We’re a team of four, from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) course. We have come together to participate in the Sterling Web Design Competition on ‘How Engineering can Address the Challenge of Global Warming’

Our group consists of;

  • Norashikin - Web Design, Research
  • Jessie Poh - Research, Editing of info
  • Nur Syafiqah - Research, hand-drawn art
  • Nur Fazlina - Research, Editing of info

We were encouraged by our Ecology lecturer, Mrs. Mariam Mathew who gave us a problem on Iron Fertilization. Also known as the Geritol project, Iron fertilization focuses on application of a novel idea to mitigate anthropogenic greenhouse effect and the resulting Global Warming effect. We learned a lot while exploring and reviewing information for this site - we now have a better idea of the concept and consequences of the phenomenon of Global Warming, and more importantly, what mankind can do to harness science, engineering and technology before it is too late.

[Thinking of a career in management of climate change?]

Although some of us have had done some simple web designing before, taking a crash course helped us to put up this website. To avoid copyright issues, we resorted to drawing some of the diagrams by hand. Being CEE students, this competition has helped us to understand the environment better, an area in which we will be learning in-depth as we progress through our 3 years in polytechnic.

[What is the Greenhouse Effect?]

Kyoto Protocol

It is a historic agreement to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Objective:
• Countries to commit to reduce their collective emissions over the next few years, or engage in carbon trading if they maintain or increase emissions of these gases.
• To reduce total global emission by 5.2% by the year 2012
• To prevent dangerous anthropogenic inference with the climate system.
