NEWS - Unökologische Rodung von Mangroven in Ghana
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Muntaka Chasant/Shutterstock (12653763b)
With fisheries in Ghanaian waters collapsing, wetland and coastal communities in the southeast of Ghana harvest mangrove wood to sell for firewood. This mangrove forest degradation has led to a loss of biodiversity in the region. Mangroves protect shorelines from storms and floods, prevent erosion, and provide essential habitats for thousands of species. As a blue carbon ecosystem, mangroves also sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass and sediment. Harvesting these incredibly important ecosystems could release significant greenhouse gas emissions.

NASA: Roiling Flows on Holuhraun Lava Field, Iceland, Sep 2014
MANDATORY CREDIT: /Jesse AllenNASA/Rex Features. Only for use in story about NASA.
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Jesse Allen/NASA/REX (4103955a)
As an island in the moist, atmospherically turbulent North Atlantic, Iceland is often shrouded in cloud cover and hard to observe from space. And lately, the island is making some of its own cloud cover, as the Earth has split open between the Bardarbunga and Askja volcanoes and spewed lava and hot gas.
The view of the Holuhraun lava field has been spectacular from the ground and from low-flying aircraft. Infrared imaging makes the view spectacular from space, too.
On September 6, 2014, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this view of the ongoing eruption. The false-color images combine shortwave infrared, near infrared, and green light (OLI bands 6-5-3).
Ice and the plume of steam and sulfur dioxide appear cyan and bright blue, while liquid water is navy blue. Bare or rocky ground around the Holuhraun lava field appears in shades of green or brown in this band combination. Fresh lava is bright orange and red.

Third Place. Propagate Skyscraper: Carbon Dioxide Structure. YuHao Liu, Rui Wu (Canada)
2014 eVolo Skyscraper Competition - Mar 2014
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/opw3
These stunning constructions could grace the city skylines of the future.
They are the amazing entries in the internationally-renowned eVolo Magazine 2014 Skyscraper Competition.
Jaw-dropping concepts range from mushroom-like structures in the desert (Sand Babel) to a seemingly crumpled city structure (Infill Aquifer).
The first place was awarded to Yong Ju Lee from the United States for his project "Vernacular Versatility". The proposal reinterprets traditional Korean architecture in a contemporary mixed-use high-rise.
eVolo Magazine received 525 projects from 43 countries in all continents. The Jury, formed by leaders of the architecture and design fields selected 3 winners and 20 honourable mentions.

BRAZIL Climate Change
Cattle graze in Castelo de Sonhos, Altamira, Para, Brazil, on Monday, October 15, 2007. Global warming is caused by excess greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In Brazil, these gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2), are released by deforestation and forest fires, which are responsible for 75 percent of Brazils' emissions. The country is the fourth largest climate polluter in the world. About one-fifth of the worlds' greenhouse gas emissions are caused by forest destruction.
