US agricultural GHG emissions: challenges and opportunities for mitigating pl...Joanna Hicks
US agricultural GHG emissions can be reduced through improved fertilizer management and conservation practices, though achieving absolute reductions while increasing yields is challenging. Process-based models are better at large scales but have high uncertainty at the whole-farm level. Stabilizing nitrogen sources may reduce emissions while maintaining production, but observations are needed to verify impacts at larger scales given uncertainties. Continued efficiency gains may not decrease absolute emissions due to potential rebound effects like Jevon's Paradox. Carefully defined goals and incentives are needed to balance production and emission reductions.

The goals are to develop resilience strategies, build global action on resilience, and expand the network. City projects focus on current and future climate impacts and include strengthening disease surveillance in Indore, India, groundwater conservation in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, and establishing climate coordination offices in three cities in Vietnam. The projects aim to build adaptive capacity and resilience for vulnerable populations.
The document outlines steps for storyboarding an informational presentation using index cards or a whiteboard. It involves defining a premise, organizing the presentation into 3 acts or chapters with main ideas, collecting supporting graphics and facts, arranging the elements onto the storyboard, and revising the flow and content. The storyboarding process helps to visually plan how information will be presented sequentially to address a problem or question.
The document outlines steps for creating continuum diagrams and matrices in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. It discusses creating a continuum diagram to evaluate ground floor transparency and a matrix to evaluate how activities contribute to health infrastructure. The steps include adding images, adjusting anchors, adding labels, filling cells, and modifying styles. The document is intended to demonstrate creating visual information graphics.
This document discusses visual reasoning and the cognitive style of PowerPoint presentations. It notes that visual reasoning works best when information is shown adjacent in space rather than stacked over time, allowing for easier comparisons. The document also states that PowerPoint presentations tend to reinforce hierarchical structures and biases due to their arrangement of information. Finally, it suggests that presentations would be better served by following principles of good teaching, such as explanation, reasoning, and providing audiences control over the order and pace of information.
The document discusses several basic principles of graphic design including layers, hierarchy, color, scale, repetition, balance, grids, and typography. It provides examples to illustrate how these principles can be applied, such as using color hue, line weight, and font size to create a visual hierarchy or scaling fonts to draw attention to important numbers. Repetition is also discussed as a way to hold elements together and communicate a narrative, with examples showing small multiples and repetition to enable comparisons.
This document provides steps for creating various types of charts, graphs, and icons using Adobe Illustrator. It outlines 15 steps for creating a pie chart with population data, 11 steps for creating a bar graph showing census data by zone, and 15 steps for creating icons by tracing photographs, converting fonts, or downloading icons under Creative Commons. The overall document demonstrates different methods for visualizing data and creating vector icons in Illustrator.
Arms deliveries to developing countries in 2011 totaled $28 billion, the highest level since 2004. The United States and Russia accounted for around two-thirds of these deliveries. Saudi Arabia was the largest buyer in the developing world with $2.8 billion in arms purchases, while India purchased $2.7 billion, mostly from Russia.
The document provides instructions for using the American FactFinder tool on the U.S. Census Bureau website to find and download population data for New York City, Brooklyn Community District 1, and individual census tracts within the community district. It demonstrates selecting geographic filters and topics, viewing available data sets, searching for and downloading total population data, and cleaning up the downloaded files. The steps are demonstrated at three geographic scales: city, community district, and census tract.
