CLIMATE DEBATE GETS ITS ICON: MT. KILIMANJARO
from The New York Times (Registration Required)
Kilimanjaro, the storied mountain that rises nearly four miles above t=
he
shimmering plains of Tanzania, is beginning to resemble the spotted owl =97
at least in the way it has become a two-sided icon in an environmental
debate.
The owl first entered the spotlight 15 years ago, in fierce debate ove=
r
clear-cutting of ancient Pacific forests. Millions of acres were placed off-
limits to logging when the bird was listed as threatened under the federal
endangered-species law. Soon afterward, effigies of it began showing up on
the grilles of logging trucks.
Kilimanjaro's majestic glacial cap of=20
11,000-year-old ice has long captured
imaginations the world over, so it was not surprising that
environmentalists focused their attention on it when scientists reported in
2001 that glaciers around the world were retreating, partly as a result of
global warming caused by emissions of heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases from
smokestacks and tailpipes.

PENGUIN-CAM SNAPS AMAZING IMAGES
from BBC Online
Scientists have obtained amazing images of penguins interacting with e=

backs.
Observing genuine underwater behaviour in marine birds and mammals is
tricky because the presence of a diver nearby can make the animals act
unnaturally.
By attaching cameras to the penguins, the scientists could see that th=

NASA USES A "SLEUTH" TO PREDICT URBAN LAND USE
NASA PRESS RELEASE RELEASE: 04-101
According to NASA-funded researchers, developed land in
the greater Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area is
projected to increase 80 percent by 2030. Scientists used a
computer-based decision support model loaded with NASA and
commercial satellite images to simulate three policies
affecting land use.
The researchers, Claire Jantz and Scott Goetz, from the
University of Maryland, College Park, Md., and the Woods
Hole Research Center, Woods Hole, Mass., also found a 39
percent increase in developed land in the region from 1986
to 2000. Some of the most striking changes occurred around
the Dulles Airport area in Northern Virginia.
Observations from NASA and commercial Earth observation
satellites were used in a United States Geological Survey
(USGS) computer model, called SLEUTH. The model was applied
to 23,700 square kilometers (9151 sq. miles) of the
Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area. The initial aim was
to simulate the impact of future policy scenarios on the
area and Chesapeake Bay watershed. "The satellite
observations provided us with an unprecedented ability to
monitor the urbanization process and capture the patterns of
urban sprawl," Goetz said.
The study is in the March issue of Environment and Planning
B. It explains how models may be used to forecast the
effects of urban growth and runoff on the Chesapeake Bay
estuary system.
The study showed how high resolution commercial imagery from
Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite can be used to complement
NASA's imagery from Landsat satellites. IKONOS images, with
resolutions up to one meter (3.28 feet), were used with
county-level air photos to link to 30-meter Landsat
observations, which cover vast areas and offer a longer time
frame for assessing urban change.
The project was designed to study declining water quality in
the Chesapeake Bay estuary due in part to disruptions in the
hydrological system caused by urban and suburban
development. The goal was to create a modeling system that
could assess future development and support decision making
by exploring the potential impact of different regional
management scenarios. Future growth was projected out to
2030 using three different policy scenarios. The scenarios
were based on current trends, managed, and ecologically
sustainable growth.
The current trends scenario simulated how the Washington
metropolitan area might change if development policies
remained the same. This scenario included forest and
agricultural preservation already in place, leaving
unprotected areas open for development. In this scenario,
development increased by 80 percent by 2030.
The managed growth scenario assumed added protection of
forests and agriculture areas and placed moderate growth
boundaries around already built areas. In this scenario,
development increased by 30 percent by 2030. In the
ecological scenario, strong protection of most forests and
agricultural areas was projected, so development only
increased by 20 percent by 2030.
"The model is a tool that can be used for land use planning
and resource management," Jantz said. "It offers the ability
to explore and visualize alternative futures."
The model is applicable to land use studies, and it has
small to large-scale potential. It can also help decision-
makers assess the configuration of landscapes in forests and
urban areas, and understand sources of runoff related to
water quality in streams. The Maryland Department of Natural
Resources is exploring use of the model to target forest
resources, restoration and conservation activities.
NASA's Earth Science Enterprise is dedicated to
understanding the Earth as an integrated system and applying
Earth System Science to improve prediction of climate,
weather, and natural hazards using the unique vantage point
of space. NASA funded the study, with additional funds from
the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is seeing
new life after lying dormant in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for
a decade. Former Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) opposed the treaty and kept
it bottled up in the committee under his chairmanship, never allowing
UNCLOS to escape onto the Senate floor, where a two-thirds majority vote
is needed for ratification. When Helms retired, Senator Richard Lugar (R-
IN) stepped in as chair, held two hearings on the treaty last Fall, and move=
d
the treaty out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a 19-0 vote on
25 February.
Despite the unanimous committee vote, and support for the treaty expressed
in the hearings by the State Department, the Defense Department, the U.S.
Coast Guard, industry representatives, and ocean experts, it is unclear
whether Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) will move the treaty
towards a full senate vote. Scientists in favor of ratifying the treaty nee=
d
to express their views now, to their senators and to Majority Leader Frist, =
or
risk missing a rare opportunity where the political winds are blowing in the
treaty's favor.
Why is the treaty important to the ocean scientists? It is generally
acknowledged that much of what the marine research community wants to
do is already covered under UNCLOS procedures (namely, to obtain
foreign clearances for ships). Without a ratified treaty, however, U.S.
research efforts in the future could be seriously damaged by denying the
U.S. important rights for dispute settlement, and exacerbate the uncertainty
of clearing ships seeking to conduct research in the Exclusive Economic
Zones (EEZ) of other countries.
The "implied consent" clause within UNCLOS, for example, deems a ship
clearance application approved unless the coastal state in question responds
with a question or refusal within a specified time. Exercising rights under
that one clause could greatly streamline the process for conducting research
cruises off foreign shores. Trying to take advantage of "implied consent"
without a ratified treaty is negotiating from a position of weakness,
however, and working through international organizations is often
problematic. For ocean researchers, many observers point out, there is no
conceivable downside to ratifying the treaty, and several potential upsides.=
Once the treaty reaches the senate floor, it most likely will garner the
required 67 votes for ratification. But getting to the vote is the question=
,
and it is unclear whether Senator Frist has heard from enough of his senate
colleagues, and from interested members of the public, to move forward.
If scientists want to take action, it is best to=20
