How Satellite Imagery is Helping to Transform Soil Carbon Monitoring for Growers
Healthy soil systems act as an important natural carbon sink for the planet by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide and helping to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations. The value of our planet’s soil as a carbon store cannot be overlooked. Capable of storing twice the amount of carbon found in the atmosphere and three times that in above ground vegetation, the health of our soil ...

Status of black carbon monitoring in ambient air in Europe
Black carbon (BC) is increasingly discussed in science and environmental policy areas as an example of an air pollutant that affects both human health and contributes to climate change (e.g. WHO, 2012; UNEP/WMO, 2011; Bond et al., 2013; IPCC, 2013). In order to be able to make comparable measurements of BC in ambient air and to relate BC monitoring to health impacts and climate change it is ...

Introduction to JXCT weather station
Background ~A weather station is a facility equipped with instruments to measure various atmospheric conditions and weather elements. The instruments are used to collect data that can be used to predict weather patterns, monitor climate change, and provide information to farmers, pilots and other professionals who rely on weather information. The Weather Station 900 is a state-of-the-art weather ...

The shifting sands of GHG regulation
So far this year, there have been significant developments on U.S. climate change policy, including movement toward mandatory reporting and regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the federal level via either a cap-and-trade program or possibly existing Clean Air Act mechanisms. While the specifics are still uncertain regarding how these regulatory developments and legislative actions ...

CDM monitoring & reporting for carbon credits case study
Abridged from a Wastecon 2008 Presentation and Paper by Mitchal L. Cassel LANDTEC, Colton, California The project sites The project is in Brazil and obtains certified emission reductions (CER) or carbon credits for a large scale, waste handling and disposal, clean development mechanism (CDM) project. Methane emissions are being reduced through collection and destruction of landfill gas (LFG). ...

The importance of water quality monitoring
What is water quality monitoring? Water monitoring is the way of gathering information about the condition and quality of rivers, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters. The process measures whether these waters are safe for drinking, fishing or swimming. In short, it is a cost-effective and efficient system designed to monitor water quality using IoT (Internet of Things). The obtained data is ...

Monitoring the receipt of international climate finance by developing countries
The 2010 Cancun Agreements and 2011 Durban Outcome call for developing countries to register, monitor, and report on support received, and for developed countries to improve their reporting by using more complete climate finance reporting guidelines. Doing so will enable information on climate change finance from developed countries to be matched with information from developing countries. The ...

A Climate Change Reality Check
The world spent $50 billion dollars per year on weather-related disasters in the 1980s, according to the World Bank. Today, we spend roughly $200 billion annually. Twenty-five extreme weather and climate events in 2011 and 2012 caused more than $188 billion of damages in the United States alone. And yet—despite these escalating costs and risks—the world continues to emit dangerous ...

Smart LDAR — more cost-effective?
On December 19, 2008, EPA issued a final rule establishing a voluntary Alternative Work Practice (AWP) to detect leaks of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from process equipment (FR Vol. 73, Number 246), thereby providing the regulated community additional flexibility in complying with leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements. The AWP allows owners or ...
