Climate change is altering the ecosystem of Windermere lake in the following ways: Warming water temperatures have reduced zooplankton populations and increased the numbers and range of roach fish. This has led to bottom-up effects of increased phytoplankton and top-down impacts such as reduced Arctic charr fish and lower oxygen levels at depth. Path analysis indicates the changes have rippled through the food web, impacting top predators like pike fish, whose diets have shifted over time. Climate change represents a global stressor that cannot be managed locally, and further surprises are expected as species ranges shift in the lake's complex interacting system.

The Hydrology of high Arctic Lakes and Climate
The document discusses how climate change is affecting the phenology of Arctic and Antarctic seabirds. It finds that seabird phenology is influenced by numerous variables, including species, location, sea ice extent, food supply, and temperature. Data presented shows that Emperor Penguin populations decline with decreased sea ice and warmer springs, while Snow Petrel populations increase with more sea ice. In the Arctic, Common Murre and Thick-billed Murre colonies do best with moderate sea surface temperature increases but are negatively impacted by extreme temperature changes. The conclusion is that while climate change is having adverse effects, more long-term research is needed to determine its full impacts due to high variability between species and locations.

- Lakes, rivers, wetlands and forests are part of the natural freshwater cycle. As populations increase, demand for water and energy is growing rapidly, creating challenges as freshwater is scarce in many regions.
- The article presents a study of net water evaporation from the Eastmain-1 Reservoir in Quebec, Canada, based on field measurements from 2008-2012. The study found that the reservoir's net evaporation is close to zero, meaning the reservoir does not significantly increase water loss through evaporation compared to pre-impoundment conditions.

The document discusses the threats posed by climate change to tropical forests and biodiversity. It notes that 20% of annual greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation. The warming climate has led to increased bark beetle outbreaks and range shifts of species. A CO2 target of 450ppm is considered too high and 350ppm is proposed as a safer level. Adaptation and limiting greenhouse gas concentrations through reducing emissions and deforestation are recommended approaches. Restoring ecosystems can help lower atmospheric CO2 levels.

This document discusses climate change and human impacts on the environment. It defines key terms like climate, weather, and greenhouse gases. It explains how the greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere and is impacted by carbon dioxide, methane and water vapor. It also discusses how climate naturally changes over time but that human activities like fossil fuel use, pollution, and ecosystem damage are exacerbating climate change. It provides examples of evidence for climate change through changing ice caps, storms, and plant/animal distributions. Finally, it briefly covers the concepts of biomagnification and invasive species introduction.

Photosynthetic rates of Camassia quamash under different burn regimes
1) The study examined the effect of varying burn regimes on the photosynthetic rates of Camassia quamash, a native prairie forb.
2) Productivity of C. quamash, as measured by photosynthetic rates, declined with increasing time since the last burn, with the highest rates found in plots burned in 2013.
3) Soil and foliar nitrogen levels did not significantly vary with burn regime. However, the 2013 burn plot, which had the highest photosynthetic rates, also had the highest percentages of nitrogen in the soil and foliage.
Hb2015 barner
This document summarizes Jerome Barner's master's thesis research comparing belowground carbon allocation in tree roots, microbes, and mycorrhizal fungi under different nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization treatments. The objectives are to determine how carbon allocation to fungal compartments responds to fertilization and how fertilization affects fungal species abundance and diversity. Methods include measuring fine root biomass, soil respiration, and sequencing fungal communities from ingrowth bags under nitrogen, phosphorus, and combined nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization at three forest sites. Expected results include decreased carbon allocation and fungal diversity under nitrogen and variable responses to phosphorus, with increased fine root biomass under both nutrients.

Big Springs Park
The document summarizes water quality testing done at Big Springs Park. It measured dissolved oxygen, air temperature, water temperature, and did a biological assessment of macroinvertebrates in both spring and fall. The results found that dissolved oxygen was lower in fall compared to spring due to higher water temperatures in fall. Biological findings also differed between seasons with more macroinvertebrates found in spring. Overall, the water quality was determined to be fair based on these assessments.

Hb2015 sadutto-calcium
Tyler Sadutto conducted a study to understand how the addition of CaSiO3 affects soil respiration. The objectives were to measure total soil respiration, fine root production, and microbial respiration in calcium and control plots. Total soil respiration was measured every two weeks using a LI-COR 8100 and soil collars. Fine root production was measured using root screens over three weeks. Microbial respiration was measured using a base trap method on soil samples from each plot. The expected results were a decrease in fine root production, microbial respiration, and overall total soil respiration with the addition of CaSiO3.
Adaptation Strategies for Fisheries Management in Northeastern Minnesota, USA
Adaptation Strategies for Fisheries Management in Northeastern Minnesota, USANorthern Institute of Applied Climate Science
This document discusses adaptation strategies for fisheries management in northeastern Minnesota in response to climate change impacts. It finds that winter is warming faster than summer in the region. Key data gaps are identified around temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles of trout lakes, fish barrier inventories, angling data, and long-term stream monitoring. Strategies developed include emphasizing sustainable forest management, natural channel design for restoration, riparian protection, invasive species monitoring, partnership development, and strategic fish barrier removal. Continuous monitoring is needed to detect changes in stream populations over time to inform adaptive management.Global warming
Global warming will worsen the problem of dead zones around the world according to a new study from the Smithsonian. The study looked at over 400 dead zones where low oxygen levels do not support life. Warming will hold less oxygen in waters and rising seas will destroy wetlands that filter nutrients causing dead zones. Shifting currents could resuscitate some areas with colder oxygen-rich waters. The researchers found over a dozen direct and indirect ways climate change will expand dead zones with economic and ecological risks.

The document discusses potential impacts of climate change on water resources in the Kunhar River Basin in Pakistan. It aims to develop a hydrological model to assess impacts of climate change on water resources in the basin under different climate change scenarios. The methodology involves using the HEC-HMS hydrological modeling system to simulate streamflow from 1961 to 2080. The results indicate increases in high flows and floods as well as decreases in low flows and droughts. There will also be greater variation in the timing and amounts of peak flows in the future.Invited scientific talk

Climate change impact on ocean forests and their biodiversity
Rising ocean temperatures due to climate change are negatively impacting ocean forests and their biodiversity in three main ways:
1. Ocean forests are being damaged by increased heat waves and are shifting poleward to cooler waters. This is leading to loss of habitat and declines in species abundance.
2. Genetic diversity of ocean forest species is threatened as climate change endangers glacial refugia that harbor much of their genetic variation. This reduces forests' ability to adapt and recover from stress.
3. Changes in species distributions are altering the composition of ocean forests. Warming is allowing tropical species to move poleward while decreasing the diversity of temperate algal turfs and replacing kelp forests with seaweed

This document models dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) loading from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Puget Sound under different effluent standards scenarios. It finds that reducing WWTP DIN effluent concentrations from 8 mg/L to below 3 mg/L could decrease nitrogen loading but at increased capital and operating costs of $248-513 million annually. The model has limitations as it does not capture time-varying or three-dimensional aspects but provides a starting point for further modeling of Puget Sound dissolved oxygen levels from human-caused nitrogen sources.
Climate Change and Citizen Science (West)
Observations by interested individuals help us better understand local impacts of climate change. Science researchers work with volunteers through citizen science projects to track changes in annual plant blooming, frog calling, bird ranges, and other natural phenomena. This version opens with an example from the Southwestern United States. A similar version is available highlighting the North East US .
Ecosystems
An ecosystem is defined as all the organisms in an area along with their nonliving environment. Energy flows through ecosystems in trophic levels, with primary producers like plants converting sunlight into chemical energy. Only about 10% of energy is transferred between each trophic level. Human impacts on ecosystems include increased eutrophication of lakes from pollution, acid rain from fossil fuel combustion, and rising CO2 levels causing the greenhouse effect.

SSI and risks of intensification: Case study on water quality in the Ethiopia...International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
This study evaluated the effect of intensification on water quality in the Ethiopian Highlands by comparing a more intensified area (Robit) to a less intensified area (Dangila). Nitrate and phosphorus levels in groundwater and streams were higher in the more intensified Robit area, especially during rainy seasons and fertilizer application periods. Pesticide levels also exceeded standards. The study recommends promoting intensification in suitable areas with watershed management and guidelines on agrochemical use to protect water quality and ecosystem health.Impact and responses phytoplankton on cc lastver
This document discusses the impacts of climate change on plankton. It begins by defining plankton and their important roles in the marine environment and food chain. Phytoplankton produce an estimated 90% of oxygen and are the base of the marine food web, supporting fisheries. However, increasing water temperatures affect phytoplankton growth rates and distributions. Analysis shows many tropical plankton strains may go extinct by 2100 if temperatures rise 2°C, though diversity may prevent species losses. Warmer oceans will increase plankton diversity at poles but decrease it at the equator.

Recovery of a Hypereutrophic Urban Lake (Onondaga Lake, NY): Implications fo...
Daniele Baker Master's Capstone November 15, 2013
Abstract: A 23-year record of limnological parameters for Onondaga Lake was used to evaluate changes during recovery from eutrophication. I (1) compared phytoplankton responses to total phosphorus (TP) in ecologically defined seasonal periods with those in a calendar date defined annual period, (2) ascertained whether chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration was a good proxy for phytoplankton biomass, and (3) assessed whether the phytoplankton assemblage was altered in response to the environmental remediation. Seasonal variations in the relationships between Chl-a and biomass to TP were common. Irregular temporal patterns in Chl-a per unit biomass were due to a shift from Chl-a deficient to Chl-a rich phytoplankton, not changes in light regime. The phytoplankton assemblage varied mostly as a function of changes in total nitrogen (TN), TP, and TN:TP ratios. Phytoplankton diversity did not increase, but phytoplankton bloom frequencies and cellular biovolumes decreased. Synurophyceae and Chrysophyceae, absent since the onset of eutrophication, reappeared in 1998.

1. The document analyzes environmental pollutants in Lake Nyamagoma in Tanzania using multivariate statistical analysis of water samples collected from 8 sites during the wet season.
2. The results show variation in pollutant levels controlled by factors like primary productivity, redox conditions, dissolution, nitrification, denitrification, mixing, and reduction processes, as well as human activities in the area.
3. Four factors were extracted from the analysis: 1) high turbidity and primary productivity, 2) cation exchange processes, 3) variation in pollutants by depth and nutrients from the catchment, and 4) reduction processes and increased salinity.
Seminar eco 2015
This document discusses the importance of freshwater ecosystems, concerns about impacts of climate change, and ways climate change may affect freshwater species and ecosystems. It notes that freshwater species are more vulnerable to changes from invasive species and land use than direct climate impacts. Key concerns include increased water temperatures, reduced ice cover and snowpack, altered stream flows, and increased water storage and transportation. These changes could facilitate invasions and displace native cold-water species. The document also reviews models used to study current and projected future river discharge and impacts on global fish species richness.

Interrelationship between nutrients and chlorophyll-a in an urban stormwater ...Journal of Contemporary Urban Affairs
This study investigated ecological processes in an urban stormwater lake during its ice-covered period from November to mid-April. Data from two winter seasons showed chlorophyll-a levels under ice were 22% of open-water levels, indicating primary productivity still occurs. Nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus were significantly higher under ice, likely from road and urban runoff. Under ice, total phosphorus levels correlated positively with chlorophyll-a when nutrient ratios were low, suggesting phosphorus controls algal growth. The results provide evidence of active nutrient cycles in stormwater lakes during winter, contrary to assumptions of dormancy under ice cover.copetti_carniato_2013
This document summarizes the results of modeling exercises that simulate the impact of climate change on two types of surface aquifers: lakes and rivers. For lakes, it focuses on the impact of global warming on the thermal structure of two Italian lakes, Lake Como and Lake Pusiano, using a hydrodynamic model. The model projects an increase in average yearly lake temperature of 0.04°C per year from 1970-2000 and 0.03°C per year from 2001-2050 according to IPCC climate change scenarios. These increases are expected to reduce mixing between lake layers and impact phytoplankton growth and cyanobacteria blooms. For rivers, it describes a methodology using models to estimate changes in nutrient loads in
Honors Biology - Ecosystems 1011
The document discusses primary productivity and factors that influence phytoplankton growth. It describes key types of phytoplankton like diatoms and dinoflagellates. It also discusses how light, nutrients, temperature influence the euphotic zone and photosynthesis at different ocean depths. Global and regional chlorophyll patterns are shown, with higher levels near coastal upwellings and river plumes. Issues facing the Florida Keys related to water diversion, pollution, and increased nutrient inputs are also summarized.
Changing Ocean, Marine Ecosystems, and Dependent Communities
The document discusses how the oceans are warming due to climate change, which is causing deoxygenation and changes to nutrient ratios that shape marine ecosystems. These changes impact fish stocks, fisheries revenue, and the nutrition and well-being of communities that depend on seafood. Pacific small island developing states are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change for their economies and reefs are at high risk in the western Pacific region. The outline presented at the end indicates the document will provide an executive summary and discuss changing oceans and biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, solutions and governance, and synthesize the information.
2009 assessment effects of cage culture on nitrogen
This document summarizes a study that investigated nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in relation to fallowing periods for a fish cage farm located in a shallow lake in China. The study analyzed total nitrogen and total phosphorus levels in lake water and sediment during two fish rearing cycles from 2000-2001. Key findings include:
1) Nutrient levels increased more during the first rearing cycle than the second.
2) Impacts were greatest near the cages (underneath and at cage sides), with higher sedimentation of nitrogen and phosphorus observed at cage sides.
3) After 3 months of fallowing, water nutrient levels decreased significantly but sediment nutrient levels remained high, indicating recovery occurs during fallowing
Aquatic protist communities in the midst of environmental change:
1) Small lakes formed by thawing permafrost are typically heterotrophic due to high organic inputs, however analyses of 18S rRNA and pigments show a diverse and active photosynthetic community in these lakes.
2) Milne Fiord Epishelf Lake in the Canadian Arctic, dominated by the green algae Carteria, is a unique high latitude system threatened with extinction as the unstable ice shelf holding back its waters breaks up.
3) Monitoring of the protist community in the northern Canada Basin from 2005-2014 shows that diversity was exceptionally low in 2012 when sea ice retreat passed 80°N, the aim is to determine which taxa are driving this change.
Multiple stress of eutrophication and climate change in lakes: projected ef...
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of nutrients in combination with climatic stressors on lakes in Northern Europe based on phytoplankton indicators, under current and future conditions. Eutrophication and climate change are considered an important stressor combination for lakes in most parts of the world. High concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) in combination with increased temperature tend to benefit growth of phytoplankton, and in particular cyanobacteria, which can result in harmful algal blooms. In this study, we used monitoring data from ca. 800 lakes in United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and Finland (in total ca. 2000 lake-years). The data were compiled during the past EU project WISER and are being modelled in the on-going EU project MARS (2014-2018).
The first step was to quantify the empirical relationships between phytoplankton indicators (cyanobacteria, biomass and the Phytoplankton Trophic Index), nutrients (primarily TP) and climatic variables (temperature, precipitation and wind) and other lake characteristics (including typology factors such as mean depth, surface area, altitude, alkalinity and humic level). A hierarchical regression model was used account for lake types and for repeated measurements from lakes (lake-years). Following the conceptual model DPSIR (driver-pressure-state-impact-response), we also attempted to link the nutrient concentrations to drivers (population density and land use) and pressures (nutrient loads).
The second step was to construct a parametric model constructed based on the quantified relationships. The purpose of this model was to predict the ecological status of the lakes based phytoplankton indicators under different future scenarios of climate and potentially land use. Preliminary assessment by this model has indicated the risk of cyanobacteria concentrations exceeding an acceptable limit increases with higher temperature but decreases slightly with more precipitation. In the current assessment, more realistic future scenarios will be applied for each individual lake. Here we use future projections for climate and land use for the years 2030 and 2060, which are generated on a 0.5 degrees grid for all of Europe. The projections are based on the 3 storylines defined by the MARS project ("Techno world", "Consensus world", "Fragmented world"), which combine different climatic and socio-economic scenarios.
Ecological Effects
The document discusses ecological and evolutionary responses to global warming and the resulting biodiversity crisis. It notes that all life on Earth exists within a single ecological system, and that changes in one location can affect the entire system. It then summarizes observed phenological changes, range shifts of species towards cooler climates, increases in invasive species, impacts on species interactions, and rising extinction rates. It concludes by recommending increased conservation efforts, education, and research to understand and address these issues.
Chapters 21 23 ecology
Temperature, moisture, length of photosynthetic period, and nutrient availability affect net primary productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Primary productivity is typically higher in coastal oceans due to nutrient inputs from land. Primary production fuels secondary production by consumers. There are two main food chains: grazing and detrital, with detrital dominating terrestrial ecosystems. Decomposition returns nutrients to the soil and is influenced by temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels. Biogeochemical cycles circulate essential elements through abiotic and biotic components, and nutrients can be lost through export, harvesting, and fire.
Gray Whales As Sentinels PowerPoint
The document discusses how climate change is affecting gray whales, including evidence that reductions in Arctic sea ice have allowed whales more access to winter feeding grounds and led to higher calf counts on migration routes, while warming ocean temperatures associated with phenomena like El Niño have caused changes in whales' occupancy of breeding lagoons and departure times. Gray whales serve as ecosystem sentinels that reflect environmental changes through adjustments to their migratory behaviors and distributions.

"Study and understand the present to explain the past"
ABSTRACT: Grab samples from Enol Lake (1080 m.a.s.l., Picos de Europa National Park, Spain) were collected to evaluate the chironomid community composition, structure and spatial and temporal variability. We obtained 3 replicate samples at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 m water depth four times per year (May, July, September and November) in two consecutive years (2013 and 2014), with a total of 120 samples analyzed. A total of 19 taxa were identified, although the dominant taxa in all samples were Paratanytarsus, Chironomus, Tanytarsus and Procladius choreus. Chironomusand Stictochironomus taxa abundance increased with depth while the more abundant taxa in the littoral were Paratanytarsus,Endochironomus and Corynoneura. Seasonal changes concern many chironomid taxa, although it is more relevant in the case ofCorynoneura, Tanytarsus and Procladius. Spatial changes are mostly related to the presence of macrophytes and algae, especially Chara, as chironomid composition and abundance are very different in samples from macrophyte-rich and poor areas.

Study of Seasonal Variations in Oxygen Consumption of Estuarine Clam, Meretri...
The estuarine clam, Meretrix meretrix was exposed to predetermined seasonal sublethal and lethal concentrations of CdCl2, 2½ H2O for 96 hrs. Experiments were conducted during summer, monsoon and winter by keeping control group of clams. Estuarine water parameters like temperature, pH, salinity, rainfall and dissolved oxygen were recorded. In the present study, it is found that, it has significant influence on rate of oxygen consumption and toxicity of cadmium chloride. During summer, clams from LC0 and LC50 group were treated with 1.1ppm and 1.8 ppm respectively. During monsoon LC0 and LC50 group were treated with 1.6 ppm and 2.0 ppm respectively. During winter clams from LC0 and LC50 group were exposed to 1.4 ppm and 2.1 ppm cadmium chloride respectively. During summer, as compared to control group, there were 3.83, 17.04, 16.77 and 10.63 increase in oxygen uptake at the end of 24, 36, 48, and 60 hrs. There were 0.35, 4.97 and 21.75 decrease at the end of 48, 72, 84 and 96 hrs. Moreover, similar trend of oxygen consumption was observed in LC0 and LC50 .group of clams in winter and monsoon season. During monsoon and winter clams from control group showed similar trend of oxygen uptake with less significant fluctuations. Clams from control group and LC0 and LC50 group showed less oxygen consumption during monsoon than summer and winter.

Lewis Smith Comps Fall 2015
This document summarizes how riparian vegetation succession acts as a positive feedback loop to climate change. Increased flooding and drought caused by climate change can shift riparian plant communities towards less flood-stabilizing species, exacerbating floods. Models show vegetation changes may sequester less carbon over time. Computer models simulate how site features interact with flow regimes to influence successional phases under climate change scenarios. Overall, the feedback between vegetation shifts and climate change creates uncertainty about future riparian ecosystem responses.

This document examines the relationship between nitrogen concentration, light levels, and the habitat quality and survival of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in estuaries in southeastern Massachusetts. Seventy sites across 19 estuaries were studied over 4 growing seasons to analyze how varying levels of nitrogen and light affected the stability of existing eelgrass beds and the survival of transplanted eelgrass. The study found that eelgrass habitat quality and transplant survival were positively correlated with higher light levels and water transparency. Areas with the lowest light levels coincided with sites that had previously lost eelgrass coverage. Increases in total nitrogen levels led to decreased bottom light through increased phytoplankton biomass and particulates

impactos del cambio climatico en ecosistemas costeros
Anthropogenically induced global climate change has profound implications for marine
ecosystems and the economic and social systems that depend upon them. The
relationship between temperature and individual performance is reasonably well
understood, and much climate-related research has focused on potential shifts in
distribution and abundance driven directly by temperature. However, recent work has
revealed that both abiotic changes and biological responses in the ocean will be
substantially more complex. For example, changes in ocean chemistry may be more
important than changes in temperature for the performance and survival of many
organisms. Ocean circulation, which drives larval transport, will also change, with
important consequences for population dynamics. Furthermore, climatic impacts on one
or a few leverage species may result in sweeping community-level changes. Finally,
synergistic effects between climate and other anthropogenic variables, particularly fishing
pressure, will likely exacerbate climate-induced changes. Efforts to manage and conserve
living marine systems in the face of climate change will require improvements to the
existing predictive framework. Key directions for future research include identifying key
demographic transitions that influence population dynamics, predicting changes in the
community-level impacts of ecologically dominant species, incorporating populations
ability to evolve (adapt), and understanding the scales over which climate will change and
living systems will respond.

Welland sea trout project update Jan 2018
The Welland Sea Trout Project aims to restore the sea trout run between the Wash, Stamford, and the River Gwash via the Maxey Cut flood relief channel. The project has removed barriers to fish movement, managed and enhanced habitat, and tackled water quality and quantity issues. Monitoring indicates the sea trout run has been restored, as stable isotope analysis of trout scales has shown some trout have spent time in salt water. Future projects continue work on the Maxey Cut and River Gwash to further improve habitat and fish passage.
Stocking feature
The document discusses the Environment Agency's policies for stocking trout, grayling, and coarse fish. The main difference between policies for coarse fish versus salmonids is that trout populations evolved in isolation after the last ice age and developed unique genetic traits, while coarse fish evolved into distinct species. Stocking farmed trout risks losing their survival traits, so policies allow only sterile triploid trout. In contrast, coarse fish like bream and dace sorted into species with different habitat preferences, so fertile fish can be stocked. Grayling policies also aim to maintain distinct river basin strains. Stocking is one fishery management tool used to ensure sustainable fisheries now and in the future.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

- 15. • Historically eutrophication has been the major stressor on Windermere • Currently climate change is altering niches and creating both top-down and bottom-up effects in the lake • Warming water has ‘echoed through the ecosystem’ increasing the niche for roach with knock-on effects at different levels in the food web • Climate change is a global phenomenon and so cannot be managed locally. Further nutrient reduction may ameliorate some of the effects of climate change but species at the southern-end of their geographic range are likely to be lost and species at the northern-end will become more abundant. • There are likely to be ecological surprises as the complex interactions between the external environment and different components of the lake unfold.
