SUMMARY:APECS Italy: Climate, humans and the environment: a lengthy history
LOCATION:Venice\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:How was the Climate in the past? How have humans changed it since the dawn 
 of civilization to today? How are scientists studying climate change? These
  are the questions that our section “Climate, humans and the environment: a
  lengthy history” will be addressing via an interactive journey beginning 8
 00,000 years ago until today, seeking to analyze the human impact on climat
 e and the environment by taking advantage of the research carried our by th
 e laboratories of the University of Venice Ca’Foscari and of the CNR-IDPA.\
 nAs part of the "Night of Research" event on September 29th at the Universi
 ty of Venice Ca'Foscari, we will be presenting an educational itinerary org
 anized in three stands:\n\n• Climate of the past\n• Human impact on the Env
 ironment\n• Sampling and monitoring in remote and urban areas\n\nUsing educ
 ational activities, each of these stands will explore certain aspects of th
 ese themes.\nThe stand “Climate of the past” will discuss how ice cores fro
 m Antarctica are used to create climate reconstructions based on research c
 arried out by the laboratories of Via Tornio, thanks to a collaboration bet
 ween the the University of Venice Ca’Foscari (DAIS) and the CNR-IDPA. Visit
 ors will learn the basic principles surrounding ice core analysis, what inf
 ormation they can provide us with, and what analytic techniques are involve
 d. There were also be an interactive section where an “articifial ice core”
  will be presented, as well as some basic laboratory experiments.\nThe stan
 d “Human Impact on the Environment” will simulate for visitors of all ages 
 the impact of deforestation carried out by the first human beings to arrive
  to the Pacific islands using printed materials to create a simplified mode
 l of a forest and lake. Visitors will also be shown a sediment sampler and 
 an example of a sediment core in order to explain how we measure the presen
 ce and the impact of humans using molecular markers present in lake bed sed
 iments\nFinally, at the stand “Sampling and monitoring in remote and urban 
 areas” visitors will be able to try their hand at using a high-volume sampl
 er to study atmospheric particulates. They will be shown real filter sample
 s from polluted urban areas and will be able to compare those with samples 
 from remote areas. Furthermore, as part of this activity, visitors will be 
 shown some examples of automated sampling systems provided by the weather-c
 limate monitoring station of Col Margherita (BL). The activity will allow v
 isitors to interact with sensors (for temperature, humidity, light, sounds,
  etc.) in real time and see what effect their actions have using a graphica
 l interface on a screen. Visitors will have the opportunity to get to know 
 hardware-software technologies of the “internet of things”, which are essen
 tial to the functioning of real-time monitoring systems in indoor and outdo
 or settings: from simple systems used in the home to advanced systems used 
 to monitor the environment in remote areas.\nMore info (in Italian): http:/
