This is first hand information from a construction engineer working scientifically on a novel Greenhouse. This information can not be found anywhere outside of Prototype-Creation’s work, or compared to studies on natural ecosystems. Sea level rise can be reduced, or prevented. Not just in part, but fully. Orchestrated global efforts, but also single outstanding infrastructure projects have the potential to do so. This video pre zents a study on one of the possible infrastructure projects called the Integrated Biotectural System, or short IBTS Greenhouse. Although a multitude of natural and artificial factors already reduce sea levelrise effectively there are no global master plans to amplify these measures. The most potent strategies to reduce sea level rise are the same which reduce greenhousegas emissions and Global warming. The reason for sea level rise is of course Global warming, no matter whether the cause is manmade, natural, or the sun. This document describes an independent study on sea level rise prevention. There is no discussion about sea level rise in terms of prevention or reduction in the scientific, or engineering communities so far but it is not only possible to reduce sea level rise – the various methods like afforestation and greenhousegas reduction strategies have already been in action and successful for many years. It is now time to compare the results and to find ways for scaling up the best methods for greenhousegas reduction and targeted SLR reduction - down to zero. The aim of the study was to find out how much of Ocean sea level rise could be averted by creating salt-water rivers for desert-greening, or “rivers from the sea” like Carl Hodges said, the man behind the Biosphere 2 and the Seawater-farming success in Eritrea. The specific type of desert greening in an aquatic system with seawater is called Mariculture. Multi-Species Mariculture is part of the concept for the IBTS Greenhouse. The IBTS features a Mariculture ecosystem for the production of diverse foods. As the concept is designed for hot arid deserts the ecosystem of choice is the Mangrove forest, or Mangrove swamp. The special characteristic of the IBTS Greenhouse and Desert-Greening concept is that it is suitable for inland deployment. It does not compete with Nature or urban development on the precious coastlines of various contries. The result for sea level rise reduction according to the study including Water withdrawal for Mariculture and Desalination as well as by Carbon Capture shows that only 39,400 km² per year of the IBTS would be enough to stop Global Warming after 48 years and sea level rise immediately. The rate of Carbon Capture in the soil of a mangrove swamp is high. The process keeps on pumping and storing for many years. The accumulation of Carbon in the soil of Mangrove swamps has been recorded to reach 6 meters deep. It is a rather simple calculation to see how much Carbon Dioxide can be captured from the air and safely stored in the soil of the swamp long term. The Methane release from the swamp was considered in the study as well as the storage of Carbon in biomass and the release of Carbon by decomposition and digestion in animals. The study shows that sea level rise prevention and a stop to Global warming are possible by the means already in action all around the world. If the concept of sea-water farming is done right it can be a stand-alone solution. There are millions of square kilometers of desert landscapes around the globe suitable for sea-water farming. Moreover the method of afforestation is safe because mangrove swamps do not burn. Forest-fires are a big contributor to Global warming and afforestation projects are usually prone to setback by wildfires. With the IBTS Greenhouse there is no danger of re-purposing. Any forest or seawater farming system might have to give way for more profitable real-estate development. The IBTS Greenhouse is itself a high input and output piece of real estate and thus safe from landcrabbing and other forms of land re-purposing. Please keep in mind that a Greenhouse is a Controlled Environment, an Engineered Designed Ecosystem and not a natural ecosystem. The discriptive numbers of the systems vary strongly. study: more on mangroves:
