Environmental & Ethical Points of Reference:

Listing those Environmental Organisations & Research/Advisors Published Papers researched for the formation of the working strategy and the “Letter of Logic” of Global Ark Projects – detailed list not inclusive – data also accumulated from any number of total sources for the purpose of clarifying the overall climate predictions and requirement for sustainability in all aspects of our proposals.
N.B. The organisations listed here were used as a point of reference for the original proposals, those used for the full report, and for all subsequent amendments to the proposals are yet to be included in this list.  As soon as possible, we will be adding these to this list, and also dividing them all out into the relevant groups on each of our Ark projects.

http://feww.wordpress.com/2009/01/01/climate-change-earthquakes-volcanic-eruption/ - Fire Earth – Environmental Issues - Climate Change IS Increasing the Frequencies of Major Geological Events - There will be more earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides both on the land and sea floor – quotes... “In a study first published on the web in 2004, NASA and United States Geological Survey (USGS) scientists found that retreating glaciers in southern Alaska may lead to more earthquakes in future. “The study examined the likelihood of increased earthquake activity in southern Alaska as a result of rapidly melting glaciers. As glaciers melt they lighten the load on the Earth’s crust. Tectonic plates, that are mobile pieces of the Earth’s crust, can then move more freely.” [The study appeared in the July 2004 issue of the Journal of Global and Planetary Change.]”
