Dennis Todey (of USDA ARS and USDA Midwest Climate Hub), presented at the Adapting Forested Watersheds to Climate Change Workshop, at The Waters, Minocqua, WI on March 15-16, 2017. The workshop was hosted by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), USDA Climate Hubs, and the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts (WICCI).
Welcome to our Climate change presentation! We'll be discussing what is the climate change, causes of climate change, the different ways dealing with climate change.
Somalia is generally arid and semi-arid with two seasonal rainfall seasons. Annual mean temperature is close to 30°С throughout the country. Average monthly temperatures reach their maximum during the months of April through June.Since 1990, Somalia has experienced 31 climate-related hazards; 14 drought, 2 Locust infestation and 15 floods—tripling the number of climate-related hazards experienced between 1970 and 1990.
In 2017, a severe drought left Somalia on the verge of famine. A delayed and erratic 2019 Gu' rainy season resulted in the poorest harvest since the 2011 famine and flooding.
The country has frequently experienced extreme events like droughts and floods, and other climate-related hazards.
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
Examples of greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and forests can also release carbon dioxide. Landfills for garbage are a major source of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main emitters.
This presentation is linked the the WIll Steger Foundation's Our Changing Climate Curriculum Guide and presents an overview of the basics of climate change.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

36. Subtle changes in temperature can effect sensitive
systems – in plants and in the climate/environment
Global/local temperatures (including ocean temperatures) affect:
Precipitation: amount, timing and type
Winds: patterns, timing, velocity
Humidity: degree, timing
Soil conditions: moisture, organisms
Everything is interconnected
69. Plant disease
changing
In both animals and plants, an unprecedented number of fungal and
fungal- like diseases have recently caused some of the most severe
die-offs and extinctions ever witnessed in wild species, and are
jeopardizing food security.
Consequences for local Preserves and gardens:
More severe effects of old pests (plants are less able to cope)
New pests adapted to the changing climate: temperature & precipitation
The past two decades have
seen an increasing number of
virulent infectious diseases in
natural populations and
managed landscapes.
71. Temperature is one of the most important
influences on plant distribution
72. Temperature and rainfall limit plant
distributions in S. CA as well
Air temperature decreases
with increasing elevation
Air temperature gradients
can explain the distribution
of C3 (cool-season) and C4
(warm-season) grasses and
many other types of plants
Precipitation interacts with
temperature in limiting
species distributions
Plant species are already ‘marching up the mountains’ all
around the world
