The #biodiversity of the #Danube #Delta is not affected by dredging works on the Bystroye Canal, and the water flow on the river Danube did not report any significant changes compared to statistics published in recent years, says Environment Minister @BarnaTanczos. (1/4)

The statement came after the 1st measurements conducted by RO on the branch of Chilia&RO sections of the Danube. He said Ukrainian authorities must provide a written consent before the 3 RO ships can finalize depth measurements across the entire section of the Chilia branch (2/4)

Authorities from Romania&Ukraine have agreed to measure the depth of #Danube River canals after Kyiv started #dredging the Bystroye canal. The Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry said that, once dredging works were completed, the depth of Bystroye grew from 3.9 to 6.5 meters. (3/4)

Ireland's Environmentalists

@IrelandsEnviro

1/Friday we made it! We saw briefly/incompletely how #pollen #beetles preserved in #peat can shed light on long term #ecological change. There are other 'proxies' + the #peatland #archaeological record, esp rich in 🇮🇪, a remarkable 'archive' of past people/environments/climate

2/#Peat is remarkable for so many reasons, long regarded as of little 'use', now known to be an #ecosystem 'superstar' (TBD further tomorrow!) key for preservation of #Palaeoenvironmental + #Archaeological record. Photo: woody fen peat in auger @Calum_Sweeney_ @EcomuseumsLive

3/In this sense, we can think of #Peatlands as representing an intersection between how we understand long term #ecological change, #ClimateChange, human activity/impact + data key for #Conservation #Rehabilitation #Restoration of #Ecosystems Image 1: From Book Image 2!

My 2022 Year in Review and look ahead to 2023…

An unusual year of ups + downs that took my research agenda to unexpected places.

Yet the result was invaluable + ended up taking my work to useful new places.

A longish 🧵 on #cio #cloud #digitaltransformation #FutureOfWork. 1/x

First up is my detailed analysis titled “The #Cloud Reaches an Inflection Point for the #CIO in 2022.” It remains very pertinent reading.

Written as the cloud industry reached an early maturity point, it highlighted a top hot issue: Complexity

Then I took a deep dive into #decentralization, perhaps one of the most significant generational revolutions of our era:

Regardless of what happens to #crypto, the underlying tech esp. #blockchain, is an inflection.

2/As it is now there are hundreds of shooting licensed people walking off track. Hundreds of thousands of feral deer, xrabbits,x pigs (latter two a food, anti #poverty source that cannot be culled by shooters) already damaging #native wildlife.Protecting #Indigenous locations/3

3/ @DanielAndrewsMP is key but to lock up (by fines) large areas is #segregation and discrimination. To lock up but then ok if you pay — is a cynical misuse of power. It would be good to hear from #Indigenous Victoria as we already know the value of the birthing trees was/4

Current research on microplastics is the stuff of nightmares-

They’re dangerous, they’re spread through our food, they're in the air... they’re everywhere

Thread 1/x
#health #ClimateCrisis #PlasticPollution #food

Much of the research is trapped behind paywalls, and only reported on in a limited, fragmented pattern

-like so much else when large corporations cause environmental damage and impose widespread health impacts on the public

2/x
#health #ClimateCrisis #PlasticPollution #food

The growing risks of microplastics are a direct function of an ongoing push by the same sociopathic corporations that are driving the climate crisis

- #Dengue risk will increase with longer seasons and a wider geographic distribution in #Asia, #Europe, Central and South America and sub-Saharan #Africa, potentially putting additional billions of people at risk by the end of the century

- A billion people projected to be at risk from coastal-specific climate hazards in the mid-term under all scenarios, including in Small Islands. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

1/ @avalancheavax is a highly customizable #Layer0 that enables the development of an infinite number of #blockchains on top.

It can support the adoption of #EVM for any custom VM that implements the innovative #AVAX consensus.

It is composed of four mechanisms: Slush, Snowflake ❄️, Snowball, and Avalanche

Want to be in the top 1%?

Find the blockchain projects 99% aren't looking at.

I've done 1000s of hours of research on some of the best projects and compiled them into educational threads for other citizens to research

Here are some of my deep dives🌊

--Thread of Threads--

My focus is on long-term utility blockchain/ DLT projects⛓

Not short-term meme coins

These threads will cover:

• CBDC's
• IoT + IoV
• Innovation
• Supply chain
• Data protection
• Paperless trade finance
• Cheap payment infrastructure
• Interoperability of DLT ledgers

Citizen of the Future - A Blockchain Theory 🌎

@UtilityTheory

Everyone knows the term cryptocurrency

But few understand what blockchain technology is and how it's revolutionizing industries across the globe

A list of information on why you should research blockchain technology

--Thread--

1. Blockchain is the underlying technology that cryptocurrencies are built upon.⛓

Yes, it's more than a digital currency.

Blockchain / DLT (distributed ledger technology) provides an immutable, digital ledger that is always updating with transactions happening in real-time. 📖

2. What are the benefits of using Blockchain or DLT?🤔

Check out the pictures below to see how DLT technology will revolutionize industries. 👇

Bourla con't: "The 3 doses w/ the #booster, they offer reasonable protection against hospitalization & deaths... Now, we are working on a new version of our vaccine, the 1.1 [] that will cover #Omicron as well."

Bourla: "... we are waiting to have the final results. The vaccine will be ready in March, & [] we'll be able to produce it massively."

📣🚨 New article🚨📣

Do digital #ecosystems render traditional market definition (TMD) obsolete? In our new @EU_ScienceHub empirical WP (bit.ly/3DefTti) we argue that this approach is not obsolete, but needs to be complemented with alternative ones. Here is why 👇🧵

First of all, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀? “A set of actors with varying degrees of multilateral, 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤 complementarities that are not fully hierarchically controlled" (@jacobides, @CarmeloCennamo, & @AnnabelleGawer, 2018, emphasis added).

⚠ Vocabulary caveats. In the paper:

a) "nongeneric complementarities in consumption'' = "demand-side linkages"

b) ''traditional market definition'' = ''substitutability approach''
