When ice caps disappear, the Earth's natural albedo is reduced, causing temperatures to rise. This is a visual representation of why ice is crucial for regulating the planet's temperature. #SRM#ClimateActionNow#oceans#ice#Antarctica#Climatechange#MEER
#MEER is testing desalinator prototypes. Designed using basic discarded materials, making it accessible for anyone to create. It uses solar energy to filter seawater, making it suitable for drinking and agricultural use, and valuable for regions with limited clean water access.
The #MEER team in Freetown continues Crabtown outreach in preparation for sensor installation at our community-scale experimental trial. The team is also recruiting for skills and arts training in the local community.
In #Freetown, black polythene sheeting is used as a shade option. However, this is not an effective solution as it has no cooling benefits. #MEER's reflective materials can improve heat adaptation in markets suffering from thermal intolerance.
Allowing heat to escape through radiative cooling at night is crucial. We're developing passive techniques to facilitate this and provide ventilation for homes. Achieving comfortable temperatures throughout the day and night will enhance thermal comfort throughout.
@matabolome@MEERsrm stopping evaporation is more or less covering it, so you increase the yield of the power plant. on the other side you reduce the water movement, cool the water and air, so less methane emissions and atmospheric thirst for water https://t.co/PlEz6Rzo84
