With climate change expected to impact the Caribbean, in terms of extreme weather conditions, researchers at the last Climate Modellers Meeting Consortium, in the areas of climate dynamics and modeling, meteorology, water, among others, hope to make strides in the field of climate science using data produced within the region.

With the advancement of climate change, many countries suffer frequent and longer drought conditions. Yet, technology and relevant tools are able to make a difference. For example, in the article linked below, from UN Environment , nomadic herders in Sahel rely on satellite imaging, together with, necessary partnerships, to make positive changes in the search for water.
This webinar sponsored by Deep Root, will be presented by Post Doctoral Researcher Andrew Tirpak, from the University of Tennessee Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on January 29th 2019.
By participating in this webinar, attendees will:
Learn how the health of trees in bioretention practices compares to other urban trees and understand the design and environmental factors that are most influential to tree health in these systems
Discover the contributions trees provide to the hydrologic and pollutant removal performance of bioretention practices and how they vary among tree species
Gain exposure to, and understand the performance capabilities of, green infrastructure technologies designed to simultaneously manage urban runoff and promote tree health
Understand how bioretention design and meteorological parameters impact tree function in bioretention suspended pavement systems
We have just received our digital copy the EOS Earth and Space Science News Magazine for January 2019 from the American Geophysical Union (AGU). This issue focuses on climate change; climate action; Karst groundwater; turbulent transport on gravel streambeds; geophysical studies, in light of the Bhutan earthquake; the extinction of mountain birds and lightning seen as a climate variable.
Persons wishing to view this magazine can email me or visit me at my desk.
We have just received our digital copy of the Water Well Journal for January 2019. In this issue one is provided with articles on topics such as Groundwater Week 2018, preventative well maintenance, workplace emergency plans, respect in workplace and engineering water systems.
Persons wishing to view a copy of this journal can send me an email or visit me at my desk.
