Oysters, reefs, and swamps protect billions' worth of real estate for free
2013-07-21 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Desk: Among the hundreds of recommendations listed in Mayor Michael Bloomberg`s $20 billion plan to protect New York from climate change is a call to stock up on oysters. Not the kind you`d want to knock back with a nice pilsner on a Friday afternoon: The idea is to build large underwater oyster reefs around the harbor that could prevent coastal erosion and absorb storm surges. "Soft" infrastructure like this--reefs, wetlands, dunes, and other "natural" systems--is gaining in popularity over "hard" levees...
Natural Barriers Protect Our Coasts Best, Say Researchers

Climate News Network: The best thing to protect your property from the sea is a sand dune -- or a mangrove swamp, or a coral reef, kelp forest or sea grass meadow. Nature, which has been doing the job for three billion years, has had time to work out the surest and most enduring sea defenses, according to U.S. researchers. Katie Arkema of the Natural Capital Project at Stanford University in California and colleagues found that the conservation of natural habitat could reduce by half the people and property at risk...

Vegetation may not protect people from ozone pollution, says new research
2013-07-20 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News Medical: During heat waves - when ozone production rises - plants' ozone absorption is curtailed, leaving more pollution in the air, and costing an estimated 460 lives in the UK in the hot summer of 2006. Vegetation plays a crucial role in reducing air pollution, but new research by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) at the University of York shows that they may not protect us when we need it most: during extreme heat, when ozone formation from traffic fumes, industrial processes and other sources...

My Desert: With fire-scarred hillsides and the glittering water of Horsetooth Reservoir serving as a backdrop, federal officials on Friday announced an initiative aimed at protecting western water supplies from the ravages of wildfire. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and Tom Vilsack, the secretary of agriculture, signed a document committing their agencies to work with state and local officials and private landowners in reducing the risk and impact of massive fires. The partnership also is expected...

TVS Diode Arrays protect telecommunications interfaces.
2013-07-19 14:32:50| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Integrating steering diodes with additional zener diode, SRDA3.3 Series protects data lines against electrostatic discharge and high surge events. Units provide up to 600 W of power dissipation, dynamic resistance of 0.5 Ω, and low loading capacitance of 10 pF max. Applications include tertiary protection of high-speed T1/E1/T3/E3 telecommunications data lines, xDSL interfaces, RS-232/RS-485 interfaces, 10/100 Ethernet interfaces, and video lines.
