I am back enjoying sharing what I find interesting in the worlds of environmental monitoring and adaptation, data engineering, and software engineering...even the occasional post about outdoor fun and my day job at #UKCEH. @kitmacleod.bsky.social.

Farewell friends,☹️to be leaving Twitter after 10 years on this key knowledge exchange platform. I will gradually start using mastodon.scot/@KitMacleod. Twitter has been great for keeping up with tech env news, learning about your work, was an impt social geodata research tool.

Revere and Respira are already working with landowners in the Cairngorms with a view to issuing the first carbon credits under this facility during the current year. Revere and Respira believe that this work will encourage other landowners to use this.

Fascinating to hear about ecometric's soil carbon MRV working with Respira International to sell Blaston farm's voluntary carbon credits @BBCFarmingToday @JYeluripati @aitkenhead_matt

Yes important list of potential headline indicators, scored according to their level of development and the
capacity-building requirements
We’re delighted the Expert Workshop on the monitoring framework for the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework identified our indicator of the global environmental impacts of consumption as a potential headline indicator for #COP15 to consider adopting!🧵

Impressive message: renewable are the cheapest, renewable deployment is staggering, need to flip to exploit near-free power (the data centre must “dance with the grid”), so FLOPS per watt is not necessarily the only way to decarbonise. Found through @gsfcommunity podcast Ep1 thx.
TOMORROW: Don't miss this groundbreaking discussion with Andrew Grimshaw on decarbonizing HPC and AI/ML computation presented by the Dell HPC Community! dellhpc.org/events/32066

We don't want #greensoftware to turn into a buzzword, nor do our member organizations.
We have accomplished a considerable amount this year. For #COP27, join us on November 10th to hear the latest innovations and milestones to decarbonize software: grnsft.org/decarb-cop27/gsf/…

To address this 22% wedge of global emissions, the SBTi FLAG Guidance:
A whole sector approach covering all corporate land-related emissions removals across ag forestry
11 mitigation pathways for major commodities with significant carbon footprints incl. beef, chicken, dairy etc

Today, we’re launching the world’s first standard target setting guidance for companies in the forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) sectors, covering corporate land-related emissions and removals.
🧵Here’s why this is so important.

Secretary General António Guterres was speaking in New York ahead of a major climate conference in Egypt.
"There has been a tendency to put climate change on the back burner," he said. "If we are not able to reverse the present trend, we will be doomed."

If interested in learning #iOS #SwiftUI development, then @twostraws #100DaysOfSwiftUI is excellent. Several marathons..a grounding in how #Swift simplifies development compared to #UIKit..a massive expanse of old and new APIs to understand and use to unlock amazing iPhone APIs.
