CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO VINCULOS INTERNACIONALES El Presente CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO VINCULOS INTERNACIONALES El presente documento, contiene notas informativas sobre el tema de Cambio Climático, mismas que se han publicado a lo largo del mundo, durante el año 2014, por lo que se ponen a disposición de la comunidad en general. Research casts alarming light on decline of West Antarctic glaciers For two decades, scientists have kept a close watch on a vast, icebound corner of West Antarctica that is undergoing a historic thaw. Climate experts have predicted that, centuries from now, the region’s mile-thick ice sheet could collapse and raise sea levels as much as 11 feet. Now, new evidence is causing concern that the collapse could happen faster than anyone thought. New scientific studies this week have shed light on the speed and the mechanics of West Antarctic melting, documenting an acceleration that, if it continues, could have major effects on coastal cities worldwide. Twin papers this week show that the rate of ice loss from West Antarctica is increasing — with the acceleration particularly pronounced in the past decade — and also why this is happening: Warmer ocean waters are pushing up from below and bathing the base of the ice sheet. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/research-casts- alarming-light-on-decline-of-west-antarctic-ice- sheets/2014/12/04/19efd3e4-7bbe-11e4-84d4-7c896b90abdc_story.html http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/world-news/63871503/West- Antarctic-ice-sheet-melt- acceleratinghttp://www.veooz.com/news/2HxKfbm.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2861090/Polar-ice- melting-quicker-thought-cause-sea-levels-rise-disastrous-levels-study- claims.html http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/historic-thaw-in-antarctica-may- have-major-effect-on-coastal-cities/ar-BBgl755 U.N. weather agency: 2014 on track for hottest year AP LIMA, Peru — With temperature data showing 2014 currently tied for the hottest year on record, the U.N. weather agency on Wednesday rejected claims that global warming has paused.The World Meteorological Organization said the global average temperature in January-October was 1.03 Fahrenheit above average, the same as in record hot year 2010. The ocean temperature set a new record in the nine-month period, while land temperatures were the fourth or fifth highest since record-keeping began in the 19th century, the WMO said in a report released at U.N. climate talks in Lima and at its headquarters in Geneva. "The provisional information for 2014 means that 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have all occurred in the 21st century," WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said in a statement. "There is no standstill in global warming." http://www.columbian.com/news/2014/dec/04/un-weather-agency-2014- on-track-for-hottest-year/ http://www.aikenstandard.com/article/20141203/AIK0106/141209751/10 02/AIK01/un-weather-agency-2014-on-track-for-hottest-year http://p.news-journalonline.com/article/20141203/NEWS/141209819/- 1/OPINION0103 http://www.independentmail.com/news/un-weather-agency-2014-on- track-for-hottest-year http://www.pantagraph.com/news/world/u-n-weather-agency-on-track- for-hottest-year/article_202afd4c-4faf-590e-8005-57ff7cfcd0db.html http://www.norwichbulletin.com/article/20141203/NEWS/141209858/199 4/NEWS http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/entertainment/05-Dec-2014/2014-on- track-to-be-the-hottest-year-ever http://www.houmatoday.com/article/20141204/WIRE/141209798/1026/n ews01 http://www.examiner.org/newsx/ap-news/43778-un-weather-agency- 2014-on-track-for-hottest-year http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/climate/un-warns-as- 2014-shapes-up-as-hottest-year/story-e6frg6xf-1227145279476 http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2014/12/04/news/national/847251.txt http://www.the-review.com/editors%20pick/2014/12/04/u-n-weather- agency-says-2014-on-track-to-be-hottest-year http://www.heraldandnews.com/news/ap_news/on-track-for-hottest- year/article_4bcce354-7b7b-11e4-a176-3fc9462a5cae.html http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/un-weather-agency-2014- on-track-for-hottest-year-on-record/story-fnjww4q8- 1227144386046?nk=c157df5b13828579d6338e65ea43298d 2014 on track to be hottest year on record, World Meteorological Organisation says The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) says 2014 is on track to potentially be the hottest year on record. The WMO's provisional statement on the global climate found that record sea surface temperatures were likely to make this year one of - if not the - hottest on record. It found the global air temperature between January and October was about half a degree above the pre-1990s average. Sea surface temperatures were also at their highest ever levels, around half a degree above the 1961-to-1990 average. Oceans absorb much of the excess heat trapped in the atmosphere, and the WMO said large areas of southern and western Australia were especially warm. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-04/2014-on-track-to-be-hottest- year-on-record/5939566 http://www.climatecentral.org/news/wmo-warns-lima-delegates-2014- may-be-hottest-year- 18392?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WMO+2014+Temp+Update&ut m_content=WMO+2014+Temp+Update+CID_913b05408273832ce5073006e dc01851&utm_source=CC%20Monthly%20Newsletter&utm_term=Our%20 Coverage http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/hottest-year-on- record-as-climate-talks-heat-up-20141203-11zfcc.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-2859232/2014-set-worlds- hottest-year.html http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/2014-to-be-hottest-year-ever- measured/ http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2014/12/recent-global- warming-trends-significant-or-paused-or-what/ http://www.freenewspos.com/en/europe-news- article/b/1339243/fashion/the-year-2014-hotter-than-normal-except- north-america-world-body-says http://africagreenmedia.co.za/report-on-global-warming-says-2014- hottest-yet/ http://www.nzherald.co.nz/climate- change/news/article.cfm?c_id=26&objectid=11369064 http://www.sentinelsource.com/news/mct/likely-to-be-hottest-year-ever- un-meteorologist-warns/article_b33b55a9-ebce-5022-9816- 516e228ae8eb.html http://en.chinagate.cn/2014-12/05/content_34235640.htm http://www.iol.co.za/scitech/science/environment/2014-could-break-heat- record-1.1790522#.VIGaIDHF_5w French L'OMM ANNONCE 2014 RECORD DE CHAUD L'Organisation météorologique mondiale fait du teasing avec le climat de l'année 2014. Et annonce qu'elle sera très probablement record de chaleur planétaire... de manière à bien informer les diplomates qui sont en ce moment même réunis à Lima (Pérou) pour la 20ème COP, la Conférence des Parties de la Convention Climat de l'ONU. D'où cette précipitation, puisque les températures des mois de novembre et décembre ne sont pas encore connues. Toutefois, l'OMM ne prend guère de risquesavec son annonce. Les dix premiers mois de l'année sont en effet au plus haut du podium, et rien ne laisse prévoir une chute brutale pour les deux derniers mois. L'OMM note de surcroît que ce nouveau record est très significatif car le phénomène El Niño, souvent en cause pour expliquer les années records, a tout juste pointé son nez depuis quelques mois, mais de très peu (voir le graphique ci-dessu, fondé sur la moyenne des mesures de la NOAA, de la Nasa et du Centre Hadley ). En revanche, il pourrait accentuer encore le record dans les mois qui viennent. http://sciences.blogs.liberation.fr/home/2014/12/lomm-annonce-2014- record-de-chaud.html http://www.planetaazul.com.mx/site/2014/12/04/2014-possiblement- lannee-la-plus-chaude-jamais-enregistree/ http://www.mediaterre.org/international/actu,20141204161524.html http://www.actualites-news-environnement.com/33338-annee-2014- chaude.html http://www.ouest-france.fr/climat-record-de-temperature-pluies-et- inondations-exceptionnelles-pour-2014-3026221 http://www.veooz.com/news/2HxKfbm.html http://www.medias24.com/INTERNATIONAL/150980-Climat-records-de- temperature-pluies-et-inondations-pour-2014.html http://www.saint-nazaire.maville.com/actu/actudet_-climat-record-de- temperature-pluies-et-inondations-exceptionnelles-pour-2014_54135- 2672178_actu.Htm http://www.ouest-france.fr/climat-record-de-temperature-pluies-et- inondations-exceptionnelles-pour-2014-3026221 Spanish El 2014 podría ser el año más caluroso de la historia El dato surge de estimaciones de la Organización Meteorológica Mundial, en su presentación en Lima, Perú.

  • Next-Gen Technology Transformation in Financial Services
    April 2020 Next-gen Technology transformation in Financial Services Introduction Financial Services technology is currently in the midst of a profound transformation, as CIOs and their teams prepare to embrace the next major phase of digital transformation. The challenge they face is significant: in a competitive environment of rising cost pressures, where rapid action and response is imperative, financial institutions must modernize their technology function to support expanded digitization of both the front and back ends of their businesses. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 situation is putting immense pressure on technology capabilities (e.g., remote working, new cyber-security threats) and requires CIOs to anticipate and prepare for the “next normal” (e.g., accelerated shift to digital channels). Most major financial institutions are well aware of the imperative for action and have embarked on the necessary transformation. However, it is early days—based on our experience, most are only at the beginning of their journey. And in addition to the pressures mentioned above, many are facing challenges in terms of funding, complexity, and talent availability. This collection of articles—gathered from our recent publishing on the theme of financial services technology—is intended to serve as a roadmap for executives tasked with ramping up technology innovation, increasing tech productivity, and modernizing their platforms. The articles are organized into three major themes: 1. Reimagine the role of technology to be a business and innovation partner 2. Reinvent technology delivery to drive a step change in productivity and speed 3. Future-proof the foundation by building flexible and secure platforms The pace of change in financial services technology—as with technology more broadly—leaves very little time for leaders to respond.

I hope that you find it useful in your search of a property here in Paradise. Our mantra here at Ricardo Amigo Real Estate is: “WE GET WHY YOU’RE HERE!” I write this in our ads, attach it to our handouts, and repeat it at staff meetings because I want you, as a buyer, to know that my team and I have all been through this experience, and the common thread be- tween all of us is that we wanted a different way of life than what we knew. The inspiration to make the change to live here full- or part-time, or to just invest in the Todos Santos area to have something for the future, comes from that peaceful and tranquil feeling that envelops you when you are here... I felt it immediately on my first visit, and two months later, I came back to stay. It has now been almost 18 years and I can gratefully say that this feeling prevails as a part of my daily life.

  • Summary of 2013 Atlantic Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Activity And
    SUMMARY OF 2013 ATLANTIC TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY AND VERIFICATION OF AUTHORS' SEASONAL AND TWO-WEEK FORECASTS The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was much quieter than predicted in our seasonal outlooks. While many of the large-scale conditions typically associated with active seasons were present (e.g., anomalously warm tropical Atlantic, absence of El Niño conditions, anomalously low tropical Atlantic sea level pressures), very dry mid-level air combined with mid-level subsidence and stable lapse rates to significantly suppress the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. These unfavorable conditions were likely generated by a significant weakening of our proxy for the strength of the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation/Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation during the late spring into the early summer. Overall activity in 2013 was approximately 30% of the 1981-2010 median. By Philip J. Klotzbach1 and William M. Gray2 This forecast as well as past forecasts and verifications are available via the World Wide Web at http://hurricane.atmos.colostate.edu Kortny Rolston, Colorado State University Media Representative, (970-491-5349) is available to answer various questions about this verification.

    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 20, EGU2018-10186, 2018 EGU General Assembly 2018 © Author(s) 2018. CC Attribution 4.0 license. Insights into the Oxidation State of Arc Magmas from the Xenolith Suite Sangeang Api Volcano, Eastern Indonesia. Ben Cooke, John Foden, and Alan Collins University of Adelaide, Earth Science, Adelaide, Australia ([email protected]) At ∆logQFM +2.5 ± 1 arc magmas are significantly more oxidized than MORB (∆logQFM 0 ± 0.5, Cottrell and Kelley, 2011). The origin of this oxidized state remains controversial, either due to oxidation of the mantle wedge source, or to processes operating as these volatile-rich magmas ascend to upper lithospheric pressures? Sangeang Api is an active volcano in the eastern Sunda Arc in the strait between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores. Its lavas are shoshonitic with silica undersaturated alkalic composition and transport abundant co-genetic, cumulate pyroxenite and gabbroic xenoliths. Lavas and xenoliths all contain pargasite to Mg-hastingite amphibole. Applying the formulations of Ridolfi, et. al. (2012) these yield a continuous range of pressure estimates from 975MPa to 340MPa representing crustal level crystallisation from the Moho at 34km up to 12km. Temperature estimates (1072-976˚C) and water content (6.51 to 3.15wt.% ) both decline continuously with depth. fO2 estimates range from ∆NNO+0.2 to +1.2 and show an initial trend of oxidation from the Moho up to ∼ 500MPa and then dominated by lava’s phenocrysts revert to a trend of reduction at the shallower depths. Cl in amphibole increases from the Moho up to 500MPa and then abruptly declines.

Almost 800 years after the eruption, the geomorphological impact of this eruption on the island of Lombok remains unknown, whereas its overall climatic and societal consequences are now better understood. A combination of stratigraphic information, present-day topography, geophysical measurement with two-dimensional resistivity profiling technique, local written sources, as well as laboratory and computational analysis, were used to obtain detailed information concerning geomorphic impacts of the 1257 CE eruption of Samalas volcano on the coastal area along the Alas Strait in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This study provides new information related to the geomorphic impact of a major eruption volcanic in coastal areas, in this case, on the eastern part of Lombok and the western coast of Sumbawa. In the first place, the study result shows that since the 1257 CE eruption, the landscape on the eastern part of Lombok is still evolved until the present time.

    MET SG/18 - IP/17 Agenda Item 7.4 06/08/14 International Civil Aviation Organization EIGHTEENTH MEETING OF THE METEOROLOGY SUB-GROUP (MET SG/18) OF APANPIRG ICAO Regional Sub-Office, Beijing, China 18 – 21 August 2014 Agenda Item 7.4: Research, development and implementation issues in the MET field 7.4 Advisories and warnings VAAC DARWIN MANAGEMENT REPORT (Presented by Australia) SUMMARY This paper presents the VAAC Darwin Management Report which addresses the main features of the IAVW operations, highlighting any recent developments and difficulties and future planned developments. 1. Introduction 1.1 The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) Darwin is responsible for monitoring the area from the Andaman Islands (India) eastwards to the Solomon Islands including the volcanically active Indonesian archipelago, Papua New Guinea and the southern Philippines. More than 150 active volcanoes lie within the area, some of which have given rise to the largest eruptions in human history. Areas within the region have poor communications and general infrastructure, incomplete volcanic monitoring and are characterised by moist tropical convection that makes remote sensing difficult for much of the year. 2. Discussion 2.1 A total of 1511 Volcanic Ash Advisories (VAA) were issued by VAAC Darwin from the 1st of July 2013 to the 30th of June 2014 (see Figure 1). During this period the most significant ash events within the VAAC Darwin area were the high level eruptions of the volcanoes Sinabung in February 2014, Kelut in February 2014 and Sangeang Api in May 2014 (see Figures 2 and 3).
