GLOBAL DIMMING
When we see the increase in global temperatures, there is always that conspicuous absence of warming from 1940s – 1970s. Scientists have since discovered that there was a decline of sunlight reaching the earth during this period; they called it “Global Dimming”. Since there is no direct correlation with CO2 during this period, some climate […]
Draft
Write a draft on our section of the project that should be about two or three pages of text based on your assigned section of the paper. You should all have the same introductory paragraph and conclusions. The “body” paragraphs should be your part of the paper. You should have a reference page that lists […]
Cancer Clusters
RESEARCH CANCER CLUSTERS AND FIND ONE OF INTEREST OR CONCERN TO YOU. MAKE SURE DATA ARE AVAILABLE THAT APPEAR TO JUSTIFY THIS BEING AN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUE AND NOT JUST RANDOM “BAD LUCK”. DOES THE DATA COLLECTED SEEM SOUND BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT RANDOM SAMPLING AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS? ANY CONCERNS ABOUT BIAS? […]
Poster Topic For Climate Change
Have a look at the list of possible Poster Topics (attached) or think of your own topic that you would like to know more about by the end of this class. Pick out a few topics of interest and search the web to see which have information that will be easily accessed to be able […]
Pollution
Recycling can have a great, positive impact on the environment by reducing deforestation, emissions from power and processing plants, and pollutants released into the environment. Consider an aluminum can. To make this from scratch, the bauxite ore must be mined, cleaned, ground into a powder, treated to get alumina, and then refined and heated to […]
Deforestation Proposal
a case work cited (APA Deforestation Case I have decided to conduct my case study on the issue of Deforestation. This is an issue that has been around for quite a while and it is vastly getting worst. Though the issue of Deforestation is happening everywhere it seems to be very prominent in certain areas […]
Environmental Concepts Case Study
Case Study: Application of Environmental Management Concepts: By this time in the course, you would have seen an overview of global ENMT issues, and examined integrative and international perspectives to environmental management. You would have also read about specific cases that demonstrate the need for an integrative approach to ENMT. As part of your authentic […]
Hazard Analysis
Using the hazard analysis tools identified in the classroom, conduct a hazard analysis of your community. Based on your analysis, write a 5–10 page paper describing the high and moderate hazards you identified. Follow these steps: Identify and characterize the hazards Evaluate each hazard for severity and frequency Estimate the risk Determine the societal and economic (direct) […]
Ecosystem Structure And Function
Ecologists group together the living things in an ecosystem by their feeding habits. Producers use photosynthesis to make food by harnessing the energy of sunlight. Consumers eat plants and each other. All organisms produce waste that is recycled by decomposers. The interactions of these organisms create a food web. Humans often disturb ecosystems for their […]
Human Populations And The Environment
Have you ever seen an ad, picture, or clip on the news of a developing country and wondered, “What’s it like to live like that?” Your answer might be based on actual experience if you lived in that country, or you might form your opinion by reading about conditions in different types of countries or […]
Soil and Water
1. Briefly describe the structural differences between hematite and goethite. Why does climate affect the relative amounts of these two minerals in soils? 2. Describe how the surface charge characteristics of hydrous oxides and 2:1 layered phyllosilicates differ. 3. Exactly why would kaolinite make a better sorbent for nonpolar organic molecules than smectite or vermiculite? […]
Ecosystem
1. Estimate your approximate C footprint for one year that includes all major trips. We suggest that you choose the year beginning in 1 May 2018 and that extends to the end of the school year on 30 April 2019 (project into the future). Start by specifying your location and dates that you resided there. […]
