Sandy beaches are complex ecosystems that provide many valuable services but are under increasing threats from human activities and climate change. The document reviews threats to sandy beach ecosystems and aims to raise awareness of the pressures on shorelines. It summarizes that expanding development and populations along coastlines, combined with climate change impacts like sea level rise, are degrading sandy beaches through stressors like pollution, exploitation, engineering, and biological invasions. Better management is needed based on existing research, and more protected areas could help safeguard these important ecosystems.
vfdfSoil erosion
Soil erosion is the washing or blowing away of topsoil by wind or water. It was a major problem during the 1930s Dust Bowl in the Midwest US. Soil erosion leaves crops unable to grow well and can weaken buildings. It is one form of soil degradation along with compaction, low organic matter, loss of structure, drainage issues, salinization, and acidity. Soil erosion occurs naturally but may be accelerated by these other degradation processes.
Sea as biological environment
This document provides an overview of the marine environment as a biological system. It discusses the various kingdoms of life found in the sea, including monera, protista, fungi, plants, and metazoa. It also describes different types of organisms in the marine environment such as plankton, nekton, and benthos. Key plankton groups discussed include phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates, and zooplankton like foraminiferans and radiolarians. The marine environment provides habitat for many forms of life and ecosystems.

Planetary boundaries
The document discusses planetary boundaries, which are nine Earth system processes identified as being critical for human survival. Exceeding the proposed boundaries for these processes risks severe environmental change. The boundaries discussed include climate change, ocean acidification, biodiversity loss, land use change, freshwater use, and biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorus. Crossing the proposed quantitative boundaries for some of these processes, like climate change and land use, risks triggering abrupt environmental shifts. The document argues that human activity has become the dominant driver of environmental change and that exceeding planetary boundaries endangers Earth's life support systems.
Marine ecosystems
This document provides an overview of marine ecosystems. It discusses the key characteristics of marine ecosystems, including the abiotic (temperature, nutrients, salinity) and biotic (organisms, predators) components. It also describes several important marine habitats like oceans, estuaries, and on-shore ecosystems. Estuaries are productive areas where freshwater and saltwater mix that provide nurseries for many species. On-shore ecosystems like beaches, lagoons, and salt marshes experience tidal influences and land-sea interactions.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth. It is highest in ecosystems near the equator like rainforests and coral reefs, which possess great species diversity. While biodiversity is distributed unevenly worldwide and tends to cluster in hotspots, it has generally increased over time but may slow in the future. Major extinction events throughout history have caused large drops in biodiversity, including the most recent Holocene extinction period driven primarily by human impacts.
Francia S. Ravis
The document discusses the Earth's hydrosphere and water pollution. It defines the hydrosphere as the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of a planet. About 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, containing about 1.4 x 10^18 tonnes of water. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged into bodies of water without treatment, contaminating the water and damaging plants and organisms. It is a major global problem, with millions of people worldwide lacking access to clean drinking water and many deaths caused by waterborne diseases each year.
Planetary boundaries
There are 9 planetary boundaries related to climate change, ocean acidification, chemical pollution, nitrogen and phosphorus loading, freshwater withdrawals, land conversion, biodiversity loss, air pollution and ozone layer depletion. Exceeding these boundaries risks irreversible environmental changes. Currently, the boundaries for climate change and biosphere integrity related to biodiversity loss have already been exceeded due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, large scale agriculture and deforestation. Urgent global cooperation is needed to transition systems and policies to prioritize environmental sustainability over unlimited economic growth to avoid catastrophic consequences.

Introduction to Marine Science/Oceanography Course Structure
This document outlines the structure of an introductory marine science/oceanography course. It describes both a traditional structure and an alternative approach focused on discovering the oil/plastics cycle. The traditional structure covers topics like the history and formation of oceans, plate tectonics, ocean circulation, marine life and ecosystems. The alternative approach has students discover their personal connection to the oil/plastics cycle on day one. They then build a mind map tracing the cycle from oil formation to plastic ingestion by seabirds. Throughout the course, exercises related to the mind map improve scientific skills and probe the geoethics of ocean resource use.
Classification of marine environment ppt
The main divisions of the marine environment. The two primary divisions of the sea are the benthic and the pelagic. The former includes all of the ocean floor, while the latter includes the whole mass of water. ... The deep-sea system is divided into an upper (archibenthic) and a lower (abyssal-benthic) zone.
Marine sediments
Oceans also contain a huge amount of mineral resources. Deep ocean basins are the zones of continuous sedimentation. The oceans are the final destination for many of all the sediments to be deposited. About 200 million years of earth history are available in the fossiliferous sediments deposited within the ocean basins. This module explains the characteristics of marine sediments.
Marine habitats
There are four major types of ocean ecosystems: open ocean, deep sea, upwelling regions, and continental shelves. The continental shelf ecosystem has relatively high primary productivity due to high concentrations of nutrients from rivers. Upwelling regions also have high productivity because deep, nutrient-rich water is brought to the surface by wind and ocean currents. The open ocean has lower productivity because it is far from nutrient sources.
The ocean's composition & location
The document provides information about ocean water and oceanography. It discusses the following key points in 3 sentences:
The ocean is composed primarily of saltwater, with salinity varying due to natural processes like evaporation, precipitation, and melting ice. There are 5 major oceans - Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. Ocean topography includes continental margins with shelves, slopes, and rises, as well as abyssal plains, underwater trenches, seamounts, and mid-ocean ridges.
Grade 9, U3-L1-Life on planet earth
The document discusses Earth's atmosphere and how it sustains life. It describes the atmosphere as a thin gaseous layer made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen that surrounds the planet. The atmosphere moderates temperatures, blocks ultraviolet light, and prevents excessive heating and cooling, maintaining an average surface temperature of 15°C. Without the atmosphere, most species would be unable to survive on Earth.
Biological Oceanography
Biological oceanography is a major scientific discipline dealing with all aspects of marine life under different zones of the oceanic environments. The interest to study biology by humans started as early as fourth century BC when Aristotle described about 180 species of marine animals. The geographical knowledge of oceans got improved after several great sea expeditions conducted by the people from 15th to 16th centuries. Through Ocean explorations people conducted detailed underwater surveys and mapped the ocean floors with respect to their physical features, chemistry and biological conditions.
The ocean's composition

Hydrosphere
The Earth's hydrosphere consists of all water on Earth, including groundwater, water in lakes and rivers, and ice frozen in glaciers. The ocean is divided into distinct regions like the continental shelf, continental slope, and ocean floor. There are five major oceans - the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Antarctic, and Arctic oceans - as well as smaller seas that are nearly surrounded by land.
ATMOSPHERE AND HYDROSPHERE
The document discusses the importance of the atmosphere, weather phenomena, and protecting the atmosphere from pollution. It also discusses the hydrosphere, including the different forms of water and importance of water. Protecting the hydrosphere from pollution is also mentioned. Weather forecasting helps prepare for weather events and evacuations if needed.
The Intertidal and Kelp Forests - Pacific Coast
The document discusses coastal ecosystems like intertidal zones, kelp forests, and the impacts of human activity. It provides background on coastal ecosystems and their importance as a food source and for tourism. Intertidal zones and kelp forests are described, including different zones and species found. The impacts of the fur trade nearly driving sea otters extinct are summarized, and how this disrupted the coastal ecosystem by allowing sea urchin populations to explode unchecked by sea otter predation. Sea otters are now described as a keystone species that help balance coastal ecosystem dynamics.
Ecosystem
The document discusses the biosphere and ecosystems. It defines the biosphere as the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. It notes that the biosphere extends from 10km above the Earth into the oceans down to depths of 10.5km. It also provides descriptions of different ecosystem types, components, zones, and the ecosystem diversity found in India.

Saltwater or marine ecosystems make up the oceans and coastal waters, and are regulated by light, salt levels, temperature, and currents. They contain a diversity of life including phytoplankton, invertebrates like jellyfish and coral, and vertebrates like fish and marine mammals. Estuaries are transitional ecosystems where freshwater mixes with saltwater from the ocean.
Finiteness of resources
This document defines and discusses the concepts of finiteness, resources, and the finiteness of resources. It states that while resources are abundant in nature, they are finite and limited due to constraints of space, time, and the laws of nature. Both renewable resources like plants and animals and nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels are discussed. The document also provides examples of different types of natural resources like water, soil, minerals, vegetation and animals, and discusses some of their common uses.
Class 7 Geography chapter no. 01 Environment
The document discusses the environment and its components. It defines environment as the natural and human-made phenomena that surround living organisms. The natural environment includes biotic factors like plants and animals, and abiotic factors like land, water, and air. The human environment comprises human activities and interactions. The environment has four domains - lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. An ecosystem is the relationship between living organisms and their interaction with the surrounding environment. The human environment involves humans interacting with and modifying the natural environment to meet their needs over time.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
