Great to be part of this Panel discussion at the #MEW2024 event in Swansea. Key points from my perspective, with a particular focus on The Crown Estate Round 5 process. - We already know lots about key consenting issues. We just need to access and apply this learning in a sensible and pragmatic way. - For existing and future key issues, strategic level studies should be the primary mechanism to resolve them (whilst recognising that project-level studies will also play a key role). - Collaboration is key. From optimising stakeholder engagement to methods of data collection to approaches to assessment.

Presenting research at the AEHS West 33rd Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, and Air is an exhilarating opportunity, particularly when it involves groundbreaking work on a topic as critical as the impact of warfare on environmental health. This year, we have the privilege to share our study on the issue of heavy metal soil contamination on Iwo Jima's Invasion Beach, a site of immense historical significance from WWII, renowned for its distinctive black volcanic sand. Our research delves into a largely unexplored area, despite the beach's popularity and the common practice of collecting its sand as war mementos. The core of our investigation focuses on examining the heavy metal composition of the sand and debris through XRF analysis, a technique that promises to shed light on the potential contamination risks these souvenirs may pose. Through a detailed review of existing scientific literature on volcanic sands and the analysis of soil samples from areas affected by war, we aim to provide a thorough understanding of how warfare can leave a lasting mark on soil quality and contribute to contamination. Our study is not just a scientific inquiry; it's a call to action. We underscore the critical need for adopting sustainable and accurate armaments to reduce the ecological impact of warfare. While it may seem a distant goal to eliminate warfare entirely, minimizing its environmental consequences is an urgent and achievable aim. The contemporary context of ongoing conflicts, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza, makes our research not only relevant but vital. We advocate for further exploration into sustainable alternatives, like biodegradable ammunition, to foster environmentally responsible warfare practices. In conclusion, our presentation at the AEHS conference is not merely a dissemination of our findings but a message of the imperative to understand and mitigate the impacts of warfare on soil contamination. It's an exciting platform to highlight the necessity of sustainable practices in preserving our planet for future generations, making this opportunity not only thrilling but deeply meaningful.
Get ready - we are a month out from AEHS West! Enjoy 19 sessions, 9 workshops, poster presentations, exhibits, luncheons, and socials. This prestigious event has united 500-600 environmental professionals annually for over three decades, fostering a sense of community and igniting groundbreaking collaborations.

In a week time Piotr Magnuszewski and Michalina Kułakowska will hold a session at the Project Management Institute Poland Chapter. The "better is the enemy of the good" syndrome can hinder change and transformation. Social simulations offer a solution by providing a practical experience of future scenarios, fostering awareness of the consequences of inaction. The workshop for the PMI will be divided into three parts. It will include a gameplay excerpt, an introduction to simulation tools, and case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of simulations in various change projects.
🌟 Exciting News! Join us for a captivating session at the Congress 👉 www.congress.pmi.org.pl with Piotr Magnuszewski who is about to take you on a journey into the world of 'Social Simulations as a Tool for Building Awareness in Change.' 🤯 Piotr, the co-founder and scientific director of the Centre for Systems Solutions (Poland), and a research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Austria). Don't miss this unique opportunity to dive deep into the realm of social simulations and discover how they can transform your perspective on change. See you at the Congress! 🚀

Rivers are Life began with the concept that like-minded businesses, educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and collaborators could come together to be the collective voice for rivers and help move the needle for river sustainability. We are proud to be working with some genuinely world-changing partners like Louisiana State University Center of River Studies, who make our community possible. Learn more about them in our film "Voices from the Water:" https://bit.ly/3Q0XEko
