Water Works: A future destination park on the Mississippi River's only true w...Minneapolis Parks Foundation
For 12,000 years, the Mississippi River has powered through Minnesota, where it’s scrawled a deep gorge like a signature through limestone and prairie. The source of this massive geological imprint was the River’s only true waterfall, now known as St. Anthony Falls, which receded over millennia and now graces the heart of Minneapolis. It is this unique geography, geology and history that inspired a schematic vision for a new destination park on the West Bank of St. Anthony Falls, developed by the Minneapolis Parks Foundation in partnership with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, and conveyed to Park Board Commissioners on Wednesday, October 22, in the form of a design presentation and 3D flythrough animation.Use of remote sensing for land cover monitoring servir science applications

This document discusses how scenario-based studies can complement military planning processes by providing context for discussions among leaders and regional stakeholders. It describes the scenario planning process, which identifies critical uncertainties, develops alternative futures or "storylines", assesses impacts, and leads to more robust plans. As an example, the document summarizes a scenario study conducted for Camp Pendleton and MCAS Miramar to inform planning regarding issues like habitat, flooding, water resources, and compatible development. It concludes that scenario-based studies enhance collaboration and integrated planning by evaluating alternative regional futures in a similar way to the military's process of intelligence preparation of the battlefield.

Forth energy 2nd exhibition banners
The document summarizes questions raised at a previous public exhibition about a proposed renewable energy plant in Leith, Scotland. It addresses concerns about air quality, noise levels, fuel supply, jobs and benefits. Key points include:
- The plant will be designed to not significantly impact local air quality or noise levels. Emissions will meet strict regulations.
- Fuel will predominantly be imported wood chips and pellets but some UK-sourced fuel may be used in future. Life-cycle carbon emissions are estimated to be 89% lower than a coal plant.
- The plant would create 300-500 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs, benefiting the local economy. Heat could also be supplied locally.
Banner 3
Forth Energy is proposing to develop renewable energy plants in Scotland that would convert biomass into energy through a multi-step process. The biomass fuel would be obtained from sustainably harvested timber, transported by sea, and stored at port facilities. This fuel would then be converted into renewable electricity and heat through a process involving boilers, turbines, and carefully controlled emissions systems. Forth Energy is conducting an environmental impact assessment to identify and mitigate any significant environmental impacts, and is consulting with local councils, environmental agencies, and interest groups to gather input on the proposed plants.
