Denise McKenzie gave a presentation on open standards for sustainable development at Locate15 in Brisbane, Australia. She discussed how open standards can help create a "World Wide Web of environmental data" by enabling data discovery, access, and sharing. Key open standards mentioned include OGC standards like GML, CityGML, and Sensor Web Enablement, as well as other emerging standards. Open standards are needed to support environmental monitoring, accounting, and tracking progress on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Presentation to for the ISPRS Congress 2012, Melbourne
Over the last decade, standards have played a key role in the expansion of the market for Earth Observation (EO) products and services. Standards become increasingly important as geospatial technologies and markets continue to evolve in an increasingly complex technology ecosystem. OGC and ISPRS work jointly to further the development of this vital information industry.
We continue to see global growth in the supply of geometrically controlled image-based geodata. On the data supplier side, most end-use EO information products use data from multiple EO sources (aerial and satellite) as well as from ground-based sources. On the customer side, customers’ business models involving EO data require easy connections between multiple data suppliers and multiple technology platforms. Typically, new markets create stovepiped, proprietary solutions that persist until market forces create demand for standards that in turn enhance market opportunity. The OGC’s standards meet this demand in the geospatial markets.
OGC leads worldwide in the creation and establishment of standards that allow geospatial content and services to be seamlessly integrated into business and civic processes, the spatial web and enterprise computing. OGC accelerates market assimilation of interoperability research through collaborative consortium processes.
OGC has both domain focused and technology focused activities. For example, the Meteorology & Oceanography Domain Working Group ensures that OGC standards and profiles allow the meteorological community to develop effective interoperability for web services and content across the wider geospatial domain. These needs are met for example by the technology of standards such as netCDF which was brought into the OGC to encourage broader international use and greater interoperability among clients and servers interchanging data in binary form.
Most OGC standards specify open interfaces or encodings that apply to imagery. Some of these are:
o Web Coverage Service (WCS)
o Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS)
o Web Map Service (WMS)
o Geography Markup Language (GML)
o GML in JPEG 2000 Encoding
o OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF)
o Sensor Observation Service (SOS)
o Sensor Planning Service (SPS)
o Sensor Model Language Encoding Standard (SensorML).
o Catalogue Service for the WEB (CSW)

2012 Emerging Tech, OGC Standards, Mobile Platforms, and the Internet of Thin...GIS in the Rockies
Mobile devices are rapidly becoming the preferred platform for geospatial technology access and use. Mobile technology and market forces are shaping the mobile internet, of which mobile GIS is a component. A convergence of mobile technology, bandwidth, sensors, real time data access, standards, and user demand is creating a rich environment for forward thinking in geospatial standards development. In response, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has a number of standards activities focused on the requirements of the mobile geospatial/GIS community. This presentation will provide an overview of the most recent standards work in the OGC related to the mobile internet. This work includes development of ARML (Augmented Reality Markup Language), InDoorGML (model and encoding for semantically rich indoor/building content), Open GeoSMS (location enabled SMS), and the Sensor Web for the Internet of Things (IoT).
The aim of this primer is to putforth a perspective on - how does sustainability matters in real estate sector and why it should be a prime agenda of firms in making environmental friendly decision making and operations. Real estate sector can showcase their stewardship towards environment via efficient environmental friendly policies. There are varied environmental standards which are applied at the builings or infrastructure level in real estate sector, however what it lacks is uniformity in sustainability applicability to the sector. The type of material used, the design per se, installations and retrofits all matter in real esate sustainability mission and vision. Understanding environmental and climate risks and its real implications is a intricate challenge for property investors.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

"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.

Whereas sustainable development depends on the communication of environmental data, and
Whereas such communication depends on open standards,
We call upon funding agencies to support research in
Developing information requirements for environmental value chains and workflows, addressing users’ needs to publish, discover, assess, access, aggregate, analyze and display environmental data and information.
Analyzing the open data encodings and interfaces necessary for accomplishing these use cases in open distributed computing environments.
Providing estimates of the societal and industry stakeholder value that would be realized through development of such encodings and interfaces.
Also, implementing and testing candidate standards.
The OGC calls upon academic, industry, foundation and government leaders to
Appeal to funding agencies to support standards work that supports sustainable development.
Consider the value that would accrue to their stakeholders if they were to help develop one or more of the standards and best practices suggested by the studies proposed here.
Work with the appropriate standards development organizations to begin developing those standards.
