This document discusses the natural gas potential in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly in the Greek exclusive economic zone. It notes that significant gas deposits have been discovered offshore Israel and Egypt, and that similar geological structures likely extend into Greek waters. The document estimates undiscovered gas resources in the entire Levantine Basin at over 3 trillion cubic meters. It argues extensive exploration and surveys are needed to assess Greece's hydrocarbon potential, especially off the southern coast of Crete, which could help alleviate expected shortfalls in Europe's gas supply by 2020.

Environmental and Health risks of Shale Gas exploitation in EuropeGreenFacts
As opportunities for exploitation of conventional resources of natural gas are
becoming more limited, new sources of gas are being increasingly being mobilized in order to meet the demand. One such important source is shale gas, which needs for extraction a process called «hydraulic fracturing», through which a presurized liquid in injected in the rockbed in order to create fissures and release the gas.
What are the potential health and environmental risks of hydraulic fracturing ?

Southeastern Mediterranean hydrocarbons - A new energy corridor for the EU?Harris Samaras
The (a) confirmation of significant quantities of hydrocarbons in Cyprus, (b) the scientific estimates of equally significant quantities in the south and southwest of the Greek island of Crete and (c) the officially declared increased cooperation between Cyprus, Israel and Greece to jointly exploit their hydrocarbon deposits may prove to be a tremendous opportunity not only for Cyprus, Greece and Israel but for the EU as a whole.
World renowned scientists claim that the hydrocarbon deposits that lie south and southwest of the island of Crete are huge; and maybe bigger than those in the Levantine Basin; they dare to state that within the EEZ of Greece there may be as much as 51 tcm of natural gas! Could this lead into the making of a new energy corridor for the EU? Shouldn’t the EU be more actively involved in the efforts of its member countries, Greece and Cyprus? Isn’t this for the EU a project of Pan-European interest thus include it in its energy policy, coordinate and assist with technical knowhow but also with political leverage and other? As critical year 2020 is around the corner, aren’t the already scientific interpretations important enough to accelerate the EU think tanks and policy institutes view on the whole issue?

1). List two positive comments or observations on fossil fuels.
2). List two negative comments or observations on fossil fuels.
3). List two systems that use fossil fuels.
4). Find two articles that are related to fossils fuels.
5). What exhaust (car and/or truck) emissions are regulated by the EPA?
6). How will 54.5-MPG Fuel Efficiency Standards affect the future economy?
7). List some alternative power systems for the IC engines and the gas-turbines (jet engine).
Note that answers to problems 5, 6, and 7 must be supported by a reference (Journal, news
article, & ….).
Solution
B) Other than the above observation, fossil fuels are easily available. fossil fuels have been of
such a great source of energy, and there are many extractions going every day. Scientists and
geologists try to find out coal mines and petroleum fields to explore more of the fossil fuel, as
the pressure is increasing day by day due to increase in population and demand. Recent
advancement in science and geology, the refineries and the extraction procedures have also
improved and simplified a lot as compared to the earlier decades. This makes the availability
even smoother.
2. A) The biggest issue now a days with fossil fuels are the rising prices, Middle-east countries
such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and African nation such as Nigeria, have huge reserves of
oil and natural gas and many other countries are dependent on them for constant supply of these
fuels. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a group of 13 countries
including Iran, Iraq and UAE are responsible for supplying 37 to 43% percent of the world’s oil
production and hold the majority of the world’s oil reserves. OPEC has a close watch of all the
natural gas and oil consumed worldwide and then according to the statistics adjusts it with their
own production to maintain its desired barrel price, resulting in high fluctuations in oil rates per
barrel.
B) Fossil fuels are needed in huge reserves wherever their plants are set up. This requires them to
be transported to the desired location via truck, train, ship or airplane. Often we hear of some
leaks in oil tankers or ship getting drowned deep under the sea that were carrying crude oil to get
refined. The impact of this is that crude oil contains some toxic substances which when mixed up
with water poses serious impact on aquatic life. Transportation of crude oil via sea can cause oil
spill which can pose hazard to the aquatic life by lessening the oxygen content of water.
3. A) Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, as the cost for producing
steam via coal is 3 times cheaper than any other medium according to the Asian Coal Reserves
2013 they are also used in Steam locomotives to produce energy for the engine to work..
B) Diesel is used in Heavy commercial vehicles and trains, as they produce large amount of
energy for engine to work for transportation heavy goods. In the United States, 93 percent of the

Assignment 2The Global Environment: An Emerging World View (cont.)
Reading Assignment:
Read Article 5, A safe operating space for humanity by Johan Rockstrom et al. on pages 36-41 in your textbook.
Overview:
This lesson will illustrate understanding of how locally-based activities influence global phenomena as climate change. You will also observe that in a time of disappointing progress is occurring in global initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions, one of the most promising paths might be a localized action.
The authors identified planetary boundaries that must not be crossed in order to avoid significant environmental degradation.
Of the 10 factors considered, 3 of them--biodiversity loss, climate change,and agricultural pollution--have already crossed the threshold for a sustainable planet.
Evidence so far suggests that, as long as the thresholds are not crossed, humanity has the freedom to pursue long-term social and economic development.
Topics Covered:Planetary BoundariesClimate ChangeRate of Biodiversity LossNitrogen and Phosphorus CyclesDelicate Balance
Key Terms:
Planetary Boundaries -- boundaries that define the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the Earth system and are associated with the planet’s biophysical subsystems or processes.
Holocene -- the unusually stable environment of the planet for the past 10,000 years, which has seen human civilizations arise, develop, and thrive.
Anthropecene -- an era that has arisen since the Industrial Revolution, in which human actions become the main driver of global environmental change.
EPA -- Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov) for more information.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG)-- an atmospheric gas such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, or methane that easily absorbs infrared radiation & gives off heat, some of it directed toward space & the rest toward Earth.
Carbon Cycle -- the cycle of CO2 in the Earth‘s ecosystem; photosynthetic organisms transform the gas into organic nutrients, which are then restored to a gaseous state by respiration & decay. Instructor's Comments:
Fact 1: Currently, atmospheric CO2 concentration is 31% higher than in 1750, a level that has not been exceeded during the last 420,000 years.
Fact 2: The primary cause is human activity, particularly fossil fuel use & deforestation leading to further increases in CO2.
As we have seen a similar trend in the previous lesson, the following graph illustrates the CO2 concentration (dashes) and the global surface Ts (solid line)
Fact 3: Burning fossil fuels in power plats and automobiles ejects poisonous particles & gases that alter the chemical structure of the Atmosphere.
Fact 4: Worldwide CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) reached a record 30.6 Billion metric tons in 2010 that economists and scientist call this as “a wake-up call”. (Source: Int.
Cyprus hydrocarbons - Energy security for the EU in the pipeline?Harris Samaras
The confirmation of significant quantities of hydrocarbons in Cyprus, (the Levantine Basin, the Nile Delta Cone, the Eratosthenes Continental Block and the Herodotus Basin) may prove to be a tremendous opportunity not only for the island but for the EU as a whole. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the aforementioned areas hold an estimated 13.8 trillion cubic meters (tcm) of natural gas. Also as per the BEICIP/FRANLAB and the Institut Français du Pétrole, the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone alone holds an estimated 3 tcm of natural gas.
Cyprus, an EU member country, a regional business and financial hub (and an established investment gateway to and from Russia) is firmly on its way to becoming an energy superpower and a guaranteed primary natural gas source and transit route to the EU, of the EU; a hub of reconciliation and regional stability!

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
