The University of Vermont Extension uses a web-based planning and reporting system for staff to plan their work and report on their activities, accomplishments, and impacts. This system has enhanced the timely reporting of information and has provided staff and administrators with a wealth of data and stories to share with stakeholders and constituents. The Logic Model Planning and Reporting System was developed cooperatively by four New England states and is now being used by seven states in total. With the ability to capture both quantitative and qualitative data, the system serves to bolster accountability, communication, reporting, and program development.
Data + Audience: Connecting to Create ImpactCourtney Clark
Presenting data that is compelling enough to get a reaction is a challenge that all organizations face, both big and small. Communicating data and maximizing impact are about supplying the right audience with the right amount of data in the right format. To increase the likelihood that your audience will latch onto your data means that you’ve got to be sure your data resonates with them.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Identify your audience types and their data consumption tendencies
- Map the types of data presentation each of your audiences needs
- Choose the right data tools to communicate your data most effectively
As we work through these areas, we will also provide you with real-life examples where organizations have successfully mapped out how their data speak to each of their audiences.
The session is half presentation and half workshop where you’ll work hands-on with the data your organization produces and craft it to better target your audiences.
Learning Objectives
- Understand data audience types and their needs
- Choose the right data products and tools to communicate most effectively
- Learn lessons from an actual real-world case study

The use of spatial data in policy development and reviewIIED
These slides, presented by Sarah Darrah from the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre at the Mainstreaming biodiversity workshop in Sogakope, Ghana, in November 2016, look at how spatial data can be used as a tool to support mainstreaming.
Darrah acknowledges that lack of access to data, and a lack of expertise in using spatial data, can be barriers to using this information for mainstreaming, but where there are existing research and data collection programmes and exchange of information between institutions, then spatial information can be a valuable.
She illustrates this using an example from the Lake Victoria basin, looking at the potential impacts of agricultural development on biodiversity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
