Excessive withdrawal of groundwater in coastal areas will most likely result in saltwater intrusion into the water table as freshwater is removed. Destroying marshes can lead to decreased filtering of water. Small farms raising large numbers of animals are a major source of air pollution. The brochure was focusing on the climate of North Carolina, as it described variations in summer conditions and large ranges in annual rainfall across the state.

Climate Activists Take to Social Media but Who are They Reaching? And why it ...Jill Hopke
In December 2015, representatives of 195 nations meeting in Paris for the Conference of the Parties (COP21) set an ambitious goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the mid-century. During the talks climate activists took to social media to get out their message on climate justice. Before the official summit kicked off, activists held more than 2,300 events in over 175 countries in a Global Climate March, rallying around the shared goal, “Keep fossil fuels in the ground and finance a just transition to 100% renewable energy by 2050.” Global activism was impressive in scale, but did activists reach people on social media who are not already supporters of action on climate change? My analysis of social media during the climate summit shows little interaction between climate activists and the industry most closely associated with carbon emissions: oil and gas. In this talk I’ll explore what this might mean for future climate action and our collective ability to live up to the goals set at COP21.
The fossil fuel divestment part of this research project is in conjunction with my colleague Luis Hestres, of the University of Texas at San Antonio (http://www.luishestres.com).

Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today. Rising global temperatures will bring changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather. Do we just fold our hands?

Superstorm Sandy's landfall on the northeastern US coast was forecast remarkably well in the days leading up to it. That forecast enabled many life-saving preparations. Another kind of forecast, equally accurate in its own way, had been available much earlier - and yet was not nearly as effective at spurring preparedness. The risks to our built environment of a Sandy-like event had been known for decades. But little was done to make that built environment more resilient, and it suffered great damage as a result. The forecast conforms to a historical pattern in which science-based warnings of the risk of a future disaster are not taken seriously until the disaster has happened at least once. What risks do we face from extreme weather and climate events, on the coasts and inland, now and in the future? Can we learn to make better use of scientific risk assessments with long time horizons? Most of all, how can we prepare for human-induced climate change, when - as Sandy was - it will be outside our experience?
The Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response Network (MEOPAR) hosted a speaker tour featuring Dr. Adam Sobel, Director and Chief Scientist of the Columbia Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate. Dr. Sobel presented information drawn from his recently published book Storm Surge. He received his PhD in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a professor at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He is an atmospheric scientist who specializes in the dynamics of climate and weather, particularly in the tropics, on time scales of days to decades. A major focus of his current research is extreme events - such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts, and the risks these pose to human society in the present and future climate. He is leading a new Columbia University Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate.

Saltwater intrusion can occur in aquifers near coastlines, when fresh groundwater in the aquifer is displaced by saltwater. Coastline aquifers become more vulnerable to saltwater intrusion when freshwater recharge rates are low, or withdrawal rates are high.

Saltwater intrusion can occur in aquifers near coastlines, when fresh groundwater in the aquifer is displaced by saltwater. Coastline aquifers become more vulnerable to saltwater intrusion when freshwater recharge rates are low, or withdrawal rates are high.
Freshwater is water that contains very little salt and is drinkable for humans and wildlife. Freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, streams, water wells, aquifers, waterfalls, and icebergs as well as snow and the polar ice caps.
Freshwater is water that contains very little salt and is drinkable for humans and wildlife. Freshwater is found in rivers, lakes, streams, water wells, aquifers, waterfalls, and icebergs as well as snow and the polar ice caps. An aquifer is an underground area that is permeable and contains water.
The earth is getting warmer due to the global warming. There are many climates all over the planet. Some areas of Earth have snow every day, and some are so dry they almost never have rain or snow
Global warming is damaging the oceans. Actually there is only one giant ocean, but we have chosen to name different areas so that we can understand them more easily.
Weather satellites and how to read the signsKella Randolph
Weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity. Climate is for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. Air mass – a large body of air that is similar in temperature, humidity, and air pressure throughout.
Air masses can measure hundreds or even thousands of miles across
The definition of the universe is all matter and energy. Our Earth, our Sun and the planets, moons, asteroids, etc., that make up our galaxy, are just a very small part of the universe.
NASA has some information based on more than fifty years of research and exploration of the moon. Impact theory says that two planets collided billions of years ago causing parts of both to combine and form a smaller sphere that orbits the larger one.
Estuaries unique environment makes them a great place for humans and animals. Humans benefit from the beauty of estuaries and the food and resources they provide. Estuaries make great tourism attractions or harbors and ports

What is the difference between weather and climate? Koppen Classification is a tool that helps us recognize the many different climates in biomes worldwide.
Burning coal makes ozone, smog, acid rain, climate change, mercury pollution
Oil spills damage all living things
Natural gas is poisonous and is colorless, odorless and tasteless. We must add a bad smell to it in order to prevent being killed by a gas leak
Earth rotates every 24 hours, giving sunlight to one side while the other side is in darkness. earth revolves around the sun every 365 days, with a one-day adjustment in our calendar every four years. Seasons occur because of the angle at which sunlight strikes the earth. Because the planet is always moving, the seasons change on a regular basis.
North Carolina's Outer Banks is home to many beautiful estuaries. Estuaries are coastal areas with shallow waters that are mixed with sea water and freshwater flowing from watersheds. These areas are known as nurseries for thousands of species of sea creatures. Sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs and when those hatch, the baby turtles scramble back toward the ocean where they will live out their lives. Fish, manatee, sharks, starfish, and many other species are at home in the Croatan Sound Estuary.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. Water has to go
somewhere
Excessive rain will cause an increase in
runoff and infiltration in an area.

4. What happens when the
marsh is gone?
• Marshlands serve as habitat
for many life forms. They also
help in soaking up extra water
and marshlands filter and
cleanse water.
• Destroying a marsh can lead
to decreased filtering of
water.

5. Temperature increases as altitude increases in both the stratosphere and the
thermosphere. What is the main difference between these two layers?
the stratosphere
• The temperature increases in
the stratosphere because ozone
absorbs ultraviolet radiation
the thermosphere
• The temperature increases in
the thermosphere because of
direct exposure to the sun.

6. When is it enough?
• What would most likely
result if more farms were
developed along river basins in
North Carolina?
• Due to runoff from
fertilizers, animal wastes and
compacting of some of the
land, there would be an
increase in water pollution.

7. Which is a major source of air pollution?
small farms raising large numbers of animals such as cows and pigs
https://elimufeynman.s3.amazonaws.com/media/uploads/social_studies/dairy_farm.jpg
8. Which is most often a result of a warm air mass moving
over a cooler air mass?
The result is often an increase in precipitation

https://a1gaurav.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/its-raining2.jpg
9. Wind speed
• Which has the greatest influence on wind speed?
• Differences in the density of adjacent air masses cause
the wind to blow. Colder air is more dense, and it sinks.
Warm air is thinner and it tends to rise. When these two air
mases meet, the movement is often in a circular pattern.
But sometimes the warmer air simply rises quickly causing
an upward draft.

10. Weather or Climate?
• Joan picked up a brochure on
North Carolina and learned the
facts listed below.
• •It may experience either hot,
humid summer conditions or more
moderate summer conditions.
• •The annual rainfall across the
state ranges from 37 to 90 inches.
Which aspect of North Carolina was
Joan focusing on from the
brochure?
• climate of North Carolina http://www.punditcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/1-2.png?x10418
11. Which is least likely to
cause changes in
global climate?
A tsunami event certainly can cause a huge
amount of destruction, but it is basically a
one time event. The flooding happens in a
specific area and not over the entire globe.
