The document discusses the importance of accounting for and communicating uncertainty in environmental data. It suggests that the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) can help by providing standardized approaches, making data and algorithms openly available, and educating policymakers. NEON should emphasize uncertainty in papers, classes, and labs, and provide forums to focus on the topic. The goal is to advance understanding and use of uncertainty estimates so they can better inform environmental policy decisions.
From all comments received by the LTER Network Office, this year's meeting in Estes Park was a complete success! The 2015 LTER All Scientists Meeting was held from August 30 through the evening of September 2. The Conference was organized around the theme: " From Long-Term Data to Understanding: Toward a Predictive Ecology". Almost 600 people attended the meeting. There were over 300 poster presentations and more than 75 formal and ad-hoc working group meetings. Drs. James Olds, Diana Wall, Knute Nadelhoffer, Ned Gardener and Christine O'Connell provided excellent plenary presentations to highlight the meeting. Chloe Wardropper (NTL) won 1st place in the student poster competition with Alexandra Conway (BNZ), Shinjini Goswami (HBR), Hafsah Nahrawi (GCE) and Bonnie McGill (KBS) winning runner-up awards.
On 2019, the 30th edition of the International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2019) took place in Berlin, Germany, October 28-31. The first edition took place in Washington, DC, USA, in 1990.
To celebrate this very important anniversary, we promoted an initiative to identify the ISSRE most influential papers, called "Highlights from 30 years of ISSRE". We looked for ISSRE papers that had a great influence and impact in the community. The goal of the initiative is to remember those papers and their authors, which, in practice, tell a good part of the story of our conference.

Attention Approximation: From the web to multi-screen televisionCaroline Jay
The move towards the provision of television content over two or more screens represents an enormous opportunity and a considerable challenge. A scientific understanding of what causes people to switch attention between the main screen and a 'second screen' mobile device during television viewing is key to the development of this technology. This seminar describes how ‘attention approximation’, a technique we have used to model visual attention and design screen reader presentation of Web content, can be used to investigate viewing behaviour, and ultimately drive the provision of content across multiple screens.

Jo Jolly & Donnie Mac Nicol: The Race to Net Zero - are you on track with you...PMIUKChapter
“It’s not as bad as you think – it’s worse.” Sir James Bevan, Chief Executive, Environment Agency
The Project Data Analytics Task Force recently launched an initiative to prompt and inform project and data professionals on the actions they can take in relation to climate change, and how they can leverage their influence.
On the basis that you cannot control what you cannot measure, the Task Force has developed a Carbon Self-Evaluation tool. This allows benchmarking in and across sectors. The tool encourages bottom-up action while providing data that will challenge the effectiveness of top-down strategies and policies.
A key point is that the biggest untapped potential to contribute is through using data analytics to drive out waste in every aspect of project delivery. The objective is an environment in which ‘climate’ is inherent in every decision we make – to maximise the benefit for the environment and people, and to minimise detrimental impact. The challenge however is to overcome human and commercial barriers to this.

While LeanKit sell a kanban tool, we firmly believe that kanban is only one of many powerful tools available to Lean practitioners and that all of these tools are best applied within a framework of Lean principles.
This talk briefly re-introduces those principles and then provides an introduction to more than ten main Lean practices and tools, including kanban, gemba, kaizen, takt time, obeya, value stream mapping, muri, mura, muda (waste) and more. It gives real-world examples of their use in different domains to make clear that these ideas are readily applicable across industries and functions.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

10. Summary
• Uncertainty is (finally) gaining attention as an important
part of informing environmental data
• Standards will be necessary to compare uncertainty
between different network measurements and continental
scale estimates
• Transparency and open communication are essential for
effective understanding of uncertainty
• Advocacy at the Policy Maker level will advance the
impact of uncertainty estimates
