The document discusses frequently asked questions about climate change. It summarizes that there is overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change is occurring and is caused by human activities. While models have uncertainties, they consistently project warming trends that are useful for considering risks over decades or more. The best approach is to use multiple models and consider a range of possible futures, as uncertainties are inherent in long-term climate projections. Questions about the topic are encouraged, but the evidence clearly shows the climate is changing due to human emissions of greenhouse gases.

The document discusses climate change in Texas and potential policy responses. It finds that Texas is one of the most vulnerable states to climate change impacts due to projected increases in temperatures, decreases in water availability, and increasing risks from hurricanes and drought. The document outlines strategies to mitigate climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy systems, agriculture, forestry, and other sectors. It also discusses options to adapt to the impacts of climate change through measures like coastal protection and structural adaptation.

The real reason for climate change and what is driving the changes. No model is any batter then the predictive results, the validation is therefore very easy to determine.
The document summarizes a presentation on regional climate simulations and their implications. It discusses evidence of global climate change, future projections of increased carbon dioxide concentrations, and simulations showing global and regional impacts. Regional impacts for the US Midwest include longer growing seasons but more variability in precipitation and increased flooding. It also addresses potential "climate surprises," social inequities related to climate change impacts on agriculture, freshwater availability, and sea level rise, and intergenerational equity issues. The summary emphasizes that climate change poses real risks and that action is needed, as regional impacts will be complex and could include unexpected events.

The document summarizes a presentation on regional climate simulations and their implications. It discusses evidence of global climate change, future projections of increased carbon dioxide concentrations, and simulations showing global and regional impacts. Regional impacts for the US Midwest include longer growing seasons, more heavy rainfall events, and increased flooding. It also addresses potential "climate surprises," social inequities related to climate change impacts on agriculture, freshwater availability, and sea level rise, and intergenerational equity issues. The summary emphasizes that climate change poses real risks, options diminish with delay, impacts will vary regionally, and the issue carries ethical considerations.

Electric Utility Risk Management in the Face of Climate RiskMark Trexler
Electric utilities are a key contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and have been thinking about climate change and climate policy longer than any other sector. This presentation to the Executive Committee of an electric utility in North America walks through the key issues and questions in developing an effective risk management strategy.
This document provides an overview of climate change concepts including:
- Global carbon budgets that track emissions partitioning between the atmosphere and carbon sinks. The imbalance reflects uncertainties.
- Historical cumulative fossil CO2 emissions have been led by developed nations like the US, EU, China, and Russia.
- The IPCC outlines climate change risks and impacts, as well as the need to limit warming to 1.5°C to avoid worst effects.
- Scenarios like RCPs and SSPs are used to model potential future pathways based on different levels of emissions and socioeconomic conditions.
This document provides an outline for a report on climate change and its impacts. The outline includes sections on defining climate and weather, factors that cause climate change, how the climate has changed in the past, evidence of human-caused climate change through the greenhouse effect, predictions for future climate changes, and how climate change will affect people globally and in Washington state. The report will discuss the science behind climate change and its observed and projected consequences.
The document discusses climate change and covers four main topics:
1) Climate science establishes that climate change is real and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels. The level of scientific consensus is extremely high.
2) Climate impacts explains that the effects of climate change are already occurring, with global temperatures rising much faster than historical rates. Impacts include melting Arctic sea ice.
3) Climate solutions acknowledges that solutions exist to address climate change through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, though specifics are not discussed.
4) Climate politics questions why more action is not being taken given the severity of the problem and the existence of solutions. Moving forward will require global cooperation and a shift to more sustainable energy sources.
John Holdren on Climate Change Challenge 2018 02-15Vincent Everts
In Nantucket I attended an amazing and scary presentation by John Holdren on Climate Change. John Paul Holdren was the senior advisor to President Barack Obama on science and technology issues through his roles as Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
Holdren was previously the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, director of the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program at the School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, and Director of the Woods Hole Research Center.
My presentation at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters on the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle (2 October 2017). I do not using present so detailed on the carbon cycle, so the slide deck is not that well developed. I mainly focused on aspects of uncertainty, and the interplay between the land sources and sinks.
The document describes a scenario where a team of 4 scientists are transported 101 years into the future to the year 2110 to study the effects of global warming. Their mission is to investigate how global warming has impacted the Earth and report back to "Central Command" with recommendations for actions that can be taken today to protect future inhabitants from the consequences of climate change. Each scientist is assigned a different role - climate scientist, policy analyst, economist, energy expert, or urban planner - to research the issues from various perspectives.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
