C6.05: New ocean-colour products for the user community - Shubha Sathyendrana...Blue Planet Symposium
The ocean-colour component of the Climate Change Initiative of the European Space Agency has generated a time series of bio-optical products from late 1997 to mid 2012. The products are based on data from SeaWiFS, MODIS-A and MERIS sensors, band shifted (to bring data to a common set of wavebands), corrected for inter-sensor bias, and then merged. Products include remote-sensing reflectances at SeaWiFS wavelengths, chlorophyll concentration, diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm, and inherent optical properties (components of absorption and back-scattering coefficients). Practically all the products have uncertainties (root-mean-square difference and bias) associated with them on a pixel-by-pixel basis, based on validation using in situ data. The first version of the products are available freely at www.oceancolour.org and at www.esa-oceancolour-cci.org. A second version is expected to be released prior to the Blue Planet Symposium in Australia in 2015. Furthermore, plans are underway to add to the product suite through a number of related ESA projects. New products envisaged include primary production, photosynthesis parameters, components of the carbon pool in the ocean and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the sea surface. User consultation and serving the user community are very much a part of these projects, and the Blue Planet provides a useful forum for reaching users from a variety of backgrounds. The work reported here contribute to components C2 (Sustained Ecosystems and Food Security) and C5 (Ocean Climate and Carbon) of the “Oceans and Society: Blue Planet” initiative of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO).

Air monitoring sensors and advanced analytics in exposure assessmentDrew Hill
https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12354866.v2
We are in the middle of a movement in environmental sensors that is taking the world by storm— Californian governments and public health practitioners, in particular, are leading the nation in exploring and implementing environmental sensors in the production of highly granular, realtime air quality information. As this movement matures, we are seeing improved understanding of ambient exposures and insights that are truly actionable — for example informing community emissions reduction plans under the recent Assembly Bill 617. This innovation in air quality sensor science can be leveraged to improve measurements in the industrial and occupational spaces. This movement has also lead to innovations in analysis methods that facilitate exposure insights not feasible with standard filter, adsorbent, and general integrated samples. This presentation discusses recent advancements in these spaces and offer brief examples of their implementation and potential applicability toward the industrial and occupational hygiene spaces.
Gathering of air pollution data in real time and
storing them in a database for further use
using them for real time alerting system
would be the key step in developing an Air Quality Management (AQM) system
Easy to create a bouquet of services will be a primary need of specific areas management agencies and their funding bodies (Municipalities, Regional and Central Government)

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

"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.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
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.

UNFCCC, the aim “to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by
sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century” (article 4 of the Paris Agreement) can be
understood as a stabilization of the forcing by well-mixed greenhouse gases. CAMS74 can contribute to
monitor progress towards this goal.
IPCC AR6, 1.5°C special report
A graduate student at Princeton University
“I'm a graduate student at Princeton University. My current project focuses on the effect of air pollution
on surface radiation. I have researched on several reanalysis and satellite-derived products. MACC
interests me in that the aerosol radiative forcing product provides attributions of the forcing to
anthropogenic and natural aerosols, which no other products (NASA's or NOAA's) provide according to
my knowledge. I was wondering if more detailed calculated radiation, e.g. direct and diffusive radiative
forcing due to anthropogenic and natural aerosols, is available in your dataset. If so, is it possible for me
to get access?
It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide more insights on the uncertainty and caveats of using
these data.”
Answer: Radiative forcing on direct and diffuse fluxes is not included, but we could consider adding
those terms in the version to be released in August 2016. For uncertainties and caveats, Charles has been
directed to Bellouin et al. (2013).
