Abstract: Forest fires are one of the most important causes of environmental alteration in Mediterranean countries. Discrimination of different degrees of burn severity is critical for improving management of fire-affected areas. This paper aims to evaluate the usefulness of land surface temperature (LST) as potential indicator of burn severity. We used a large convention-dominated wildfire, which occurred on 19-21 September, 2012 in Northwestern Spain. From this area a 1-year series of six LST images were generated from Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) data using a single channel algorithm. Further, the Composite Burn Index (CBI) was measured in 111 field plots to identify the burn severity level (low, moderate, and high).Evaluation of the potential relationship between post-fire LST and ground measured CBI was performed by both correlation analysis and regression models. Correlation coefficients were higher in the immediate post-fire LST images, but decreased during the fall of 2012 and increased again with a second maximum value in summer, 2013. A linear regression model between post-fire LST and CBI allowed us to represent spatially predicted CBI (R-squaredadj>85 %).After performing an analysis of variance (ANOVA) between post-fire LST and CBI, a Fisher ' s least significant difference test determined that two burn severity levels (low-moderate and high) could be statistically distinguished. The identification of such burn severity levels is sufficient and useful to forest managers. We conclude that summer post-fire LST from moderate resolution satellite data may be considered as a valuable indicator of burn severity for large fires in Mediterranean forest ecosystems.

Abstract: Energy resources are the drivers of modern economic development. It is a critical input in most production processes, its demand in the Indian economy outstrips its supply, and hence, its inefficient use can push input prices upwards and add to inflation. In view of its importance, the paper focuses on the temporal variations in inter-and intra-sector consumption of energy resources, temporal variations in energy efficiency of the sectors and the linkages of the energy sectors with other sectors. The energy sectors considered are coal and lignite, crude petroleum, and natural gas and electricity. The input-Output tables of 1993-94, 1998-99, 2003-04, and 2007-08 are used. For comparison, the matrices are converted to 60 x 60 and the values are converted to constant prices at 2004-05.The results of analysis show the changing energy basket used in production, highlights the more and less energy-efficient sectors and the linkages of the energy sectors with other sectors of the Indian economy.

Keywords: Aggregating, micro-grid, nano-grid, projects, scale, off-grids, solar, practitioner ' s perspective.
Abstract: Despite solar being an ideal solution for energy access in off-grid communities, the common deployment models of solar lanterns and small home systems have not quite achieved the type of scale seen in the grid-tied sector. Mini-grids and micro-grids are promising deployment models for scale as they serve a much higher number of customers per installation. Beginning in 2013, Gham Power initiated a number of pilot projects in Nepal to test the feasibility of this model. These experiences led to a focus on two specific configurations-a micro-grid model to power entire villages or communities of 100 or more households each, with majority of the load coming from anchor tenants; and a nano-grid model for communities of 20-30 households in a cluster, powering only predefined direct current (DC) loads. These projects have large environmental gains. The project ' s three micro-grids, for example, replace 4546 KL of potential diesel and kerosene usage, curbing 41 tons of CO2 emissions per year. Since individual micro-grid sizes are still relatively small, project aggregation is a must in order to bring institutional investment to these projects. To achieve this, the authors call for the provision of open standards-based tools and templates from off-grid project development.

Title: Modern design principles for investable village power projects.

Subject: Boiling Point
Keywords: Modern, design, principles, investable, village, power, projects.
Abstract: The article revisits a 15-year-old Boiling Point article, which explored village electrification cost reductions that could be achieved by banning the use of incandescent bulbs and utilising compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and light emitting diode (LED) lighting technologies. These so-called ' expensive ' lamps reduce power generation from 100 W per house to 5-30 W per house, saving 30-50 % in lighting cost-per household but increasing the cost per kW. The article explores Nepal ' s current subsidy policies, which still discriminate against efficient designs and non-reticulated power systems, such as solar home systems and centralized soar charging stations, as compared to mini-grid costs. The former (non-reticulated power systems) average US $ 25-50/W of LED lighting while mini-grids have a minimum cost of US $ 50 per house and reticulation wiring costs of US$1-2/m. As households in Nepal are often spaced 30 metres apart, it is concluded that non-reticulated designs should be used for up to 3W of LED lighting per house, while mini-grids are more cost-effective when demand exceeds 3W per house and house spacing does not exceed 15m/W of demand. Payback periods for mini-grids are estimated at 2-10 years with longer payback periods in South Asia than Africa or the Pacific. Investor tolerance for risk is limited to 1-3 years and hence dominates which technology can be applied. A staged approach to investing in village mini-grids, using an initial non-reticulated system to install lamps and house-wiring first, followed by an investment in reticulation later, would ' build the grid backwards ' and help manage investors ' perceived risks.

Keywords: Powering, Myanmar, Brighterlite ' s, Solar home systems.
Abstract: Brighterlite has started a distribution of solar home systems in Myanmar, using a fee-for -service business model. Only-one-fourth of Myanmar ' s population has grid access today and mobile networks have developed much quicker than the electricity grid has expanded. The off-grid mobile charging delivered by Brighterlite is therefore in demand. The business concept solves two major problems for customers at an attractive price: the risk related to buying poor and cheap equipment, and the large investment barrier for buying high-quality equipment. Brighterlite estimates that each solar home system will reduce around 0.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, if kerosene use is the baseline, and many households will reduce or stop using kerosene, a petroleum product, for lighting. With 7-9 % of the kerosene converted to almost pure black carbon (a highly potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 3200 times that of CO2 over a 20-year horizon).Brighterlite ' s solution will also substantially reduce environmental and health impacts of households ' energy use.

Abstract: Access to clean energy has clearly emerged as a focus of the global development community in the recent past. At the same time, the market for decentralized renewable energy (DRE) has grown at an unprecedented pace and thus holds momentous promise for universal energy access. Access to finance is widely accepted as a major challenge given that the private sector views decentralized energy as much riskier than other alternative, straightforward investment options. This article presents the experiences from Bijli-Clean Energy for All initiative that has demonstrated the use of grants to catalyse financial and institutional innovation among existing stakeholders within the Indian DRE sector. The programme has supported different delivery models to implement innovative financing mechanisms including end-user financing, trade-financing, working capital as well as debt collateralization. The article identifies access to affordable debt as key bottleneck in scaling up energy access through DRE. The author highly recommends creation of a futuristic and innovative debt financing facility that would energy as the go-to agency for India ' s DRE financing needs in the future.

Abstract: Globally 1.4 billion people lack access to electricity. This is almost a fifth of the world ' s population. But energy demand is rapidly increasing, driven by economic growth and a growing population. Consequently an increase of greenhouse gas emissions leads to climate change-a continuing challenge for human development. Decentralised renewable energy offers an ideal platform to leave behind fossil fuel based energy production and addresses some of the challenges posed by climate change. The link between decentralized energy and climate change must be explored in order to understand these twin sustainable development challenges and the need to prioritise these issues at the global scale.

Despite visits by numerous tourists over many years, including a number of geologists, we report here for the first time our observation of polished and striated rock surfaces of probable glacial origin. In the absence of any direct dating method for these features, the question arises: what is their most likely age and what are their implications for the climatic history of South Australia?

Abstract: Deep seismic reflection data is collected around the world n order to image the structure of the crust. Two-dimensional seismic data can be processed in a variety of ways, each technique permitting investigation of different aspects of the data and thus of the geology the line is transecting. A focus of deep crustal seismic surveys has been to investigate the nature of the lower crust, the geometry across the Moho, or the geometry of paleosuture zones between crustal blocks (Hammer et al. 2010; Kennett et al. 2013).The processing methods that are applied to image the Moho at depths of 30-50 km can smooth over higher order reflectivity features in the upper crust .For example, the application of a low-pass filter emphasizes continuity between individual seismic traces, which enhances consistency between individual traces to produce a ' smooth ' image.

Abstract: In late November 2015 the Department of State Development released a mining proposal template, program for environment protection and rehabilitation (PEPR) template and supporting minerals regulatory guideline for quarries in South Australia with defined impacts.
The templates were developed to streamline the approval process for small-scale quarry operations seeking an extractive minerals lease (EML) while still satisfying all legal requirements.
To apply for an EML using the mining proposal template, prospective applicants must first determine whether their proposed mining operation is considered eligible against a set of criteria. The criteria are designed to define potential environmental or third-party property impacts associated with the proposed mining operation.

Abstract: Sedimentary transport can lead to cover sequences containing detritus that is lithologically, mineralogically and geochemically exotic to the underlying bedrock. Such a cover sequence effectively conceals the geochemical properties of the underlying bedrock. A critical component in understanding how effectively the cover masks the bedrock is the link between the source, or provenance of the sedimentary material, and the site of deposition. This is intimately linked to the paleogeography and the sedimentary history of the detritus.

Abstract: Portia is an unusual gold deposit which presented unique challenges to bring into production. Its discovery and development is a case history of patience, persistence and considerable innovation. It presented many contradictions. The gold is coarse grained and can be recovered in a simple gravity plant, yet this causes serious ' nugget ' sampling problems and difficulties in estimating gold resource grades. It lies beneath 75 m of barren clay over burden that is soft and easy to dig, but presents pit wall stability problems.
