"A recent World Meteorological Organization report called heat waves the “deadliest meteorological hazard” from 2015 to 2019, affecting people living on all continents, and setting new national heat records in many regions.

‍Canada’s top weather event in 2021 was British Columbia’s record-breaking heat, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. The temperature in Lytton, B.C., hit 49.6 C on June 29. The following day a wildfire destroyed 90 per cent of the town, killing two people and displacing 1,200 others.

Heat waves also exacerbate existing health issues, including cardiovascular and respiratory disease. They’re associated with increased hospital admissions, psychological stress and aggressive behavior, as well as excess mortality.

During heat waves, the highest temperatures are often found in urbanized areas. Urbanization is almost always associated with an increase in paved, impervious areas, and often a decrease in greenery. Concrete and asphalt roads, and other built materials readily absorb, store and release heat, raising city temperatures, a phenomenon called the urban heat island.

Many studies have shown that urban forests can reduce the urban heat island, and many policies focus their attention on large green spaces.

Small green spaces, such as yards, rooftops and small parcels of undeveloped land, can make impressive contributions to lowering urban heat, but they are often overlooked when developing strategies for urban cooling.

The effect of small green spaces

Cities rarely have the opportunity to add large green spaces to help counter the effects of heatwaves. Smaller vegetated spaces, however, can still meaningfully decrease local land temperatures.

Small green spaces, such as yards, rooftops and small parcels of undeveloped land, can make impressive contributions to lowering urban heat, but they are often overlooked when developing strategies for urban cooling.

A recent study in Adelaide, Australia, found that tree canopy cover and, to a lesser extent, grass cover decreased local daytime surface temperatures by up to 6 C during extreme summer heat conditions. Further inland, suburban yards and gardens can decrease local surface temperatures up to 5 C.

At a quite small scale, on the order of tens of square metres, trees reduced daytime surface temperatures twice as much as grass cover. But grass and other small, low-lying plants, grow relatively quickly, compared to trees.

Cities should adopt short-term and long-term strategies to respond to extreme heat, including the replacement of paved and impervious surfaces with grasses and turf, and increasing tree plantings to boost canopy coverage.

Amplifying the cooling effect

Furthermore, when managing small green spaces, city planners and foresters can select tree species based on their ability to cool the environment. Green spaces with a high diversity of tree species have a greater cooling effect in spring, summer and fall. They also have a larger maximum drop in temperature in the summer, compared to spaces that are less diverse.

For example, tree canopies with large leaves and high transpiration rates — the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves — could provide more cooling.

Planting a variety of species, of different heights, can have a larger cooling effect than tall trees alone.

The structure of green space may also influence its cooling efficiency. In summer, a plant community with multiple layers of trees, shrubs and herbs can further decrease air temperature by 1 C on a sunny day and 0.5 C on a cloudy day, compared with an area only dominated by tall trees...

But overall, trees usually have a stronger effect on cooling than grass. Planting trees in groups, not individually or in lines, is recommended for regulating the microclimate (local climate conditions near the Earth’s surface).

Small green spaces can offer a lot of summer cooling in cities. And cities can learn to manage the configuration of small green spaces better to get more cooling benefits and minimize the trade-offs."

[ad_1] Shubman Gill, Nitish Kumar Reddy with Jasprit Bumrah at the MCG nets (PC: Debasis Sen) Subhayan Chakraborty in Melbourne The Team India think tank is seriously deliberating dropping Shubman Gill, with Rohit Sharma likely to return as an opener for the Boxing Day Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground starting on December 26. If Gill is dropped, KL Rahul could bat at No. 3. Signs of a shake-up were visible during India’s nets session, where head coach Gautam Gambhir, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, captain Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah had a lengthy chat for around 45 minutes near the centre wicket at the ‘G’. Later, Gambhir, Rohit and Agarkar engaged in another 20-30 minute conversation in the nets area, while Bumrah focused on his bowling. It was during these discussions that thoughts over the playing XI were shared, with Gambhir closely inspecting the pitch multiple times. While the think tank considers bringing Washington Sundar into the XI and moving Rohit back to open, either Gill or Nitish Kumar Reddy will lose their spot. The team management will make a final decision on the XI after assessing the pitch on the morning of the match. Rohit hasn’t been at his best since shifting to No. 6 in the batting order, following Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 201-run partnership, which paved the way for India’s stellar win in the first Test in Perth. Rohit in the middle-order in Adelaide and Brisbane was unproductive. Meanwhile, Rahul, as an opener, has been solid, and there’s a belief within the team that he can adapt to any role in the batting order, considering his form and confidence. On Tuesday, Rahul spent a considerable amount of time facing Washington and Ravindra Jadeja at the nets, while Rohit practised against the new ball, leaving many deliveries outside the off stump, hinting he could return to opening. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Shubman Gill with Gautam Gambhir at the MCG nets (PC: Debasis Sen) With temperatures expected to hit nearly 40 degrees on Day 1, the pitch is likely to bake, potentially favouring the spinners. The team is leaning towards including Washington, but the question remains over who will make way for the Tamil Nadu all-rounder, who played in the series opener. Gill, who missed the first Test due to a thumb injury, has scored 28, 31 and 1 in the series so far. While he hasn’t looked out of touch, there’s growing frustration over his inconsistency, particularly in SENA countries. Although Gill isn’t ruled out yet for the Boxing Day Test, his exclusion wouldn’t be surprising. Another possibility is Gill batting at No. 6, if he’s retained. Washington and Jadeja can both bat and bowl, potentially reducing the need for Reddy’s bowling. However, dropping Reddy might be a tad unfair since he has been India’s third-highest run-scorer after Rahul and Jaiswal, with 179 runs in five innings at an average of 44, alongside taking three wickets in 27 overs. India’s likely XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill/Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj. Australia’s XI: Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland.

Large Hadron Collider regularly makes magic

A brotherly research duo has discovered that when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces top quarks – the heaviest known fundamental particles – it regularly creates a property known as magic.

This finding, published in Physical Review D, has implications for the progression of quantum computing, with magic being a measure that describes how difficult a quantum system is for a non-quantum computer to calculate.

���The higher the magic, the more we need quantum computers to describe the behaviour,” explains Professor Martin White, from the University of Adelaide’s School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences, who co-led the study with his twin brother, Professor Chris White, a physicist from Queen Mary University of London.

“Studying the magic properties of quantum systems generates significant insights into the development and potential uses of quantum computers.”

The LHC is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, consisting of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures through which two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide.

The amount of magic exhibited by top quarks depends on how fast they are moving and their direction of travel, all of which can be measured by the ATLAS and CMS detectors that observe the results of the LHC proton collisions.

“Quantum research has long focused on entanglement, which is where particles become linked; however, our work on magic explores how well-suited particles are for building powerful quantum computers,” says Professor White.

“The ATLAS experiment has already observed evidence of quantum entanglement. We have shown that the LHC can also observe more complex patterns of quantum behaviour at the highest energies yet attempted for these kinds of experiments.”

For decades, scientists have strived to build quantum computers that leverage the laws of quantum mechanics to achieve far greater processing power than traditional computers.

The potential benefits of quantum computers are vast, impacting fields like drug discovery and materials science. Harnessing this power requires robust and controllable quantum states, and magic plays a critical role in achieving that control.

"Our research paves the way for a deeper understanding of the connection between quantum information theory and high-energy physics,” says Professor White.

“This discovery is not just about the heaviest particles in the universe, it's about unlocking the potential of a revolutionary new computing paradigm.”

Eco-Friendly Paving Options for the Modern Homeowner

In an age where sustainability is more than just a buzzword, modern homeowners are increasingly looking for eco-friendly solutions that align with their green values. Whether redesigning your garden path or upgrading your driveway, choosing the suitable paving material can significantly impact you. Not only can you reduce your environmental footprint, but you can also create a stunning outdoor space that complements your home.

So, let’s explore eco-friendly Paving adelaide options perfect for the modern homeowner—and yes, we’ll sprinkle a bit of creativity along the way! For more information Visit nearby paving contractors Adelaide.

Why Go Green with Paving?

Let’s face it—traditional paving options aren’t always the most environmentally friendly. Materials like concrete and asphalt often have a hefty carbon footprint and contribute to the urban heat island effect. But here's the good news: eco-friendly paving alternatives are sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.

Permeable Pavers

One of the most popular choices for eco-friendly paving is permeable pavers. These ingenious blocks allow water to pass through them, reducing runoff and promoting groundwater recharge. In Adelaide, where water conservation is crucial, permeable pavers are an intelligent solution.

Benefits of Permeable Pavers:

Water Conservation: Promotes groundwater recharge and reduces runoff.

Erosion Control: Helps prevent soil erosion in your garden or driveway.

Aesthetic Versatility: Available in a wide range of materials and styles.

Recycled Concrete

Why let old concrete go to waste when it can be repurposed into something beautiful? Recycled concrete is a fantastic option for those who want a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly paving solution. By crushing and reusing old concrete slabs, we reduce the need for new materials, reducing CO2 emissions. The rugged texture and natural colour variations of recycled concrete give it a unique charm, perfect for those aiming for a rustic or industrial aesthetic. When considering paving Adelaide properties, recycled concrete should be on your radar for its sustainability and visual appeal.

Advantages of Recycled Concrete:

Environmental Impact: Reduces the need for new raw materials.

Cost-Effective: Often cheaper than new concrete.

Unique Appearance: Adds character with its varied textures and colours.

Natural Stone

For those who crave a more natural look, stone paving is a timeless option that doesn’t compromise sustainability. Materials like sandstone, limestone, and granite are durable and blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. While natural stone does require quarrying, selecting locally sourced materials can reduce transportation emissions. Moreover, stone is long-lasting, which means fewer replacements and a lower environmental impact over time. If you want your paving Adelaide project to stand out while staying eco-conscious, natural stone is a stunning choice.

Perks of Natural Stone:

Longevity: Extremely durable and long-lasting.

Natural Aesthetics: Offers a seamless blend with the environment.

Local Sourcing: Reduce your carbon footprint by choosing a locally quarried stone.

Grass Pavers

Why settle for just pavement when you can have greenery, too? Grass pavers combine traditional pavers' structural support with grass's lush beauty. These honeycomb-like grids are filled with soil and grass, providing a stable surface while allowing grass to grow through the gaps. Grass pavers are excellent for driveways, parking areas, and garden paths. They help reduce heat absorption, support water infiltration, and create a unique, natural look. If you’re planning a paving Adelaide project, grass pavers offer the perfect blend of functionality and greenery.

Highlights of Grass Pavers:

Heat Reduction: Less heat absorption compared to traditional paving.

Green Aesthetics: Blends hardscaping with natural greenery.

Water Management: Promotes water infiltration and reduces runoff.

Conclusion

Choosing eco-friendly paving options is more than just a trend—it’s a responsible and stylish way to enhance your home’s exterior. Whether you opt for permeable pavers, recycled concrete, natural stone, or grass pavers, these sustainable solutions will help you create a beautiful, functional, and environmentally friendly space. As you embark on your next paving Adelaide project, remember that going green doesn’t mean sacrificing style—it means paving the way to a better, more sustainable future.

According to the professionals offering the best removal service in Adelaide, when it comes to packing your items, opt for environmentally friendly alternatives to the usual packing supplies. Instead of using plastic bubble wrap, consider using recyclable packing paper, biodegradable packing peanuts made from sustainable sources or reusable packing blankets. You can also use towels, blankets and clothing to protect and cushion delicate items. These green alternatives help minimise waste and lessen your environmental impact.

Consider Reusable Moving Containers

Think about renting reusable plastic moving containers instead of disposable cardboard boxes. The cheap removalists near Adelaide provide eco-friendly moving box options that are reusable. These plastic containers are sturdy and stackable, eliminating the need for single-use cardboard boxes. Renting these reusable containers and boxes is a smarter choice since they are only used during the move. Be cautious when choosing free-moving boxes, as not all are durable. It might be a smarter move to rent some from environmentally conscious moving companies that advocate for sustainable packing materials.

The Future of Scrap Metal Recycling in Adelaide: A Sustainable Approach to Urban Waste Management

As cities grow and industrial activities expand, the challenge of managing waste becomes increasingly critical. In Adelaide, a vibrant and bustling city in South Australia, scrap metal recycling has emerged as a crucial component of sustainable waste management. This blog explores the significance of scrap metal recycling in Adelaide, its environmental and economic benefits, and how local initiatives are paving the way for a more sustainable future.

The Importance of Scrap Metal Recycling

Scrap metal recycling involves collecting, processing, and repurposing discarded metal materials. Metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and brass are common in urban waste and can be recycled into new products, reducing the need for raw material extraction. This process not only conserves natural resources but also minimizes environmental impact.

Key Benefits of Scrap Metal Recycling:

Resource Conservation: Recycling metals reduces the need for virgin resources, which helps preserve natural habitats and reduces the environmental impact of mining and extraction.

Energy Savings: Recycling metals typically uses less energy compared to producing new metal from raw ore. For instance, recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required for primary production.

Waste Reduction: Proper recycling reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, which helps in managing urban waste more effectively and reducing landfill overflow.

Economic Benefits: The recycling industry creates jobs and supports local economies. It also helps reduce the costs associated with waste disposal and raw material procurement for manufacturers.
