The project is pursuing a 5- Star Green Star (Australian Excellence) rating project for two premium residential towers for which the Task Force is providing all ESD, building and structural services, including a Green Star Accredited Professional to facilitate the certification process.
Cardno worked with the UK government (DFID) to provide technical assistance and support for the implementation of a Climate Smart Programme. The program assisted SADC (Southern African Development Community) RVAA (Regional Vulnerability and Assessment and Analysis) PMU (Programme Management Unit) to manage and implement DFID’s support to SADC RVAA Strategy to enhance regional and national responses to climate change, poverty and livelihood vulnerability.
Managed the biological and cultural consulting and engineering services to First Solar for the purposes of constructing and operating a 250MW photovoltaic (PV) solar generating facility and associated infrastructure on tribal and federal lands. – Kenya Climate Information Prize. Dr. Wolf used this project to advance integration with other “renewable” market projects in the US and abroad. Aid Advisory Services Standing Offer Panel – Climate Change. The Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) contracted the Task Force to provide specific, technical expertise focused 9 on climate change. The objective of the panel was to assist the Australian aid program to achieve its goals related to climate change by contributing to aid policy development; program delivery and effectiveness; ensuring that aid advisory services were based on international good practice; and assist the Australian aid program to keep up with current trends and developments in the climate change technical space.
Cardno completed a CIA and natural resource surveys to aid in the identification of potential jurisdictional waterways along the project right of ways and conducted on-site wetland delineations, collecting and cataloging important data dealing with wetlands and waterbodies within the 14,000- acre footprint. Dr. Wolf provided business development, client services and strategic planning for Cardno’s ESG, Sustainability and Climate Program as a Senior Manager. He also led the Global Business Development and Client Services Task Force.
Cardno a key environmental consultant for the project and conducted a desktop review of 2,400 acres. Supporting permit compliance, agency coordination, public outreach, and construction monitoring (based on certificate condition and Ohio EPA requirements). Dr. Wolf provided business development, client services and strategic planning for Cardno’s ESG, Sustainability and Climate Program as a Senior Manager. He also led the Global Business Development and Client Services Task Force.
The city in revising the Coastal Management Element of their Comprehensive Plan to evaluate risks of stronger storm events and sea level rise has resulted in the need to adapt redevelopment and development in vulnerable areas and to help the city plan for a more resilient and sustainable future. Dr. Wolf provided business development, client services and strategic planning for Cardno’s ESG, Sustainability and Climate Program as a Senior Manager. He also led the Global Business Development and Client Services Task Force.
Quantified direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from construction, maintenance, and operations at the Salton Sea and evaluated impact significance in accordance with state guidance. Six project alternatives were evaluated, each requiring a 2-year construction period, in addition to ongoing operations and maintenance. Construction and maintenance emissions estimates included diesel- powered earthmoving equipment, portable pumps and generators, and on-road vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks. Indirect GHG emissions from permanent electrically powered water pumps were also quantified. Cardno prepared a detailed power mix analysis to determine expected GHG content of electric power purchased from the local irrigation district. Dr. Wolf coordinated with project management staff as part of building Cardno’s Global ESG, Climate and Sustainability business line.
While Keith was a Senior Environmental Manager, Cardno was a member of a consortium carrying out regular reviews and the final evaluation of the activities and impact of a DFID-Funded, cross-sectorial, financing mechanism supporting environment and climate change initiatives that further Rwanda’s development objectives for environmentally sustainable, climate resilient and green economic growth. Dr. Wolf provided business development, client services and strategic planning for Cardno’s ESG, Sustainability and Climate Program as a Senior Manager and led the Business Development and Client Services Task Force.
Keith evaluated the effects of past and future trends in temperature and discharge in the Okanogan River on the migratory performance of the Upper Columbia River population of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). Fish of lower condition exhibited disproportionately higher mortality during the spawning run, elucidating a critical link between energetic condition and a fish’s ability to reach the spawning grounds. We evaluated habitat conditions and spawning migrations in the population from the time of entry into the Okanogan River to arrival on the spawning grounds (about 1,200 km upstream). The thermal TIR and LiDAR output indicates relatively high interannual variability in habitat quality, quantity and in ecosystem integrity in recent years related to unusually high discharges (e.g., 1997) and warmer than average water temperature (e.g., 1998). We examined how global climate change might affect discharge, water temperature, and the energy used by sockeye salmon during spawning migration.
Through 2024, enhancing the capacity of PNG’s public and private sectors to regulate and mitigate the effects of logging, mining, unsustainable subsistence and commercial agriculture and fishing, as well as other factors that endanger PNG’s position as one of only 17 megadiverse countries in the world. Using an incentive-based approach, we addressed the failures in cooperation and mutual support between and government institutions which has allowed drivers of threats to biodiversity grow unchecked.
