Deepwater Horizon. An Analysis of the Political and Legal Consequences of the Biggest Oil Spill in U.S. History
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1,0, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel, language: English, abstract: This paper shortly explains the incident and it's environmental and economical consequences. However, the focus is on the political and legal changes that can be seen as a result of the accident. Who was held responsible for the spill? What was the direct response from the Obama Administration and how did the biggest oil spill in history changed policy concerning safety and oil production? For centuries the oceans are a source for food supply, transportation, security, oil and gas resources. At the same time, human pressure the oceans both from land and see and climate change causes further tension. Ocean governance developed as a response to this. It's the conduct of the policy, actions and affairs regarding the oceans and is engaged for example with the division of the ocean space and the diverging regulations to control human activity in the oceans. By the middle of the twentieth century there was an impetus to extend national claims over offshore resources. The exploitation fever grow as technology opens new ways to tap the resources of the sea. Especially oil exploration was moving further from land and deeper into the bedrock of continental margins in the late 1960s. The fast development of the offshore oil production needs to be seen in a political context as till the 1970s the United States had been the world's number one producer of petroleum and American oil companies determined the global price of oil. However, the American demand for oil steadily increased and so did the overall reliance on imports. The "oil shocks" in 1973 and 1979 were the clearest and most painful affirmation of the nation's vulnerability because of its dependence on import oil. The more oil the U.S. produces itself the more the country can limit its involvement with foreign powers and concentrate on entirely meeting its own

Pricing Carbon Emissions
Pricing Carbon Emissions provides an economic critique on the utopian idea of a uniform carbon price for addressing rising carbon emissions, exposing the flaws in the economic propositions with a key focus on the EU's Emissions Trading System (ETS). After an Executive Summary of the contents, the chapters build up understanding of orthodox economics' role in protecting the neoliberal paradigm. A salient case, the ETS is successful in shielding the Business-as-Usual activities of the EU's industry, however this book argues that the system fails in creating innovation for decarbonizing production technologies. A subsequent political economy analysis by the author points to the discursive power of giant fossil fuel and electricity companies keeping up a fa癟ade of Cap-and-Trade utopia and hiding the reality of free permit donations and administrative price control, concealing financial bills mostly paid by household electricity customers. The twilights between reality and utopia in the EU's ETS are exposed, concluding an immediate end of the system is necessary for effective and just climate policy. The work argues that the proposition of shifting to a global uniform carbon tax is equally utopian. In practice, a uniform price applied on heterogeneous cases is not a source of benefits but one of ad-hoc adjustments, exceptions, and exemptions. Carbon pricing does not induce innovation, however assumed by the economic models used by IPCC for advising global climate policy. Thus, it is persuasively demonstrated by the author that these schemes are doomed to failure and room and resources need to be created for more effective and just climate politics. The book's conclusion is based on economic arguments, complementing the critique of political scientists. This book is written for a broad audience interested in climate policy eager to understand why decarbonizing progress is slow as it is. It marks a significant addition to the literature on climate politics, carbon pricing and the political economy of the environment more broadly.

Ecological Restoration
Ecological restoration, although a relatively new endeavour compared to other disciplines, has gained significant momentum during the last decade as accelerating global change becomes more apparent. It is now widely accepted by the scientific community that to avoid further devastating effects of climate change and biodiversity loss, humanity must determinedly move more to protect and restore natural ecosystems. Many restoration efforts of the past have been ad hoc, site and situation-specific and have often failed to achieve desired outcomes, but over the last decade, many countries are allocating increasingly significant amounts of financial investment towards restoration with the goal of achieving more systematic and predictable outcomes. Today, activities related to restoring ecosystems, natural assets and biodiversity are a global focus. This book covers a wide range of topics related to ecological restoration including for grasslands, wetlands, temperate and tropical forests and arid zones. Importantly, it also focuses on ecological restoration in human-disturbed landscapes such as for urban areas, farmlands, mine sites and transport corridors. It highlights the necessity for evidence-based approaches that are both nuanced and complementary with prescriptions for people-based restoration, that is socially inclusive and cognisant of historic and current community sentiment. Ambitious landscape and continental scale targets for ecological restoration have been set across the globe. However, without practical guidelines developed from restoration evaluations from the recent past to follow, future efforts are unlikely to be successful, nor -expected targets met. To that end, this book reviews and highlights a large number and variety of restoration stories from around the world. Most are presented as reader-friendly case studies, that feature innovative and systematic techniques for undertaking species-rich ecological restoration.Together they provide inspiration for current and future professionals and offer unique glimpses into state-of-the-art practice for this critically important discipline

Assessment of challenges and opportunities of traditional soil conservation practices in Dabre work woreda, East Gojam Zone, Ethiopia
Research Paper (undergraduate) in the subject Biology - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: The study was conducted in Diyateba kebele and Dijumeti kebeles at Debirework Woreda, East Gojjam zone. The major purpose of the study was to assess the opportunity and challenges of traditional soil conservation practices in Diyateba kebele and Dijumeti kebeles kebele. It also among at investigate the opportunities and challenges of traditional soil conservation practices. The data for this study were collected from both primary and secondary sources by using simple random sampling techniques. The primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviewing farmers who have long history and more experience about the data. The secondary data sources were taken from books and Diyateba kebele and Dijumeti kebele Administrative office. The study should that the farmers of the study area have a good awareness of the negative effects of soil erosion on socio-economic and environmental aspects of the society. To overcome the negative effects, farmers of the study area have practice several traditional soil conservation measures. These practices are both biological (application of manure, crop rotation) and structural measures (soil or stone bund) to protect soil from and maintain soil fertility. To apply those traditional soil conservation practices there are opportunities like distance from homestead, presence of livestock, area of cultivated land and absence of inorganic fertilizer. And has challenges like socio-economic, farm institutional and technological challenges. To reduce these problems, there should be improved knowledge of local communities 'towards traditional soil conservation practices.
Nature's Crossroads
Minnesota's Twin Cities have long been powerful engines of change. From their origins in the early nineteenth century, the Twin Cities helped drive the dispossession of the region's Native American peoples, turned their riverfronts into bustling industrial and commercial centers, spread streets and homes outward to the horizon, and reached well beyond their urban confines, setting in motion the environmental transformation of distant hinterlands. As these processes unfolded, residents inscribed their culture into the landscape, complete with all its tensions, disagreements, contradictions, prejudices, and social inequalities. These stories lie at the heart of Nature's Crossroads. The book features an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars who aim to open new conversations about the environmental history of the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.

Gated Communities and the Digital Polis
This edited collection provides an alternative discourse on cities evolving with physically and virtually networked communities--the 'digital polis'--and offers a variety of perspectives from the humanities, media studies, geography, architecture, and urban studies. As an emergent concept that encompasses research and practice, the digital polis is oriented toward a counter-mapping of the digital cityscape beyond policing and gatekeeping in physical and virtual gated communities. Considering the digital polis as offering potential for active support of socially just and politically inclusive urban circumstances in ways that mirror the Greek polis, our attention is drawn towards the interweaving of the development of digital technology, urban space, and social dynamics. The four parts of this book address the formation of technosocial subjectivity, real-and-virtual combined urbanity, the spatial dimensions of digital exclusion and inclusion, and the prospect of emancipatoryand empowering digital citizens. Individual chapters cover varied topics on digital feminism, data activism, networked individualism, digital commons, real-virtual communalism, the post-family imagination, digital fortress cities, rights to the smart city, online foodscapes, and open-source urbanism across the globe. Contributors explore the following questions: what developments can be found over recent decades in both physical and virtual communities such as cyberspace, and what will our urban future be like? What is the 'digital polis' and what kinds of new subjectivity does it produce? How does digital technology, as well as its virtuality, reshape the city and our spatial awareness of it? What kinds of exclusion and cooperation are at work in communities and spaces in the digital age? Each chapter responds to these questions in its own way, navigating readers through routes toward the digital polis.

The Secret Life of Chemicals
This book provides extensive information on the chemicals that inhabit our environment, our food, our water and our air and the impact that they may be having on human health. The author is a medical scientist, with training in the law. The book documents current understanding about pesticides in food, the plastics revolution, toxic metals, air, water and electronic waste pollutants, chemical exposure in the workplace, radiation pollutants, chemical exposure and hearing loss, how our bodies deal with chemicals, genetic variability and the risk of disease, the effect of chemicals on genes, mitochondria and the immune system and what we can do about it all. Industrialisation has resulted in many thousands of chemicals, which are being continuously developed and often escaping from where they are used into our human environment, without us really knowing enough about them. In high dosages or with continuous small dosage, the evidence suggests, that many of them couldinterfere with human health and some of them are known to be doing so. But for the vast majority, we are left wondering whether some could be responsible for some diseases the causes of which are inadequately understood. Every chapter is thoroughly reinforced with several pages of references from the peer-reviewed literature.

Patricia DeMarco has led a remarkable life, walking in the footsteps of environmental icon Rachel Carson. In doing so, Patricia has forged her own path through the same challenges Rachel faced. In her latest book, In the Footsteps of Rachel Carson, Patricia shares her journey, the lessons learned, and her hope and concern for the future of this planet we all call home. Patricia DeMarco is a local, regional, national, and global treasure, as well as being my personal hero. In the Steps of Rachel Carson she takes us with her through the jungles of Brazil to the snowy Alaskan wilderness, beginning and ending in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, her beloved hometown. Patricia shares her journey with us as she battles cancer, misogyny, big business, and corporate greed along the way-always sustained by family, flora, and fauna. Patricia provides an important message throughout her memoir that "the laws of nature are non-negotiable." We would do well to heed her warning. - Your Spiritual Journey Podcaster, Bob Dove PhD "In these times of ecological and social crises, it's easy to lose our way, to become heartbroken and discouraged. In these inspiring and intimate essays, Patty DeMarco's footsteps and those of Rachel Carson show us a path forward. May the examples of these world-changing women engender the next generation of Rachel Carsons we so desperately need." - Lou Leonard, Dean of the Falk School of Sustainability, Chatham University

The Pulse of the Bay 2022
This year marks the 50th anniversary of a transformationalturning point for Bay water quality: passage of the FederalWater Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, commonlyknown as the Clean Water Act (CWA). On the occasion of this momentous milestone, this edition of The Pulse of the Bay includes nineperspectives written by representatives of the groupsthat have a prominent role in managing Bay water quality, and profiles of the parameters that have been the main water qualityconcerns over the past 50 years, with a focus on long-termtrends and a historical perspective.The CWA provided a legal framework and a considerable amount of federalfunding (over $1 billion, equivalent to approximately $7billion in 2022 dollars) that drove a rapid and remarkableimprovement in Bay water quality. By 1987, all municipalwastewater treatment plants but one were providingsecondary treatment, which effectively removes oxygen demandingorganic matter and bacteria as well as manytoxic metals and organic chemicals. Bay monitoring dataavailable for the 1970s and 1980s show that dissolved oxygenlevels increased, and bacteria and toxic metal concentrationssharply declined. By 1982, public harvesting of shellfish inSan Mateo County was approved for the first time in 50years. By 1987, the Water Board concluded that swimmingwas safe in most areas of the Bay during summer.
Inorganic-Organic Composites for Water and Wastewater Treatment
This second volume on ''Inorganic-Organic Composites for Water and Wastewater Treatment'' reviews research findings on advanced materials and methods for purification. Considering the fact that new emerging pollutants are released into the environment and water bodies, it is necessary to develop more advanced techniques in order to treat them. The utilization of metal - organic framework in view of applications, synthesis, properties like adsorption, characterization of the electronic and geometric aspects, and hybrid systems is reiewed in this book, and the advantages/disadvantages, shortcomings including future prospects associated with metal-based nanoparticles and nanocomposites for water decontamination are discussed. In addition, the use of carbon quantum dots, supramolecular ion-exchange resins, multifunctional composite aerogels, algal biomass valorization and titania-containing composites in treatment processes are also presented.

Landscape-Level Long-Term Biological Research and Monitoring Plan for the Crane Trust
Implementing a long-term monitoring program will help us more critically assess the impacts of our management actions to better understand their impacts upon Whooping Cranes, Sandhill Cranes, and the other bird species that pass through and breed in the Big Bend region of the Platte River in Nebraska. It is also our responsibility to publish, in scientific journals and management publications, the results of our research so that we may inform our colleagues in the conservation community and maintain a public record of our research program at the Crane Trust. We need to better understand dynamic ecological change in the long view by implementing an achievable, straight-forward research and monitoring strategy on the Crane Trust's properties. We have an opportunity to collect ecological information on an important mosaic of wet meadows, river channels, sloughs, woodlands, and tallgrass prairies, across a diversity of soil types and biotic communities, under a variety of management regimes. So much incredible research has been done at the Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust over the last 40 years. One way in which we can continue this legacy is via the continued implementation of our long-term research and monitoring efforts, allowing us to be cooperators in the great task of understanding the "long-scale" ecological changes taking place in the Great Plains, and in our world. This is the future trend of ecological science and land management; we are moving from shorter-term experiments to long-term data collection as a standard practice for understanding the ecological systems we inhabit. -Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust, Wood River, NE, USA
Wetland Plants for Sustenance of Mankind
Wetlands are earth's liquid assets and often described as "kidneys of the landscape." These, in fact provide many services and commodities to humanity. Nearly all cultures from ancient times to present day have used wetland resources for their sustenance. However, during the last few decades, the interaction of man with wetlands has been of concern largely due to the rapid population growth accompanied by intensified industrialization, modernization and urbanisa-tion, and needs to be addressed
