Ozone Layer is Recovering, But Water Cycle is Becoming Erratic, Says WMO #worldresearchawards #researchawards


 The ozone layer that protects human and animal health from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation continues to be on track for recovery in the coming decades, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in its latest report released this week.

In 2024, the ozone hole was smaller when compared to the previous years. This was partly due to the natural year-on-year fluctuations and partly due to the success of policies put into place to aid the recovery of the ozone layer.

“Forty years ago, nations came together to take the first step in protecting the ozone layer — guided by science, united in action,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres. “The Vienna Convention and its Montreal Protocol became a landmark of multilateral success. Today, the ozone layer is healing. This achievement reminds us that when nations heed the warnings of science, progress is possible,” he said.

In another report also released this week, WMO, the UN agency that monitors atmospheric science, found that the world’s water cycle is growing more erratic, oscillating from extremes of drought to deluge.

In 2024, only about one-third of the global river basins had “normal” conditions, WMO’s State of Global Water Resources report found. The rest were either above or below normal for the sixth consecutive year.

Canal-well conjunctive irrigation integrates surface water from canals with groundwater from wells to optimize water resources for agriculture. This approach addresses the limitations of relying solely on one source, such as seasonal variations in canal water supply and groundwater depletion due to over-extraction. By balancing these resources, it ensures year-round irrigation, enhances crop yields, and improves water-use efficiency. It also reduces waterlogging and salinity in canal-irrigated areas while mitigating groundwater overuse in arid regions. This innovative practice is crucial for sustainable water management in regions facing increasing demand for irrigation amidst limited water availability. #sciencefather #WaterManagement #SustainableWater #WaterConservation #IrrigationSolutions #ConjunctiveIrrigation #SaveWater #EfficientIrrigation #WaterSustainability #GroundwaterRecharge #WaterResources #ClimateResilience #IntegratedWaterManagement #WaterSecurity #EcoIr...

sciencefather | Lung Cancer Survivorship Clinic A Success Story #scienc...

Image
Lung cancer survivorship clinics have emerged as vital resources, addressing the unique needs of individuals who have successfully battled lung cancer. These clinics provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care that extends beyond the completion of treatment, focusing on long-term health, quality of life, and emotional well-being. Survivors benefit from personalized follow-up plans, including regular screenings, management of treatment-related side effects, and support for mental health and lifestyle changes. The success of these clinics lies in their holistic approach, integrating oncologists, pulmonologists, nutritionists, and counselors to ensure that patients thrive in their post-cancer journey. By fostering resilience and promoting wellness, lung cancer survivorship clinics exemplify how dedicated care can transform survivorship into a testament of strength and hope. #sciencefather #CancerSurvivorship #SurvivorStrong #LifeAfterCancer #CancerSupport #CancerSurvivors #Cance...

sciencefather | Biofilms More Than the Sum of Their Parts! #sciencefath...

Image
Biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that adhere to surfaces and are embedded in a protective extracellular matrix. These structures can be composed of bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microorganisms, and they form on a variety of surfaces, both in natural environments and industrial settings. Biofilms play a crucial role in many biological and ecological processes, including nutrient cycling, wastewater treatment, and bioremediation. They also present significant challenges in medicine and industry, as biofilm-associated microorganisms are often more resistant to antibiotics, disinfectants, and environmental stresses than their planktonic counterparts. Understanding the formation, structure, and function of biofilms is critical for developing strategies to control harmful biofilms, such as those found in chronic infections and on medical devices, while also harnessing their beneficial applications in biotechnology. The ability of biofilms to exhibit collective behaviors...
