The North Texas Commission and the Clean Air Texas Initiative presented the first in a series of Topic: North Texas Webinars about our region's air quality with Dr. Tonya McDonald of Children's Medical Center. Currently, ozone levels in North Texas are too high to pass standards set in the Clean Air Act, placing the region at risk of increased government regulation and the loss of federal highway funding. Throughout the spring and summer, we will host a series of webinars about various air quality topics.
Dr. McDonald, a Harvard Medical School graduate, will present on the relationship between ozone pollution and public health, including ozone's impact on asthma. Her interest in the environment’s impact on asthmatics was born after observing the effects of air quality on patients exposed to both cement plant pollution and seasonal pollens from area farms while caring for the children of services members in Heidelberg, Germany. Her presentation will shed light on how ozone pollution impacts the health of our region's residents.
Summary Presentation for World on the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and ...Earth Policy Institute
At the Earth Policy Institute, we watch a number of indicators, including global food prices, hunger rates, and the number of failing states around the world, to get a sense of how close to the edge our civilization might be. This slideshow presentation, based on Lester Brown’s latest book, World on the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse, explains the threats facing our civilization and how we got to this point. It also presents a plan for how to get out of this dangerous situation and highlights the progress being made.

A “drought” is an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical multi-year average for a region. But because of the various ways it is measured, an objective drought definition has yet to be produced upon which everyone can agree.
The four types are: meteorological (lack of precipitation), agricultural, (lack of moisture in the soil where crops grow), hydrological (low levels of water in lakes and reservoirs), and socioeconomic (water shortages in drinking and running water).
Only .003% of water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption. Save water by challenging friends to only use 13 gallons of water in a day. (It’s harder than it sounds!) Sign up for 13 Gallon Challenge.
Meteorologists predict drought based on precipitation patterns, stream flow, and moisture of soil over long periods of time.
In the United States, droughts are most likely to occur in the Midwest and the South.

The aim of this study is to showcase and discuss these new technologies for hydrometeorological studies. Six of NASA’s web-repositories that can be used to freely download and
visualise such spatial and/or time-series factors are listed and explained with examples for Ireland: ways
to access hydrological, meteorological, soil, vegetation and socio-economic data are shown, and
estimations of various precipitations statistics, anomalies, and water balance are presented for monthly
and seasonal analyses. The advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the satellite datasets are
discussed to provide useful recommendations about their proper use, based on purpose, scale, precision,
time requirement, and modelling-expansion criteria.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. MOSAICC: Modelling System for
Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change
• Need for a tool to facilitate the user experience
by simplifying data processing and simulation
runs
• Transferable, adaptable (capacity development)
• At no cost (freeware)
3. Capacity development tool
• By national experts (ministries, universities,
research institutions)
• Using the country’s own data
• For assessing medium- to long-term climate
change impacts on agriculture
• To aid climate change adaptation planning
4. Multi-disciplinary assessments
Downscaled climate
projections under
various climate
scenarios
Crop yield
projections
under climate
scenarios
Simulation of the
country’s hydrology
and estimation of
water resources
Economic impact
and analysis of
policy response at
national level
Forest
productivity
changes under
climate scenarios
Robustness rather than sophistication (minimum input
data required, simple), flexibility, wide application, open
source
5. • Different needs
of climate data
among modelers
– Hydrology – on
small grids down to
1km, monthly
– Crop – at station or
on grid or by
province, 10-daily
– Economics – by
province, annual
Integration
• Server
• Spatial database
• Web interface
6. Statistical downscaling
of climate projections to station level
For the historical period, establish a statistical relationship
between station obs and large-scale climate (from reanalysis)
-> Apply the statistical model with GCM projections as inputs to
derive future climate at station level, daily scale

20. DCGE
• Dynamic Computable General
Equilibrium model, developed by
IVM, Free University of Amsterdam
• Model the future evolution of the
national economy of a country and
the changes induced by variations
of crop yields under climate
change scenarios.
• Generic, adaptable to local
conditions (production factors,
activities, commodities, consumer
types etc) according to the data
availability
• Requires the assemblage of a social
accounting matrix (SAM)
21. Application of MOSAICC
• Results from MOSAICC form a solid evidence-base
about projected impacts of climate change for
national climate change adaptation planning
– Which regions are more affected than other regions
• by temperature increase or precipitation increase/decrease?
• by crop/forest productivity changes?
• by river flow changes, and irrigation potential?
• Best suited for sub-national scale assessment and
national aggregation. Not for exploring best
adaptation options at local scale, but for identifying
areas/crops/basins that require adaptation
intervention
22. Advantages
• Participatory approach - facilitate
a collaborative environment for
inter disciplinary study
• Nothing to install (web browser)
• Remote access
• Easy data exchange
• Low computing time
• No data format or unit conversion
• Data tracking down the flow
23. Distribution
• Delivered to technical institutions
through:
– Constitution of a working group
– Trainings
– Support to carry out an integrated
impact study
• As a component of a project, or on
its own
24. Implementation of MOSAICC
• EU/FAO programme and TCP in Morocco – all
modules
• AMICAF project in the Philippines, Peru
• AMICAF-SSC in Indonesia, Paraguay – except
for economy module
• CSA and NAP projects in Malawi, Zambia –
