For an Administration hellbent on unilaterally dictating energy policy in the name of climate change, the President's actions work against his so-called purpose.
PORT MAYACA, Fla. (CBS12) Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Jacksonville District will execute a temporary, minor deviation to the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule April 20-21 as part of the ongoing study by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to find ways to indirectly measure sediment and nutrients transported from the lake to the estuaries. The deviation will allow up to 5,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) flow from structures for short periods of time for up to 8 hours on April 20 at the Moore Haven Lock and Dam (S-77) and April 21 at the Port Mayaca Lock and Dam (S-308). USACE executed a similar deviation in February to support the same study and expects to do so again in May. This study will help develop a better understanding of how different release schedules may influence nutrient/sediment loading to the estuaries.

Beginning April 5, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources conducted a joint intensive carp-harvesting operation with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to remove invasive Asian carp from Pool 8 of the Mississippi River. Pool 8 extends from Lock and Dam 8, located near Genoa, Wis., upstream to Lock and Dam 7, located near Dresbach, Minn.
The effort used the innovative Modified Unified Method (MUM) that combines netting and herding techniques to drive and concentrate invasive carp from a large area of water into a small zone for removal. The two agencies say this is the first time the MUM method has been used in Minnesota or Wisconsin waters, and the first time it has been used anywhere as an early detection and rapid response technique. Other partners include the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Google Earth has added a time-lapse feature to the popular platform, providing a glimpse into how climate change, urbanisation and deforestation have altered the planet over the last four decades.
Created with 24 million satellite images, along with 800 curated videos and interactive guides, the feature allows users to see a time-lapse of any place on the planet, using inputs from the NASA, US Geological Survey s Landsat program and the European Union s Copernicus program.
