought Monitor map and state-specific information pages. NIDIS also coordinates research, planning resources, and monthly webinars to improve understanding and response to drought impacts.
Climate Collaboration WS - Molly Woloszyn
The document discusses the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and its efforts to advance drought preparedness and monitoring in the Midwest region. It notes that drought is a recurring problem that is projected to worsen with climate change. NIDIS works to provide early warning of drought by coordinating monitoring networks and producing outlooks. It supports 9 regional early warning systems and resources to help communities and sectors plan for and respond to drought impacts. The overall goal is to help the nation move from reactive to proactive drought management.
Dealing with Mother Nature's attitude problem - v.19
The document discusses preparing water utilities for climate and weather uncertainty. It argues that while the causes of climate change may be debated, water utilities still need to plan for potential impacts like flooding, drought, and severe weather. The author provides examples of extreme events to consider in planning and resources from the EPA on building climate resilience. Utilities are encouraged to examine various scenarios and prioritize preparations that mitigate their worst risks.
Eastern ontario local food 2050 - Shereen Panesar
This session will provide an overview of what climate change means for agriculture in Eastern Ontario. What does current scientific understanding predict for this region when it comes to growing conditions in the coming years? Concepts of adaptation and mitigation will be discussed, providing producers with practical suggestions to meet challenges and access opportunities that might arise from climate change. Current research and policy initiatives, designed to contribute to the resilience of the agriculture sector, will be introduced.
21. TCI Resilience Flagship Report 2012
This document analyzes Australia's exposure to climate change risks for major infrastructure and the country's level of preparation. It finds that infrastructure damage is a leading cost of climate change globally. While Australia is vulnerable due to its climate and coastal population centers, national readiness is patchy. Several infrastructure sectors like electricity and water have begun coordinated climate adaptation efforts, but most sectors are underprepared for impacts like flooding and heatwaves. The report calls for businesses to fully assess climate risks and governments to better integrate climate risk management nationally.
Resilient Power for Sustainable Cities
The document discusses how cities are increasingly affected by disasters due to climate change and are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. It states that mayors see the challenges their cities face in terms of residents' health, access to clean water, transportation, and surviving disasters. The document argues that cities need resilient power infrastructure like microgrids and distribution automation to function and be both resilient to disasters and sustainable by reducing emissions. It suggests electric utilities should partner with mayors to address cities' sustainability and resiliency challenges, as mayors are major stakeholders focused on addressing local issues.

Community Planning & Capacity Building
The document discusses community planning and capacity building for disaster recovery. It focuses on supporting local governments and determining what is needed to be successful in adapting after a disaster. Key factors in community resilience include leadership, planning, community engagement, and recovery management. The Community Planning and Capacity Building Recovery Support Function coordinates support from federal and non-federal groups to help local governments improve their planning, coordination, and public information capabilities for disaster recovery. Failure to adapt can result from lack of leadership, direction, coordination, and community involvement.
Understanding Catastrophe Modeling
This document summarizes a presentation on catastrophe modelling. It discusses the typical risks modeled like hurricanes, floods and earthquakes. It explains how cat models work by generating stochastic events, assessing hazards, applying vulnerability to calculate damage, and quantifying financial loss. Cat models produce exceedance curves and estimate average annual loss to help set premium rates and layers. Major cat model vendors include independent companies focused on insurance as well as some governmental and academic institutions. Other tools mentioned include global detection systems using satellites, drones and social media.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Editor's Notes
- Temperatures on every continent are rising decade-by-decade and Utah’s temperature trend reflects this too. Utah-specific temperatures: year-to-year fluctuations. One year to see through noise and into trends is by looking at a “running mean” Graphic represents a 60-month (5-year) running average of temps in Utah – take this year and preceding four years to create a data point. Warmer “Average” Temperatures: The appearance of extreme heat events? The absence of cold winter freezes? Changes in precipitation patterns? Decrease in amount and duration of snowpack? More frequent, more intense weather events possibly including: heat waves, severe wind, few but heavy snow and rain storms, droughts?
