EVENING STANDARD - An index of the Standard's CleanTech-10 rebased to the start of the
original green energy boom in the summer of 2006 finds that the stock
prices of the 10 companies almost doubled within a year and stayed at
inflated values until last summer despite most being start-up
lossmakers with few if any revenues. Read More

HURRYET - The discovery of an Ottoman place of worship creates the latest
obstacle in the progress of the Marmaray Project. The regular discovery
of historic artifacts and places along the planned route has resulted
in frequent delays. The discovery of an Ottoman place of worship has slowed down
excavations on the ambitious Marmaray Project and once again created
uncertainty about the route the tunnel will take. Read More

FINLAND ENV - The Finnish Forest Research Institute, The Finnish Environment
Institute and University of Helsinki are the organizers of the
international ecosystems conference BIOGEOMON in Helsinki, from 29 June
to 3 July 2009. This time the conference deals with issues like the
sensitivity of nature to climate change on the global and regional
levels, circulation of carbon, impacts of bioenergy production on
nature, and interactions between forests and the atmosphere. Read More

ALL AFRICA - The project aims at improving transportation between Kenya and Ethiopia
for the benefit of both countries and the region. On completion, the
project is expected to reduce transport and shipping costs between
Kenya and Ethiopia; reduce transit time for imports and exports; and
increase the volume of Ethiopian goods transiting through the Mombasa
Port in Kenya. Read More

CBS4Denver -- U.S. Forest Service officials say they're using $150,000 to start a GPS
survey of beetle damage in Bridger-Teton National Forest. Foresters say
the forest contains some 400,000 acres of whitebark pine, but the
species is declining because of beetles and the blister rust fungus. Read More

 Complex
problems need integrated and coordinated solutions. Globalisation and
sustainable development are the biggest challenges that we need to
face and solve. Territories, regions, cities and towns with different levels
of development have similar problems, especially when policies and
strategies are converging. However, small and medium size cities do not have similar avenues for comunicating with the European Union. Their needs are often more localised and highly oriented toward regional cultures.

 Building design can significantly impact energy efficiency and can result in substantial reductions in operating costs over the lifecycle of a building. To achieve these benefits, new software tools are being developed that help designers and building architects to model building performance at the critical design stage. Design changes can be readily evaluated prior to construction for performance efficiency. EcoDesigner is a next generation design tool that brings
energy efficiency to the forefront of architectural design.

 In Part II of 'Beneath the Surfaces: The Hidden Elegance in Parametric Design' architect Don Chong continues to discuss the fuss over 'parametric design' and 'computational
design', based on his observations at the Bentley SmartGeometry conference in San Francisco recently. His attention turns to design data and the development of design tools in real-time.

 Most technologies to visualize and manipulate three-dimensional models create an environment that’s just two and a half dimensions. Holographic imaging technology promises to provide a display that projects an image that can be manipulated in the full three dimensions. One company that’s working diligently to develop this technology is Zebra Imaging. V1 Editor Matt Ball spoke with Michael Klug, CTO and co-founder, to discuss the progress and potential for this technological breakthrough for geospatial visualization.

 The high severity and increasing frequency of major flood events
worldwide has driven flooding up the political and risk management
agenda. David Martin, Technical Manager of flood risk assessment and
modelling consultants Ambiental discusses the development of a new flood modelling system that is being in the UK and how it can be deployed through the use of Cloud Computing using the internet and the advantage of this approach.

 So,
what's the fuss over all of this 'parametric design' or 'computational
design', you ask? Or, really, isn't the honeymoon over for yet another
provocative shape and how to apply efficient facets of a beautiful
surface onto a new building? Better yet, shouldn't there be more to
'parametric design' in the overall design process – especially given
today's economic and environmental climate? Architect Don Chong attended the recent Bentley SmartGeometry conference in San Francisco and writes about the many impressions and thoughts it generated in this first of a two-part article.

 Spot Image has been building and operating satellites since 1986. The company can point to a large archive of 20 million satellite images covering the planet and several operating satellites currently together with partnerships adding imagery from KOMPSAT, FORMOSAT and ENVISAT. Recently the company's shareholder structure changed as EADS Astrium assumed majority ownership. This has resulted in a larger company under that name with Spot Image joining Infoterra to form a earth observation working group. These changes have compelled the group to offer advanced web services for its products and services in addition to other changes. Vector1 Media editor Jeff Thurston reports in the first part of the conference coverage.
