The influence of Vegetation and Built Environments on Midday Summer Thermal C...Zo Cayetano
The current study assesses the ability of vegetation to improve thermal comfort during desert summers. Microclimate data and fisheye photos were collected at nine sites throughout a single section of Arizona State University campus (Tempe, Arizona) from September 18 to September 29, 2015, when thermal discomfort is at its peak intensity. Among the sites, vegetation varied from desert grasses to nearly full overhead canopy. Other components of urban form, such as proximity to buildings, were controlled among sites but often varied as well. Using the air temperature, humidity and wind speed observations, the RayMan model calculated Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET). The model was evaluated and validated using Mean Radiant Temperature data derived from observations of globe temperature. A t-test confirmed that the PET levels of the sunexposed sites were significantly higher than those of shaded sites by 7.7°C regardless of the type of shade. Furthermore, the variation in vegetation did not influence humidity among the sites, and thus did not impact thermal comfort between the same. Sky View Factor was calculated as the percentage of visible sky in each site’s fisheye photo. Midday PET levels only loosely correlated with Sky View Factor, indicating a stronger dependency on momentary than diurnal shading.
Climate-related Changes in Tropical-fruit Flowering Phases in Songkhla Provin...Orca Whale
Abstract: Changes in the timing of plant phenological phases in response to anomalous climate variability and the ongoing anthropogenic climate change have recently been studied in southern Thailand. In this study, we showed the evidence of climate-related changes in flowering phases of 2 tropical-fruit species: mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) and longkong (Lansium domesticum Corr.) during 2003-2012. The flowering dates of these tropical fruits recorded at Hat Yai district, Songkhla province and daily climate data were used to assess phenophase response to variations in rainfall and evaporation. With the observed changes in local climate conditions which are defining factors for phenological development of tropical fruits particularly in southern Thailand, the flowering dates of both tropical fruits during 2003-2012 have significantly delayed comparing with the regular pattern in the past. Paradoxically, below-than-normal rainfall was also found in the El Niño years, while La Niña years were found in opposite. In summary, rainfall variations in Hat Yai district, Songkhla province are associated with ENSO. It was evident that the flowering period of tropical fruits tended to shift to the second-half of the year instead of the first-half of the year as usual. The results revealed that, during 33 years (1980-2012), annual rainfall totals, the annual number of rainy days, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperatures from the Thai Meteorological Department significantly increased by 29.5 mm/year, 0.83 day/year, 0.116 %/year, 0.033 and 0.035°C/year, respectively. These findings suggest that anthropogenically warm climate and its associated inter-annual variations in local weather patterns may to the great extent influence on tropical-fruit phenology and their responses to recent climate change seem to be complex and nonlinear. Therefore, further study is needed to shed more light on such causal-effect linkages and plausible underlying mechanisms.
Seagrass Mapping and Monitoring Along the Coasts of Crete, GreeceUniversität Salzburg
This research proposal introduces MSc thesis research. Study object is seagrass Posidonia oceanic (P. oceanica) along the coast of Crete, Greece. The most important facts about seagrass: endemic Mediterranean seagrass, P. oceanica is a main species in marine coastal environment of Greece. P. oceanica is the largest, the most widespread, homogeneous, dense “mattes” forming meadows between 5-40 m in Mediterranean Sea. Seagrass is a component of coastal ecosystems of high importance for the marine life, playing important functions in the marine environment. Seagrasses are subjects to external factors and therefore have environmental vulnerability. The study area is located in General research area: Island of Crete, Greece. Seagrass sampling will be performed at three stations at a depth of 6-7 m: Heraklio, Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos, Crete Island, Greece. The general research objectives of the MSc research includes GIS and environmental analysis: 1) Mapping the extent of the spatial distribution of seagrass P. oceanica along the northern coast of Crete; 2) Monitoring environmental changes in seagrass meadows in the selected fieldwork sites (Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos) over the 10-year period (2000-2010). There are various multi-sources data proposed for using in spatial analysis. data of the previous measurements received during the last year fieldwork, to analyze whether P.oceanica is spectrally distinct from other sea floor types, using the differences in the spectral signatures on the graphs in a WASI, the Water Color Simulator software.

Information about the variability of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature is a reference to determine the potential fishing area (fishing ground). This study aims to determine the variation of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature effects on Cakalang (Katsuwonus Pelamis) fish catches in the waters of Sawu sea, East Nusa Tenggara. Predictions of potential areas of skipjack capture are determined based on statistical analysis and multitemporal analysis. The results showed that variations in chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature were very influential with the catches of Cakalang in the waters of Sawu. Chlorophyll-a increases in the East season (June-August) and at the beginning of Transition II (September), so this season has the potential to catch Cakalang fish.
In May 2013, Bryan K. Stolte, Ph.D., C.I.H. briefed OFFSHC on the bloodborne pathogens (BBP). Dr. Stolte discussed the related OSHA standards and the elements required in the exposure control plans. He stated that the Best Practice for BBP is to implement hands on training for new employees and follow up frequently. He also emphasized practicing universal precautions.

Due to its mechanism and effects, climatic events have been significant facts for humanbeings all times. In this study,the interrelation between the extreme climatic events in Antakya, air masses and, their routes was examined. Using the data related with extreme climatic events received from Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) and NOAA HYSPLIT model (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory), it was aimed to determine the relation between air masses their routes, and the extreme climatic events in Antakya. The routes of air masses that generate the extreme climatic conditions in 96 hours back trajectory plane at 500, 1500 and 3000m heights, according to HYSPLIT model, are given to enable the comparison in terms of altitude and event. During the analysis carried out for various climatic parameters, it was determined that Siberian and Azore anticyclone played an active role for maximum and minimum temperatures, maximum precipitation, and highest snow thickness and during fastest wind periods. The field of study was influenced by the continental polar air mass during the periods of heavy colds in particular, when Azore dynamic cyclone was dominant the highest pluvial period as a flood disaster has been occurred. Furthermore, it was understood that extreme climatic conditions, in particular maximum precipitation periods resulted in severe material damages in the territory

Vulnerability Zonation Mapping for Landslides' Occurrence Using GIS and Remot...Kosmas Stampoulidis
This presentation shows the creation of a landslide vulnerability map. The latter is developed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing methods. Seven separate maps that include land cover, lithology, distance from road and hydrographic network, altitude, orientation and slope gradient in the study area, which is the Municipality of Pogoni in the region of Epirus, northwestern Greece, are created. Then, these maps are calibrated with weighting factors and combined with a linear method. In the final map, three landslide vulnerability zones, low, medium and high, are represented. The creation of this map may result in credible future location of infrastructure, identification of vulnerable spots and settlements and selection of the most appropriate and safer land use in the region.
