Ghg assessment from forest fires - indonesia case studyFarhan Helmy
This document provides a preliminary assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from forest fires in Indonesia, with a focus on peatland fires. It finds that forest and land fires in Indonesia are primarily human-caused and occur mostly during the dry season, emitting significant greenhouse gases. Specifically, the 2013 fires in Sumatra burned over 100,000 hectares and emitted an estimated 183 million tons of CO2 in Sumatra and 54.9 million tons in Kalimantan. The document calls for improved methods to map burned areas, characterize carbon stocks and combustion factors, in order to more accurately calculate emissions from peatland fires and support Indonesia's climate change mitigation efforts.

Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation: The Case of the Ikalahan Forest Car...Vherna Comagon
This document discusses climate change mitigation and adaptation through a potential forest carbon project in the Ikalahan Ancestral Domain in the Philippines. It outlines the case of developing payments for ecosystem services, specifically carbon sequestration and storage, through the Clean Development Mechanism. The Ikalahan people could develop a 900-hectare reforestation project to generate carbon credits, with support from RUPES and other organizations to help overcome challenges in project design, implementation, and long-term management. If successful, it would provide livelihood benefits to communities while conserving forests and their ecosystem services.
This document summarizes a new approach for disaggregating reported greenhouse gas emissions from Canada's managed forests into natural and anthropogenic components. The approach uses a carbon budget model and spatial data on forest inventory, growth, natural disturbances like wildfires and insects, and forest management activities. It separates emissions into those resulting from uncontrollable natural disturbances versus human activities, providing greater transparency about the impacts of forest management and mitigation efforts over time. Next steps involve expanding the approach spatially at high resolution to better document outcomes of investments in forest sector mitigation.
This presentation by Michelle McKemey of the University of New England and Lesley Patterson of Banbai Enterprise Development Aboriginal Corporation shows how cross-cultural monitoring of targeted species, including the echidna and black grevillea, reveals the impact of the reintroduction of cultural burning to these species and establishes an independent monitoring program that Aboriginal communities can continue to use into the future.

This document provides an overview of emission and removal factors for mangrove ecosystems. It discusses the scientific background and default factors in the 2013 IPCC Wetlands Supplement for key carbon pools like aboveground biomass, dead organic matter, and soils. It identifies opportunities to refine the factors at Tier 2 and 3 levels based on bioregional and ecological data. Gaps in soil carbon factors for extraction activities and non-CO2 fluxes are noted. Integrating high resolution activity data with mangrove typology maps is recommended to improve national greenhouse gas inventories for blue carbon ecosystems.
Development and Applications of Fire Danger Rating Systems in Southeast AsiaCIFOR-ICRAF
This document discusses the development and application of fire danger rating systems (FDRS) in Southeast Asia. It describes the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) and how it was adapted for use in Southeast Asia through a project from 1999-2004. The project involved technical adaptation of the FDRS including fuel modeling, calibration of indices, and mapping of fuel types for the region. It also describes how the FDRS can support early warning of fire risk, monitoring of fire danger levels, and mitigation activities through interpretation of the fire weather index. The goal is to integrate FDRS products with fire suppression planning to allow more anticipatory mobilization of resources and improved fire management.

This study examined the spatial congruence between biodiversity and the economic value of ecosystem services in tropical forests. The authors conducted a meta-analysis of 30 valuation studies from different tropical forest sites. They found that the economic value of ecosystem services does not match areas of high biodiversity, but instead follows a nonlinear relationship with accessibility and economic activity levels. Specifically, economic value peaks at intermediate accessibility and development levels. The study concludes that conservation policies focused solely on economic values would fail to protect remote, less disturbed regions that harbor much of the tropical forest biodiversity.
Role of Non wood forest produce (NWFP) in providing livelihoodsBhomik Shah
This presentation discusses the role of non-wood forest products (NWFPs) in the sustainability of REDD+ projects.

Developing FRELs/FRLs and Potential Implications of Economic IncentivesCIFOR-ICRAF
This document discusses developing forest reference emission levels and reference levels (FRELs/FRLs) for REDD+ and their implications for economic incentives. It proposes a stepwise approach for countries to establish FRELs/FRLs based on available data and capacity. Case studies from Brazil, Indonesia, Peru and Vietnam show how to model drivers of deforestation and estimate FRELs/FRLs. Comparing FRELs to actual emissions helps determine a country's performance in REDD+ and potential payments. Establishing credible FRELs/FRLs is important for REDD+ financial incentives but must balance climate and development goals.

The document discusses ICCC activities related to developing methodologies for monitoring drivers of fires and haze in Indonesia and estimating greenhouse gas emissions. Key outputs include protocols for monitoring drivers, an early warning system, and more accurate estimates of emissions, human health impacts, and patterns of drivers. It also summarizes challenges in detecting smoldering peatland fires using satellites and presents preliminary findings from a project using nighttime satellite data to estimate peatland fire emissions.
1. The document discusses investigating fire-climate interactions under a changing climate. It examines the relationship between fire weather index (FWI) and burned area as a measure of fire activity.
2. There is a global relationship found between FWI and burned area using regression analysis. Areas most sensitive to changes in FWI are boreal forests, parts of Australia, and the Mediterranean.
3. Future projections using climate models show increases in FWI globally under moderate and high emissions scenarios, posing threats to fire-prone regions. However, uncertainties exist regarding long-term vegetation responses.
This document presents research on the relationship between forest fires and global warming in the Amazon rainforest. It discusses how forest fires have increased due to rising global temperatures.

OECD Green Talks LIVE - Taming Wildfires in the Context of Climate ChangeOECD Environment
This report summarizes key findings on the growing threat of extreme wildfires in the context of climate change. It finds that climate change is increasing wildfire risk by creating hotter, drier conditions. Extreme wildfires are burning more area, doing more damage to ecosystems, economies and human health, and releasing more greenhouse gases. The report recommends a paradigm shift to focus more on preventing wildfires through measures like ecosystem protection, fuel management, land use planning, building codes, risk assessment, coordination, and increased funding for prevention over suppression.

Cn 6 th14_aveiro_modelling_runoff_and_erosion_in_a_fire-prone_environment_coelhoErik van den Elsen
This document summarizes research that used the PESERA model to simulate runoff and erosion in fire-prone environments in Portugal. The study areas have experienced extensive wildfires that damaged vegetation and increased erosion. The model was modified to account for fire impacts such as biomass and soil organic matter reduction. Simulation results showed that erosion response to fires depends strongly on rainfall intensity after fires. Prescribed fires reduced total erosion but not necessarily small wildfire frequency. A temperature rise scenario increased fire frequency and severity but total erosion rates were not higher due to more rapid post-fire vegetation regrowth.
The internship presentation summarized work done at EDQI on developing a parallel support vector machine model for forest fire prediction. The interns analyzed forest fire and weather data from India and Portugal, finding their model achieved a 63.45 RMSE on Portugal data compared to 63.5 for a standard SVM. They also discussed using their interface to predict forest fires in the Amazon rainforest based on historical data, obtaining 99% accuracy in predicting spot fire ranges. The goal of their extension project is predicting forest fires to enable better prevention through machine learning.
The Physical Science Basis of Climate Changeipcc-media
The document summarizes key messages from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report regarding the physical science basis of climate change. It discusses how the climate has warmed by 0.85°C since 1850 due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Glaciers and snow cover have declined and sea levels have risen due to this warming. Future projections estimate further increases in temperature, changes in precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. The report emphasizes that without significant reductions in emissions, climate change impacts on issues like food/water security and human settlements will be severe and widespread.
ICLR Friday Forum: Long range wildfire forecast for Canada - Hot and smokey (...glennmcgillivray
On September 14, 2018, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Long range wildfire forecast for Canada – Hot and smoky? Is this the new reality?' led by Mike Flannigan, University of Alberta. Recently, we have seen catastrophic and deadly wildfires around the world. In Canada, recent examples of such events include the Fort McMurray wildfire (the costliest natural disaster in Canadian history) and a record breaking year for wildfire activity in British Columbia in 2017. Wildfires have contributed to a drop in National GDP and significant evacuations of communities across Canada. On average, 7,000 wildland fires burn about 2.5 million ha (about half the size of Nova Scotia) every year. The area burned has more than doubled since the 1970s primarily due to human-caused climate change. Impacts from wildfires are rising due to increasing wildfire activity along with increasing societal values on the landscape. Canadian wildfire management agencies currently spend $800 million protecting Canadians and these expenditures are steadily growing.
What does the future hold for wildfire in Canada? This Friday forum addressed the potential impacts of climate change on Canada’s forests. In particular, how changes in future fire intensity may be a game changer. How wildfires will be managed in the future given the changing fire environment and the likely increase of humans on the landscape?
Mike Flannigan is a Professor of Wildland Fire with the Department of Renewable Resources at the University of Alberta and the director of the Canadian Partnership for Wildland Fire Science (a three way partnership with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Natural Resources Canada and the University of Alberta). Dr. Flannigan’s primary research interests include fire and weather/climate interactions including the potential impact of climatic change, lightning-ignited forest fires and landscape fire modelling. He has been studying fire for over 35 years and has published over 200 papers.
This document discusses New Zealand's reporting obligations under the Kyoto Protocol for land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF).

This document discusses the political challenges of solar geoengineering. It notes that the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit warming to 1.5-2°C may be difficult to achieve based on current emission reduction commitments. While solar geoengineering could potentially help reduce climate risks, there are concerns it could undermine emissions cuts, have unpredictable impacts if halted, and lead to conflicts over responsibility for weather events and democratic decision-making around its use. Independent assessment and consideration of alternatives would be needed to avoid interests prolonging fossil fuel use or decisions being captive to certain groups.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
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.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
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.
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.

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.
