Mid Term Report V2
The document discusses shifting cultivation practices of the Van Kieu indigenous people in Vietnam. Shifting cultivation is a traditional agricultural system where plots of land are cultivated temporarily and then abandoned and allowed to revert back to natural vegetation cover while the cultivators clear a new plot. The Van Kieu people follow specific traditions and beliefs in their shifting cultivation system, including selecting plots in February based on dreams and omens, slashing and burning the fields, planting various crops, and leaving fields fallow for 2-3 years. While the government has tried to replace shifting cultivation, it remains an important practice for many indigenous communities.

Dendroclimatology
Mackenzie Nelsen, a junior at Watauga High School, collected tree core samples from high and low elevation areas to analyze how climate change may affect high altitude carbon sequestration. She found that trees at elevations over 3,000 feet showed significantly more growth variation from 1990-2013 compared to low elevation trees. This suggests climate change will have a greater impact on mountain ecosystems. Higher CO2 levels may boost high elevation tree growth through fertilization but also make them more vulnerable to climate extremes.

Class 1, introduction to dendrochronology
The annual growth rings from trees provide us with an incredibly powerful and adaptable tool to study Earth’s history. The rings tell us much more than just the age of tree. They also provide clues that help us understand how our environment has changed in the past, and provide insights into how key processes in atmosphere, biosphere and geological systems operate over long timescales.
This course will teach students the fundamental principles of dendrochronology through a combination of formal lectures, class discussion and laboratory exercises. Students will work in the University of Minnesota’s Center for Dendrochronology, where they will learn how to collect, prepare and date tree-ring specimens. By the end of the course, they will be able to explain both the key concepts underlying dendrochronology and discuss how evidence from tree rings is used to address contemporary issues in natural history, resource management and Earth Systems Science.
The Critical Decade 2013: Influence of climate change on extreme weather events
The document summarizes how climate change is influencing extreme weather events in Australia. It notes that climate change is causing the atmosphere and oceans to warm, trapping more heat. This is exacerbated extreme weather like heatwaves, droughts, and bushfires. Records for heat were broken during Australia's Angry Summer in 2013. Climate change also influences coastal flooding by raising sea levels and affects rainfall patterns and flooding. The conclusion is that the current decade is critical for taking action on climate change to limit its impacts on future generations.
Crownest Pass Fires
The Crowsnest Pass Fire in 2003 started as a seasonal fire that grew out of control, eventually burning 20,000 hectares of land and reaching flames 50 meters high. Local resident Elaine Hruby was evacuated from the area and was stunned by the destruction left behind. While the logging industry and tourism in the region suffered impacts, many other businesses were unaffected. Some logging operations like Spray Lake Sawmills benefited by being able to use burnt lumber and salvage trees. Ecologically, the fire initially caused a major loss of life but will allow for new plant growth and ecological diversity in the long run by removing larger trees.
Wild Fire season
The 2018 wildfire season in California was the deadliest and most destructive on record. Fueled by large amounts of dead trees, high winds, and accidental ignitions from power lines, over 8,500 fires burned nearly 2 million acres. The Camp Fire destroyed the town of Paradise and was the costliest disaster of 2018. Despite prevention efforts, more homes are being built in high risk areas, leading to greater damage. Future strategies include maintaining fuel breaks and placing power lines underground. Federal agencies supported state recovery through debris removal and flexibility for health services.
Me in a nutshell (University of Minnesota version)
The document discusses various topics related to Winnipeg, Manitoba and the surrounding region. It provides background that Winnipeg gets its name from the Cree word meaning "muddy waters." It also mentions that Winnipeg is home to the Royal Canadian Mint and once lost its NHL hockey team, the Jets, to Phoenix. The document also discusses water resources and drought in Canada, including the Winnipeg River basin and exports of hydroelectric power to Minnesota.
Crowsnest Fire Presentation
The Lost Creek Fire that started on August 21, 2003 in the Crowsnest Pass Municipality burned over 20,000 hectares of land, forcing the evacuation of residents who could only watch as their homes burned in the intense 50-meter-high flames. While timber and tourism were negatively impacted, some local businesses saw steady customers, and Spray Lake Sawmills profited from obtaining salvage rights to 28% of the burned timber. The fire created environmental impacts like inhibiting undergrowth but would allow for natural forest regeneration over time.

The document discusses a student project about connections between animals, humans, and habitats and how humans impact the environment. The students hypothesized that education could build empathy and encourage environmental action. They screened the movie Earth for 700 students and surveyed them before and after. The students found that the movie helped educate people and build empathy for environmental issues. Their research showed various impacts of climate change and humans' responsibility to address it through actions like recycling, reducing energy and water use, and carpooling.
Australian Bushfire
The 2019-20 Australian bushfire season was one of the worst on record. Fires began in June 2019 and continued into the new year, burning over 46 million acres across several states. At least 33 people died and over 1 billion animals were killed. The fires destroyed thousands of homes and structures, causing over $165 million in economic losses. Long-term impacts include habitat destruction, threats to water supplies from ash runoff, and increased greenhouse gas emissions exacerbating climate change. Managing future bushfire risk requires educating the public, reducing fuels through controlled burns, enforcing building codes in high risk areas, and enhancing firefighting resources.
Power Point Project- Crowsnest Fire
A seasonal wildfire in Crowsnest Pass abruptly changed direction, growing into a 6-km wall of flames up to 50 m high with the energy of an atomic explosion every 30 minutes, forcing emergency evacuations. Over 20,000 hectares of forest were burned, hardest hit were the timber industry, local businesses, and tourism. While salvage efforts aim to recover burnt lumber, forest fires can create ecological diversity and undergrowth.

The Wild Ennerdale Partnership in Cumbria, England has been encouraging natural processes to shape the landscape of Ennerdale valley for over a decade. Their approach involves reducing human intervention to allow ecosystems to develop naturally. Key aspects of their work include introducing cattle grazing, giving the river more freedom, and reducing forestry activities. This has helped reintroduce species like marsh fritillaries and increased tree regeneration. Monitoring change over many decades is important to understand the impacts of a natural process-led approach to landscape management.
The Calder Greening project
Calder Greening is a series of projects to improve green spaces, encourage tourism and business growth, and complement the Flood Alleviation Schemes with naturally managed flood risk across the Calder Valley.
Part funded by the European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) as part of a £1.3m package, it is being delivered by Calderdale Council in partnership with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency.

Details are provided on individual events' locations, times, and contact information for more details.
Effective engagement with indigenous communities for Coastal Country
‘Country is the places from which Ancestors originated and still exist within as life forces. Country cannot be owned or tamed, as Country is also a relationship that must be honoured and nurtured’ (Hromek, 2020).
An effective approach to indigenous engagement encourages all working in coastal management ‘to develop their own understanding of and relationship to Country and those First Peoples who relate to it’ (Hromek, 2020). It firstly involves understanding the complexities of First Peoples in an area and asking each community if and how they wished to be engaged regarding Coastal Country. Listening, learning and respect are critical parts of the engagement process.
Lived experiences, corporeal activities and engaging the senses is a way of approaching Country (O’Brien, 2011). Where possible, Coastal Country should be interpreted and discussed in the field with First Peoples. ‘It is the right of Knowledge Holders to hear and read Country, and it is not appropriate for others to do so unless given the appropriate training, guidance and authority by Custodians’ (Hromek, 2020).
Based on these principles, this paper outlines the engagement with representatives from the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council, and Gumbaynggirr Cultural Knowledge Holders (including the Garby Elders) to inform the Woolgoolga Region Estuaries Coastal Management Program (CMP) Stages 2-4. As a result of the ongoing engagement, six CMP actions were identified for First Peoples to help manage Coastal Country of the area which includes the Solitary Islands Marine Park.

This document summarizes a study quantifying the flammability of rainforests compared to Eucalyptus forests. The study examined fuel characteristics, microclimate conditions, and fire behavior in different forest types. Key findings include: 1) Rainforests have less fuel mass and burn more slowly than Eucalyptus forests. 2) Rainforest fuel moisture is less sensitive to diurnal changes than Eucalyptus forests. 3) Wildfire seasons in the region are starting earlier than 50 years ago, and climate change may increase rainforest fire risk by affecting fuel accumulation. The study provides improved understanding of rainforest fire behavior to inform predictive modeling and risk planning.BushfireConf2017 – 13. Vegetation change associated with reduced fire frequen...

2. By mapping and comparing habitat in 1966 and 2009, the study found widespread loss (53%) of primary and secondary Eastern Bristlebird habitat due to reduced fire frequency, clearing, weed invasion, and shrub encroachment.
3. The recommendations are to use improved habitat mapping for targeted fire management, with more frequent controlled burning (every 3-6 years) needed in mapped Eastern Bristlebird habitat areas to maintain the necessary grassy understory.BushfireConf2017 – 14.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
