S3E17 - A Climate Modeller's Truth on the Controversial Project of Iceberg Harvesting
with 🎙️ Alan Condron, Scientific Researcher and Climate Modeller at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
💧 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world's leading, independent non-profit organization dedicated to ocean research, exploration, and education.
What we covered:
🍏 How Iceberg drift in oceans can be modeled and what can be learned from it
🍏 How large an Iceberg shall be upon arrival in Cape Town, to cover 20% of the city's water needs
🧮 How that Iceberg would behave all along a towing route that would lead it from Antarctica to South Africa
🍎 How challenging it would be, to harvest the Iceberg's water upon arrival
🔍 The ecological impacts of an Iceberg tow
🍎 The bigger picture around Day Zero and Water Scarcity in arid places in the world, like Cape Town
🔍 How the ecological impacts of a one-time tow are probably negligible while the consequences of a repeated commercial-scale activity would have to be studied
🍏 How a successful proof of concept would enable verifying theory and possibly build the suited infrastructure to extract the best out of the Iceberg.
🍎 How an Iceberg tow to Dubai is a different game than a southern hemisphere destination
🍏 The financial equation of an Iceberg towing project, the scientific approach that would enable us to learn from the first tow, Nick Sloane's project... and much more!

"Mfano wa ""Mfano wa Hali ya Hewa"" ni utafiti wa Iceberg Harvesting na Alan Condor, Mtafiti wa Sayansi na Mfano wa Hali ya Hewa katika Taasisi ya Oceanografia ya Woods Hole, ambayo ni shirika la kimataifa la utafiti wa bahari, utafiti na elimu." "Kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu, ""Mlipuko wa barafu katika bahari unaweza kuigwa na nini kinaweza kujifunza kutoka kwake"" ""Mlipuko wa barafu utakuwa mkubwa kiasi gani wakati wa kuwasili Cape Town, ili kufunika 20% ya mahitaji ya maji ya mji?"" ""Mlipuko wa barafu utajiendeshaje kwenye njia ya kuvuta ambayo itaongoza kutoka Antarctica hadi Afrika Kusini?"" ""Ni changamoto gani kuvuna maji ya barafu wakati wa kuwasili"" ""Mapato ya kiikolojia ya kuvuta barafu karibu na picha kubwa ya Siku ya Zero na Upungufu wa Maji katika maeneo ya kavu kama Cape Town.""" <unk> Jinsi ya kuvuta Iceberg kwenda Dubai ni mchezo tofauti na marudio ya hemisphere ya kusini <unk> Mlinganisho wa kifedha wa mradi wa kuvuta Iceberg, mbinu ya kisayansi ambayo ingeweza kutuwezesha kujifunza kutoka kwa kuvuta kwanza, mradi wa Nick Sloane... na mengi zaidi! <unk>... na bila shaka, tulimaliza na maswali ya moto wa haraka <unk> <unk>️ Kupata Hadithi kamili (ikiwa ni pamoja na infographic na maandishi kamili) hapa: https: www.show.show/a-climate-modellers-truth-on-the-controversial-project-of-iceberg-harvesting <unk> Powered by Aus/ha
