My former colleague Aadjan van der Helm co-organised a course in creating Interactive Environments.
Experience the interactive version.
In the course of the Interactive Environments Minor, organized by the faculty of Architecture and Industrial Design and Engineering, three interdisciplinary groups of students supported by TU Delft researchers and invited guest teachers have designed and built three interactive lounge pavilions. The pavilions attract people to enter, facilitate relaxation and provide a refuge from daily chores.
Exploring the environments made me jealous of the students; why weren't there courses like this when I was a student there? Then again, would I have taken the course? My interests have changed a lot since I graduated 10 years ago this thursday.
Sampling boat at location close to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
IAEA experts visited Japan from 8 to 14 September 2014 and -- together with staff from NRA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- collected water samples from the sea at five locations near TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
The water samples were shared both between the IAEA Environmental Laboratories and the Japanese Laboratories to e=be analyzed independently.

Much the same as with this new sheet: only now really taking off.. But steadily going forward ..
You can find lots and lots of info about this "new" approach to growing food, restoring the natural world.. and just plainly "life" on e.g. YouTube.
An officer of the Specialist Search Unit of Greater Manchester Police’s Tactical Aid Unit conducts a security search of one of the harder to reach areas of the Manchester Central Convention Centre prior to a major political conference.
The unit, which is equipped with a wide range of specialist equipment, can provide officers to plan and conduct searches and other tasks in hazardous environments. These may range from areas considered dangerous due to height such as radio masts, crags, tall buildings or close to any unprotected edge. They can also advise on access into confined areas, whether a flooded cellar, silo, pit, culvert or other location that would present significant danger to other officers.
Officers of the unit also coordinate searches of major crime scenes and large scale searches for missing persons amongst a wide range of other duties.

Today, as an occasional treat, I bought a small apple and almond tart. I was given a lovely canvas bag from the shop. Here in Switzerland, plastic is being very much discouraged to protect our environment.
The Chesapeake Executive Council Meeting is held at the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11, 2022. At the meeting, the Council agreed to outline the steps necessary to reach the targets set by the 2014 Chesapeake Watershed Agreement, potentially prioritizing which outcomes should be met by 2025. This critical plan will be unveiled at the 2023 Executive Council meeting, just in time for the Chesapeake Bay Program’s 40th anniversary. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

This piece started out as a piece of discarded nail art. It would have hung on the wall vertically, and there would have been a little vase underneath the "flowers". I made an environment for a Fisher Price spaceman (or hazmat tech) and a fat little bee - they live in a world of rocks and flowers.

Features of this house:
Features of this house:
It uses the same space as a regular house
It capture solar energy from its roof
It captures wind energy from its wind turbine
This house will provide its own electric power
It produces fruit trees giving the occupants a small source of income plus year long fruits and vegetables to supplement their pantry also the threes are good for the environment
It has plenty of windows so it can capture even the smallest breeze to cool the house, save energy and provide it with plenty of natural light
It could have goats to provide, milk, meat and a free grass cutting system eliminating the emissions of the lawn mowing equipment
The roof captures rain water for a tilapia or catfish fish farm and also to be used as an irrigation system year long
All water, other that toilet water, can be captured for irrigation, the use of environmentally friendly detergents is recommended so strong Chemicals don't contaminate or kill the trees and plants
It also can hold a half a dozen chicken's providing chicken, eggs and a wake up call in the morning
It uses a compost pile to turn organic matter into fertilizer for the trees and plants
(New Technology) A system could be develop to capture methane from the compost pile to provide the house with heating and cooking gas
Most if not all plastic aluminum, and glass, containers used will be recycled
(New Technology) Surplus electricity could be used to power air compressors to provide a car with environmentally friendly zero emissions power
Only wind and solar energy could be considered truly passive energy efficient gathering devises. Only electric or compressed air power cars can be environmentally friendly and that if the power used to energize them did not came from a nuclear or coal power plant. Working close to home and the development of local grown foods like farmer's markets will reduce carbon imprints huge amounts.
Rocky planets may be able to form in harsher environments than we thought. Webb detected key building blocks of planets, including water and carbon dioxide, in a rocky planet-forming zone being hit by extreme amounts of ultraviolet radiation.
Planets are formed from disks of gas, dust and rock surrounding stars. The specific disk Webb observed, XUE 1, is near several massive stars. These stars emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation, which scientists expected would disperse gas and break apart chemical molecules.
To the team’s surprise, Webb found partially crystalline silicate dust, plus various molecules (water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene) that can form rocky planets. It’s the first time such molecules have been detected under these extreme conditions.

This image: This spectrum shows data from the protoplanetary disk termed XUE 1, which is located in the star cluster Pismis 24. The inner disk around XUE 1 revealed signatures of water (highlighted here in blue), as well as acetylene (C2H2, green), hydrogen cyanide (HCN, brown), and carbon dioxide (CO2, red). As indicated, some of the emission detected was weaker than some of the predicted models, which might imply a small outer disk radius.

[Image description: Graphic titled “XUE 1 Irradiated Protoplanetary Disk, MIRI Medium -Resolution Spectroscopy” shows a graph of brightness on the y-axis versus wavelength of light in microns on the x-axis. An arrow pointing down along the y-axis reads “dimmer;” arrow pointing up reads “brighter.” (There are no values or tick marks on the y-axis.) The x-axis ranges from 13.3 microns on the left to 15.5 microns on the right, labeled in even increments of 0.5 microns, starting at 13.5. A key in the upper right corner shows that model data are plotted in purple and Webb data are plotted in white. Both the model and data form jagged lines with numerous peaks and valleys. The model and data do not match perfectly, but the general trends align. Four sets of peaks are highlighted and labeled. (1) Acetylene, C 2 H 2—highlighted in green; centered around 13.7 microns. (2) Hydrogen Cyanide, H C N—brown; 14.0 microns. (3) Water, H 2 O—blue; 14.2 microns. (4) Carbon Dioxide, C O 2—bright red; 14.95 microns.]
Henk Brandon of Suriname Conservation Foundation introduced both films on Thursday morning, Feb. 11, 2016. Each school was presented with a copy of an SCF documentary for their school library. Students also won door prizes for answering questions during the presentation.
The scenarios from the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) project that temperatures will increase dramatically in the Arctic, more than in many other parts of the world. This leads to effects, such as the decrease of area (e.g. tundra) under continuous permafrost, the northward move of the tree line and the decrease of Arctic Sea Ice. The synthesis is based on several different models and ensables and this map depicts the situation at the end of this century.
