| [[Prometheus Fuels]]

| <small>Prometheus Fuels is an American energy [[Startup company|startup]] developing tools to filter atmospheric [[carbon dioxide| CO₂]] using water, electricity, and [[carbon nanotubes|nanotube]] [[nanotube membrane|membranes]] to produce commercially-viable fuels. When powered by [[Renewable energy|renewable electricity]] sources, [[Electrofuel|e-fuels]] produced by such [[direct air capture]] methods do not contribute further emissions, making them [[Carbon neutrality|carbon neutral]]. The project was one of two selected for investment in March of 2019 by [[Y Combinator]], a prominent [[Silicon Valley]] business incubator, after requesting proposals which address [[Carbon dioxide removal|carbon removal]].</small>

| <small>The New Mexico Aulacogen {{Audio|aulacogenpronunciationrecording.ogg|(ah-lah-coh-jin)}} is a failed [[rift]], or failed rift arm ([[aulacogen]]), that may have formed during the [[Cambrian]] and [[Ordovician]] Periods in the area from central [[Colorado]] through southern [[New Mexico]]. Its presence is inferred from pervasive alkaline and [[carbonatite]] intrusions of this age in this area. These include the Iron Hill carbonatite complex of central Colorado.</small>

| [[Green Infrastructure for Stormwater Management]]

| <small>Green infrastructure is defined in the United States by section 502 of the [[Clean Water Act]] as the range of measures that use plant or soil systems, permeable surfaces, stormwater harvest and reuse, infiltrate or evapotranspirate stormwater and reduce flows to sewer systems or to surface waters. Green infrastructure encompasses various water management practices such as vegetated rooftops, absorbent gardens and other measures to capture, filter, and reduce stormwater. Green infrastructure prevents or reduces the amount of water that flows into storm drains and is proved as an important tool for cities with combined sewer overflows and nutrient problems. It provides many environmental, social, and economic benefits such as improved surface water quality, water conservation, and community safety. Green Infrastructure is a cost effective and resilient approach to managing stormwater. While gray stormwater infrastructure is designed to move stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure treats the water at the source.</small>

| [[Wind Farms in the Sustainable Reserve of Ponta do Tubarão]]

| <small>The Sustainable Development Reserve of Ponta do Tubarão in Brazil was created in 2003. It was created as an aim of protecting the environment from different attempts to develop the area into a tourist resort or simple shrimp hatcheries along the mangroves.</small>

| <small>The Sustainable Development Reserve of Ponta do Tubarão in Brazil was created in 2003. It was created as an aim of protecting the environment from different attempts to develop the area into a tourist resort or simple shrimp hatcheries along the mangroves. The SDR-PT covers about 12,940 sq ft of the areas off the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte in the Guamaré and Macau Municipalities. This area is considered a high-value biological region in brazil, with only little artisanal fishing and collecting shellfish, small scale agriculture, and animal farming. Since 2010 two wind turbine projects started operating in the area, known as Missaba II and Alegria II. The documentation of land operations has been in the works for more than a decade, and habitants of the area are claiming that the windmills have created water scarcity as the ponds are now dry. Other issues to the area include, the wall and line towers constructed disrupt the hydrological connection between rivers and the ocean which inherently affects the fisherman and alters water sands. Inhabitants in the area say that noise and vibrations from the wind turbines have affected animals and birds in the area that have migrated elsewhere. The council from the reserve says that part of the Missaba was built inside turtle nesting areas. Fishermen who live in the area were said to have received compensation for their interruptions, but according to sources they haven't. This project is an interesting situation as wind turbines are seen as good for the environment, yet they are destroying the area and making it inhabitable for most organisms in Ponta do Tubarão in Brazil.</small>

| [[Blue justice]]

| <small>Blue Justice reflects a critical examination of how coastal communities and [[Artisanal fishing|small-scale fisheries]] may be affected by [[blue economy]] and “blue growth” initiatives — initiatives that are being undertaken by institutions and governments globally to promote sustainable ocean development (see the [https://ec.europa.eu/maritimeaffairs/policy/blue_growth_en European Commission Blue Growth initiatives], [http://www.fao.org/3/a-i7862e.pdf FAO blue growth initiative], and the [https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/infographic/2017/06/06/blue-economyhttp World Bank and UNEP 2017 document on potentials of the Blue Economy]). The blue economy is also rooted in the ‘green economy’ and the [[Sustainable Development Goals|UN Sustainable Development Goals]] , underlying sustainable development globally. Blue Justice acknowledges the historical rights of small-scale fishing communities to marine and inland resources, and coastal space, as traditional users for thousands of years in some cases. Thus, as a concept, it seeks to investigate pressures on small-scale fisheries, from other ocean uses, including industrial fisheries and coastal/marine tourism, aquaculture or energy production, promoted in the blue economy and blue growth development agenda, and how it may compromise the rights and the wellbeing of small-scale fisheries and their communities. Below are definitions of Blue Justice offered by the recent academic literature.</small>

| <small>The 2020–21 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season is a future event of the annual cycle of [[tropical cyclone]] and [[subtropical cyclone]] formation. It will begin on November 15, 2020, and will end on April 30, 2021, with the exception for [[Mauritius]] and the [[Seychelles]], for which it will end on May 15, 2021. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical and subtropical cyclones form in the basin, which is west of [[longitude|90°E]] and south of the [[Equator]]. Tropical and subtropical cyclones in this basin are monitored by the [[Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre]] in [[Réunion]].</small>
