Transcript. Welcome to “What’s Up With Water,” your need-to-know news of the world’s water from Circle of Blue. I’m Eileen Wray-McCann. In research news, a study has found that lakes across the Earth’s middle latitudes are being starved of oxygen, threatening aquatic life with suffocation. The study was published in the journal Nature. It showed that oxygen levels in lakes are decreasing, caused by a combination of factors.

Hurricanes Harvey and Maria. California wildfires. Superstorm Sandy. The great Texas blackout. The list goes on. These mega-events dramatize the need to improve our disaster response system. The trends are striking: escalating disaster impacts, more disaster clustering, more disaster cascades, and less predictability. We need to up our game. Lisa Grow Sun and I discuss the implications in a new paper , but here are a few of the key takeaways.

Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

A compelling alternative explanation for what astrophysicists believe is the largest black hole merger measured to date has been put forth by two astronomers in Germany. Alexander Nitz and Collin Capano at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics argue that the gravitational wave GW190521 created by the merger could have been triggered by a stellar-mass black hole spiralling into a far larger body.

The magnetometers found in some smartphones could allow devices to be used to create a distributed space weather observatory. That is the conclusion of NASA’s Sten Odenwald , who has studied the ability of four popular models of smartphone to detect small disturbances to Earth’s magnetic field. Following the advent of the iPhone model 3GS in 2009, which contains a 3-axis Hall-effect magnetometer chip, such sensors have become commonplace in smartphone and some other consumer devices.

Devices known as optical rectennas show considerable promise for renewable energy because they can harvest energy from heat and convert it into electricity. Their chief drawback is their low efficiency, which makes them impractical for large-scale use. Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder, US have now found a way to boost this efficiency, paving the way for optical rectennas that can generate useful amounts of electrical power from waste heat.

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) has now released its early season algae bloom forecast for Lake Erie and predicts a bloom that will be smaller than last year’s, but also slightly more severe. NOAA is predicting this year’s bloom, on a scale of 1-10 will be less than 4.5 but it could be as bad as 6.5. Blooms that have a severity of greater than 5 are more likely to impact drinking water sources.
Speaker: Laurie Schoeman Director, Climate & Sustainability, Capital

Air pollution is one of the major health and environmental concerns in cities. However, another concern that’s plaguing cities is the invisible threat called noise pollution. Although it sounds harmless, the European Environment Agency says that long-term exposure to noise pollution can cause 12,000 premature deaths and 48,000 new cases of ischemic heart disease annually in Europe alone.
