The document discusses microclimates and how they are affected by local terrain and buildings. It defines a microclimate as a local atmospheric zone where the climate differs from the surrounding area, and can be created by factors like bodies of water, urban areas, slopes, and vegetation. Buildings also impact microclimates by changing wind flow and creating shade or heat islands. Design can improve microclimates by reducing heating/cooling costs, maximizing outdoor comfort year-round, and improving material durability. Several cities known for variations in microclimate over short distances due to their topography are also mentioned.
The document discusses the carbon cycle and how carbon is distributed through the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere over different time periods in Earth's history. It analyzes the movement of carbon molecules through each sphere during the Holocene, Permian, and Devonian periods, and whether carbon was evenly distributed between spheres or became trapped in certain spheres like the geosphere. The document aims to understand how the carbon cycle has changed over geological time.

The document discusses various factors that influence climate change, including the sun's output, Earth's orbit, volcanic eruptions, drifting continents, and greenhouse gases. It notes that while the sun's output increased temperatures slightly in the early 20th century, measurements from space since 1979 show no long-term change in total solar energy despite ongoing warming of Earth. Greenhouse gases are identified as the primary driver of current climate change due to human activities like burning fossil fuels.
Microclimates are local weather patterns that can differ from the overall climate of an area due to factors like altitude, exposure, shelter, vegetation, urban development, and proximity to water or coasts. Urban microclimates are affected by concrete, tarmac, tall buildings, and industry which can raise temperatures. Coastal microclimates see a breeze from the cooler sea move inland in summer to fill the low pressure area caused by warmer land temperatures rising. Forest microclimates are typically warmer at edges but colder and less windy deeper in due to shelter from trees.
Lesson 4: Micro-Climate of an Urban AreaTyler Tonna
This document discusses microclimates and how urban areas can create their own unique climates. It explains that urban heat islands form as man-made structures and activities in cities cause the area to retain more heat than surrounding rural regions. The main factors that contribute to urban heat islands are pollution, the heat absorbing/reflecting properties of building materials, and excess heat from energy usage. As a result, cities typically have warmer temperatures, especially at night, and can experience more extreme heat during heat waves.
The carbon cycle is a complex series of processes through which carbon atoms are recycled and reused. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and animals release carbon dioxide through respiration, allowing carbon to be reused. The carbon cycle is essential for producing food and renewable resources through photosynthesis and decomposition, and serves as the earth's waste disposal system through decomposition. It also affects the climate as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes warming.
A microclimate is a local climate that differs from the area around it. Several factors can impact microclimates, including vegetation like hedges and trees, physical features such as bodies of water, the aspect or direction a surface faces, and human-made structures. These factors can cause areas to be warmer or cooler through mechanisms like shading, wind blocking, and heat absorption and reflection.

These factors can cause areas to be warmer or cooler through mechanisms like shading, wind blocking, and heat absorption and reflection.
1) Carbon cycles through both living and non-living components of the environment through various processes.
2) Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases it back.
3) Carbon is also stored long-term in fossil fuels through the fossilization of ancient plants and animals, and released through their combustion.
1) The macro climate refers to the broader climate of a large area like a region, while the micro climate refers to localized climate variations around a building.
2) Factors like solar access, wind control, surrounding vegetation and landscaping can influence the micro climate and affect the building's energy and environmental performance.
3) Urban areas can experience deviations from the macro climate due to factors like increased absorbance from buildings and pavements, shadows cast by buildings, and pollution from vehicles, leading to higher temperatures, lower humidity, and reduced wind speeds within cities.
Carbon is an essential element that cycles between the atmosphere, ocean, organisms, and geologic reservoirs as part of the carbon cycle. Photosynthesis incorporates carbon from the air and water into organic compounds, while respiration and decomposition release it back. Fossil fuels like coal and oil were formed from ancient plant and algae remains over millions of years. Burning fossil fuels returns carbon to the air, and limestone erosion also adds carbon back to the cycle through weathering. The carbon cycle continuously moves carbon between the biosphere and geosphere.
The document discusses the ozone layer and the factors contributing to its depletion. It notes that the ozone layer shields the Earth from UV radiation and was discovered to be depleting in the 1970s due to ozone-depleting substances (ODS) released into the atmosphere. The main ODS that damage the ozone layer are listed. The text then outlines the principal steps in how ODS reach the stratosphere and cause ozone depletion, as well as the human health and environmental effects of increased UV exposure due to ozone layer thinning. International agreements like the Montreal Protocol and domestic policies in countries like the Philippines are mentioned as mitigation efforts to prevent further ozone depletion.
Carbon is an element that is the basic building block of living things like humans, animals and plants. It is also found in rocks, oceans, and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon between the earth and atmosphere, as carbon is recycled through plants, animals, and the environment over time. Humans impact the carbon cycle through burning fossil fuels, which releases stored carbon and increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. To reduce this impact, people can burn less fossil fuels and promote plant growth that absorbs carbon dioxide.
Carbon cycles between the earth and atmosphere in a repeating process. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis, and animals release carbon back to the air when they exhale or when dead plants and animals decompose. Some carbon becomes trapped underground in deposits like oil and coal, and is slowly released back into the atmosphere over long periods of time. Human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect and global warming.
The document summarizes information about the ozone layer and its depletion. It discusses how the ozone layer protects the Earth from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It then explains how chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were depleting the ozone layer when they were released into the atmosphere. CFCs break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. The document also outlines observations that show the ozone layer depletion peaked around 2010 and is expected to fully recover by 2065 as CFC use has been restricted by the Montreal Protocol.

The ozone layer absorbs most UV radiation from the sun. It contains high concentrations of ozone and is mainly located in the lower stratosphere. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halogenated compounds released by human activities are the primary cause of ozone depletion by destroying ozone molecules. This has led to a 4% decline in ozone per decade and the formation of an ozone hole over Antarctica. Increased UV radiation due to ozone depletion poses risks to human health, animals, and crop production. The Montreal Protocol was adopted in 1987 to phase out ozone depleting substances to protect the ozone layer.

Funky Asia - Space Projects Ltd – September 2011
Space Projects - Bar and Restaurant Design Philosophy
The interior of Funky Asia has been conceived to impart a sense of a cool multi-cultural, metropolitan life-style. Urban tough finishes such as steel cladding and scaffold plank flooring are softened with subtle lighting and re-claimed furniture. The design is an eclectic collection of references from the past combined with contemporary styling cues. The overall effect is to provide a comforting sense of the familiar, elements of shabby chic, within an authoritative and exciting hard urban shell.
The entrance to Funky Asia is dominated by a welcoming bar and waiting area. This is a place for diners to congregate and ‘de-compress’ before moving into the upper or lower restaurant.
The ground-floor links with the basement via a generously proportioned industrial stair above which hangs a playful, multi-coloured lighting feature.
Dining booths within the basement level offer patrons an intimate and secluded dining environment.
Other areas are fitted with areas of flexible seating to comfortably accommodate larger or smaller groups of diners.
