Q

What is the big picture of Coal strip mines?

A

coal strip mining causes soil homogenization and habitat destruction resulting in ecosystem loss, decreased biodiversity, and carbon accumulation potential decrease

21
Q

what is the why/what/cause from coal strip mines?

A

damages are due to tailing and overburden, soil disturbance, and coal combustion byproducts

22
Q

What are the problems with coal strip mining?

A

soil erosion, nutrient disruption, plant growth degradation, global climate change (carbon cycle disruptions)

23
Q

what are solutions to coal strip mining?

A

surface mining control and restoration act of 1977 (SMCRA) = restoration, diversified soil topography, reduced acid drainage

24
Q

what is final solution to coal strip mining problems?

A

closing loopholes in SMCRA, new act to expand reclamation scope, coal tax, green energy

25
Q

what is colin stookberry’s presentation theme and title?

A

CFPP & Mercury
Mercury Emissions as a result of CFPPS

26
Q

what is the big picture of mercury emissions?

A

mercury emissions as a result of coal combustion result in human and animal health concerns and potential trophic downgrading

27
Q

what is the why/what/cause from mercury emissions?

A

health concerns and trophic downgrading occur as a result of biomagnification of mercury, becoming toxic

28
Q

what are the problems associated with mercury emissions?

A

causes hair loss, conjunctivitis, cognitive decline, rotting jaw, heart issues, kidney failure in humans and animals, trophic downgrading can cause permanent damage to functioning of ecosystems

29
Q

what are solutions for mercury emissions?

A

filters for flue gas like ACI

30
Q

what are final solutions for mercury emissions?

A

greater publicity so these filters used in all plants, green energy

31
Q

What is Julia Palomo’s presentation theme and title?

A

Spanish Agriculture
Environmental and the territorial footprint of the agricultural system in spain

32
Q

what is the big picture of spanish agriculture?

A

Agricultural reliance in Spain pushes environmental and territorial Footprint beyond biophysical limits

33
Q

what is the why/what/cause of Spanish agriculture?

A

dry summers (as a reuslt of climat change) cause irrigation constraints, fertilisers and pesticides, and tragedy of the commons cause environmental problems

34
Q

What are the problems associated with spanish agriculture?

A

water management issues, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss

35
Q

what are solutions in spanish agriculture?

A

precision irrigation, buffer strips, pollinator biocontrol vector techniques

36
Q

what is final solution in spanish agriculture?

A

Common Agricultural policy - especially if change advocated for by citizens

37
Q

what is the theme and title of Balint Gergely’s presentation?

A

Invasive animals
Title: Confronting invasion: Early detection of invasive animals, as a solution to biological invasions

38
Q

what is the big picture of invasive animals?

A

invasive animals have significant economic and ecological costs as they take over a new area; displace native species altering biodiversity and therefore disrupt ecosystem services

39
Q

what is the why/what/cause of invasive animals?

A

introduced by human mediated transport in ships water ballast, or firewood shipping, and the release of pets

40
Q

what are the problems of invasive animals?

A

biodiveristy decline, habitat destruction, key species loss, potential human health harm from new pathogens and infectious diseases

41
Q

what are solutions to invasive animals?

A

early detection, risk assessments, pathway and vector management towards eradication

42
Q

what is a final solution to invasive animals?

A

cooperative between federal, state, local, and non-governmental agencies for a management and control plan.

43
Q

what is Mohammad Javad Dheghan’s presentation theme and title?

A

Ocean Overfishing
Title: Navigating the depths: Exploring the Human Impact and Solutions to Ocean Overfishing

44
Q

what is the big picture of ocean overfishing?

A

overfishing increase has resulted in decreased biodiversity and species richness in our oceans

45
Q

what is the why/what/cause of overfishing?

A

demand for seafood rising from overpopulation, lifestyle changes and globalization

46
Q

what is the problems associated with ocean overfishing?

A

reduced diversity size population, genetic disease, ecosystem disruption, biodiversity loss, bycatch and habitat destruction

47
Q

what are some solutions to ocean overfishing?

A

applying worldview of science based fishing, sustainable fishing techniques like long line

48
Q

What ais the final solution to ocean overfishing?

A

NOAA, governemnent and fishers cooperation establishing marine protected areas to restore fish stocks
