Davos Presentation_Ecosystems and Natural Resources
This document discusses the impacts of disasters on ecosystems and natural resources. It notes that humans are affected by disasters through their relationship with ecosystems, for example through fisheries, agriculture and tourism. Both direct and indirect long-lasting impacts on ecosystems are often underestimated, while disaster recovery and policies can inadvertently make communities more vulnerable over the long term. Science can help understand these risks and hidden impacts, while emergency responders can benefit from scientific approaches highlighting these issues. The document calls for better integration of science and disaster risk reduction approaches to protect vulnerable ecosystems, natural resources and communities.
Sandy beach ecosystem.ppt
Sandy beaches are dynamic ecosystems that serve as a buffer between land and sea. They are home to a variety of organisms adapted to changing environmental conditions. Sandy beaches are composed of particles such as quartz and carbonate sands that are transported by water. Beaches support a high density of microorganisms, meiofauna, and macrofauna adapted to periodic submersion and exposure. However, human activities like recreation, pollution, and mining threaten sandy beach ecosystems around the world.
Energy flow and conservation of resources
Forests are essential for maintaining ecological balance by preventing soil erosion, landslides and air pollution, and attracting rainfall. They also help control noise pollution and keep seasonal cycles favorable. To conserve forests, cutting down trees must be banned and deforestation not allowed. Several international organizations like IUCN, WWF, UNEP, and WCS have taken steps to protect forests from depletion. Oceans cover 70% of the earth's crust and provide resources like algae, animals, plants and minerals for humans. Conservation of oceans requires limiting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming.
Assessing damage and loss in fisheries and aquaculture
This presentation discusses the impacts of disasters on fisheries and aquaculture (F&A). It explores the specific characteristics of F&A, sources of baseline data, and how different types of disasters can affect F&A differently. Some methodologies for assessing disasters capture F&A better than others. Stressors like climate change also impact F&A through changes in oceans, fish distribution and abundance. The presentation concludes that an information system on disasters and losses needs minimum core variables and engagement to improve F&A data, as methodologies are still being developed to fully assess impacts on F&A.
Water and soil pollution.pptx
Water pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate water bodies directly or indirectly. Various human activities like industries, agriculture, mining, wetland destruction and deforestation can pollute water. Industries release waste that affects water quality, while agriculture increases soil erosion, nutrients and pesticide use. Mining increases minerals and affects pH and clarity. Wetland destruction removes natural filters, and deforestation increases soil erosion, nutrients and disease risk. Accidental pollution from spills can also damage water. Soil pollution reduces soil quality, increases health risks, and contaminates water sources through runoff. It harms soil ecosystems. Various agencies work to prevent water and soil pollution and provide information.
Biodiversity and evolution
The document discusses biodiversity and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It describes the nine categories of species classifications in the Red List, ranging from extinct to least concern. Major causes of extinction are then outlined, including climate change, habitat loss, pollution, and wildlife trade, which can be natural factors or due to human activity. Steps to prevent further extinction and preserve biodiversity are proposed, such as reducing waste, supporting organic farming, and minimizing plastic use.

Protecting the marine environment
The document discusses the marine environment, which covers over 70% of the planet and contains 97% of the earth's water. It notes that marine ecosystems hold 80% of all life on the planet and lists species diversity in the Philippines, including over 800 coral species. The marine environment is important for producing oxygen, moderating climate, and providing food and livelihoods. However, it faces threats such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change, negatively impacting species like turtles, sharks, and seahorses. The document encourages learning about and protecting the ocean.
Oceans are at risk
Oceans are at risk due to threats like overfishing, pollution, climate change, and plastic debris. These threats endanger many ocean species such as marine turtles, dolphins, seahorses, sharks, monk seals, and whales. Unless action is taken to protect endangered marine species, many may not survive for future generations.
Shark conservation and management.ppt
Sharks play an important role in marine ecosystems but many species are threatened by overfishing. India is one of the largest shark fishing nations. Several shark species are classified as vulnerable or endangered by the IUCN due to overfishing for their fins and meat. International organizations like FAO and CITES aim to improve shark conservation and management. The NPOA-Sharks outlines India's strategy, which includes protecting habitats and species while ensuring sustainable fishing. More efforts are still needed for population recovery and trade regulation.
Chapter 22 Our Impact on the Ecosystem Lesson 1 - Deforestation_Overfishing
Human activities like agriculture, industry, and fishing can negatively impact ecosystems. Deforestation causes soil erosion, flooding, desertification, and climate change by removing trees that stabilize soil and regulate water cycles. Over-fishing depletes fish populations and destroys habitats by using unsustainable and destructive practices like trawling and dredging that indiscriminately catch other species and damage seabeds. Conservation efforts are needed to protect natural resources and environmental balance.
Dr Simon Ingram, University of Plymouth - Protecting marine mammals in coasta...
This document discusses protecting coastal marine mammals from various threats. It outlines that coastal marine mammals face risks from both land-based and marine-based human activities. Several species are found in coastal waters, including grey seals, common seals, harbour porpoises, and bottlenose dolphins. These species face cumulative impacts from factors like fisheries depletion, noise pollution, and contaminants. Static marine protected areas alone may not adequately protect highly mobile species like bottlenose dolphins that experience seasonal shifts in habitat use. The document advocates for more flexible, threat-based ecosystem management approaches.

This document discusses the risks and vulnerabilities of fisheries and aquaculture to climate change, and ways to build resilience. Over 500 million livelihoods depend on fisheries and aquatic foods provide nutrition for 4 billion people. Climate change is causing impacts like changes in ocean currents and acidification that affect production, ecology, and communities. Examples of adaptation include diversifying livelihoods, flexible management policies, and risk reduction. Mitigation opportunities include carbon storage in oceans, renewable energy from oceans, and reducing emissions from aquatic food systems and transport. The document provides an overview of climate impacts and outlines both adaptation and mitigation approaches for building resilience in fisheries and aquaculture.
Threats to marine biodiversity
There are several major threats to marine biodiversity according to the document. These include overexploitation of marine resources through overfishing and recreational fishing, pollution from various sources, habitat destruction through activities like coastal development, and the introduction of invasive species. Climate change is also a growing threat as it can cause rising water temperatures, acidification, and sea level rise. If left unaddressed, these threats will have severe economic, social, and environmental consequences.
Marine pollution tam 2013-18
The document discusses various types and sources of marine pollution including land-based sources such as untreated sewage and heavy metals from mining; ocean-based sources such as oil spills, ship waste dumping, and overfishing; and airborne sources such as plastic waste and carbon dioxide emissions. It describes the impacts of pollution such as harm to wildlife from ingestion/entanglement, hypoxia from nutrient runoff, and ocean acidification from rising carbon levels. Solutions mentioned include prevention through education and attitude changes, as well as costly cleanup efforts, but prevention is emphasized as damage may be irreversible.

This document provides information about the Centre for Marine Science and Technology at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. It introduces Dr. T. Citarasu and describes some of the research areas at the Centre, including herbal drug development, vaccine development, drug discovery, and trends in marine biotechnology. It then focuses on the topic of marine bio prospecting, explaining what it is, techniques for isolating marine organisms, and examples of pharmacologically important compounds that have been discovered from molluscs, sponges, cnidarians, ascidians, and other marine sources.
Algal bloom
This document provides an overview of algal blooms, also known as harmful algal blooms (HABs). It defines an algal bloom as a rapid increase in algae population in aquatic systems. HABs can be toxic and negatively impact aquatic organisms. The document notes that HABs have increased 15% in Indian seas over 12 years, with 80 recorded between 1998-2010. Factors contributing to HABs include excess nutrients from fertilizer and changes in climate and ecosystems. The document also lists examples of HAB species, their harmful effects, and control methods.
Human impact on ecosystem
Human activities are negatively impacting ecosystems in several key ways:
- Pollution from nutrient runoff, sewage, oil spills, and thermal pollution are causing eutrophication and lowering oxygen levels in water;
- Overfishing and destructive fishing practices like poisoning and explosives are depleting fish stocks and destroying habitats;
- Global warming from greenhouse gas emissions is raising ocean temperatures and causing acidification, damaging coral reefs and marine life.
- If left unaddressed, these human impacts will continue degrading ecosystems and compromising their ability to support life.
7th Grade Chapter 1 Lesson 2 pgs. 9-14
The document discusses the key components of soil and the environment. It explains that soil is made up of minerals and organic material, and the organic material is formed through decomposition of once living organisms. Soil contains layers including topsoil, subsoil, and bedrock below. Weathering, both physical and chemical, breaks down rocks into smaller minerals and fragments that become part of the soil.
Eutrophicationakthabroshan
The document defines eutrophication as the process where a body of water becomes enriched with nutrients, stimulating excessive plant growth and reducing dissolved oxygen. It is caused by excess nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon entering water bodies from sources like agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage. This causes algal blooms and hypoxic conditions harmful to aquatic life. Eutrophication can be natural, occurring over hundreds of years, or cultural/anthropogenic, accelerated by human activities over decades. The trophic status of a lake is determined by nutrient levels and can range from ultra-oligotrophic to hypereutrophic.

Climate Change, Fisherfolks, and the Coastal Community
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on coastal communities and fisheries in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines has extensive coastlines and coastal populations that are highly dependent on marine fisheries for food and livelihood. Climate change is expected to negatively impact coral reefs, fisheries, and coastal resources through rising sea levels, increased temperatures, and more extreme weather. This will threaten food security and biodiversity in the Philippines. The document also discusses observed shifts in species ranges and abundances due to ocean warming globally.

Impacts of Climate Change in Coastal Aquaculture in Bangladesh
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. Climate change may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as "global warming" or "anthropogenic global warming”. Climate change has both direct and indirect impacts on fish stocks which are exploited commercially. Direct effects act on physiology and behavior and alter growth, reproductive capacity, mortality and distribution. Indirect effects alter the productivity, structure and composition of the marine ecosystems on which fish depend for food. However, even though the year-on-year rate of anthropogenic climate change may seem slow, this is very rapid compared with previous natural change and the accumulative value produces a significant difference from the "natural" state quite quickly. Climate change impacts such as more frequent and severe floods and droughts will affect the food and water security of many people.
Bangladesh is thought to be one of the most vulnerable countries of the world to climate change and sea level rise (CCSLR). IPCC estimates predict that due to the impact of climate change, sea level in Bangladesh may rise by 14 cm by 2025, 32cm by 2050 and 88 cm by 2100. There are a number of environmental issues and problems that are hindering development of Bangladesh. Salinity is a current problem, which is expected to exacerbate by climate change and sea level rise. Salinity intrusion due to reduction of freshwater flow from upstream, salinization of groundwater and fluctuation of soil salinity are major concern of Bangladesh. Cyclones and tidal surge is adding to the problem. Tidal surge brings in saline water inside the polders in the coastal area. Due to drainage congestion, the area remains waterlogged, increasing the salinity (Abedin, 2010).
Bangladesh in general is highly vulnerable to predicted climate changes that are already occurring and are expected to continue over the next century. Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable to the impact of global warming and climate change.
Water and Marine Pollution
The document discusses marine pollution and water pollution. It defines pollution and lists its main types. Marine pollution is introduced as the introduction of harmful substances into marine environments. Major causes of marine pollution include maritime transportation, agricultural runoff, sewage, industrial waste, and oil spills. Water pollution is defined as the contamination of water bodies from direct or indirect discharge of pollutants without treatment. Key causes of water pollution listed are marine dumping, industrial waste, sewage, and oil pollution. The document outlines sources, effects and controls for both marine and water pollution.
enviroment problem
Major environmental problems discussed in the document include pollution, hazardous chemicals and wastes, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, ozone depletion, climate change, and loss of natural and cultural resources. The document outlines the causes and impacts of these problems, as well as responses at national and international levels. National courts and tribunals play a key role in applying environmental law to address issues caused by national activities that have impacts domestically and globally. International cooperation, legislation, and financing support national efforts toward remediation.
Cascade UX Day SF 2013
The document discusses rapid UX design and prototyping techniques. It recommends using low-fidelity paper prototypes for quick iteration and participatory design. Digital tools and open platforms allow for cross-device prototyping and testing partial functionality with customers to gain insights. The goal is to enable nimble teams to adapt quickly based on empirical learning.
Natural or Not?
This document discusses the challenges in distinguishing natural rock formations from carved rock art. It notes that experience helps in identification, but bias could still influence perceptions. Multiple factors must be considered, including weathering, geology, tools used, and archaeological context. While some features like peck marks indicate carving, absence of marks does not prove something is natural. Size, shape, depth, and symmetrical profiles provide clues, but many formations have ambiguous characteristics, making visual assessment alone inconclusive.

Natural or Not?
This document discusses the challenges in distinguishing natural rock formations from carved rock art. It notes that experience helps in identification, but bias could still influence perceptions. Multiple factors must be considered, including weathering, geology, tools used, and archaeological context. While some features like peck marks indicate carving, absence of marks does not prove something is natural. Size, shape, depth, and symmetrical profiles provide clues, but many formations have ambiguous characteristics, making visual assessment alone inconclusive.

What is the impact of this?
It should be clearly stated here.Drilling projects operate around the clock, disrupting wildlife, and water sources. The drilling method of “fracking” is known for contaminating drinking water sources with chemicals that lead to cancer, birth defects and liver damage. The controversial method injects a mixture of water and chemicals into rock formations to release oil and gas. As a result, it generates huge volumes of wastewater with dangerous chemicals that can leak to ponds, lagoons and underground aquifers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
