Because Carson was hired by Fremont, Carson got to join him on his first expedition, as a guide. Fremont needed to get to the South pass in the rocky mountains, which made Carson the go to guy, thanks to the time of his life that he lived roughly as a mountain man. One of the reasons Christopher "kit" Carson was as a famous mountain was because in one of Fremont reports from the trip, he lifted up Carson as a great guide. Carson and Fremont later went on two more expeditions. Carson went with Fremont in 1843 to survey the Great Salt Lake in Utah, then he went even further west to Fort Vancouver in the Pacific Northwest. Carson even guided the 1845-1846 expedition to Oregon and California, but he then got caught up in the Mexican War. Fremont's original plan ended up turning into a militarized operation.…

It was a pioneer within the UK shipbuilding industry and provided the country with a large quantity of quality ships, before and during the…

Management Of Invasive Species In The Great Lakes Basin Thank you for recommending Ohio State Library but I would suggest using google scholar and science direct. I love both of these search engines and with an Ohio State login they are free. Just wanted to say that in case you wanted to let future students about those informational sources. 1 = The site displays a list of invasive animal and plant species in the great lakes basin since the 1800’s. This also describes the steps that the EPA…

Park #1 Great Basin National Park Nevada Cool Desert Bristlecone pine The Bristlecone Pine has a great root system allows it to capture as much water as it can since there’s not a lot of precipitation in the Great Basin. The needles can be on a tree for 40 years compared to others which only live for the max of five years. This means it can save energy and won’t have to constantly replenish its needles. Bristlecone pines put space between themselves and other trees which is important when…

The Raton Basin In this paper the coal system of the Raton Baton basin will be analyzed and broken down into sections that include, structure and stratigraphy, coal quality, igneous intrusions, coal-bed methane, and the hydrocarbon production within the basin. The purpose of analyzing the Raton Basin is to understand coal diagenesis and the aspects of the basin that affect coal quality and production. Information for this paper has been gathered by several reports published by the United…

In a rapidly evolving world where new discoveries are made in technology on an almost daily basis, it is often important to reflect on the circumstances of the past as they continue to shape events occurring today. The Sea and the Jungle by H. M. Tomlinson can offer the reader an insightful glimpse into the history of Brazil through the lense of fiction, as though peering through the lush foliage of the Amazon rain forest and happening upon the events of an entirely different era of travel and…

Of all the amazing ecosystems in the world among the most impressive are the world’s rainforests. The largest of these rainforests is the Amazon Basin, located in South America. The Amazon is home to an impressive amount of diversity and it’s location in the perfect place on the planet to ensure a wide variety of life. The Amazon basin is one of the most impressive and superb examples of an Ecosystem. An Ecosystem is a complex community of organisms and environment functioning as an ecological…

There are many ways the Brazilian Government can protect the Amazon Rainforest. While it would be ideal to stop the destruction completely, if they were to pass and enforce stricter laws on the amount of deforestation that can occur in a certain amount of time, it would greatly lengthen the life expectancy of the Amazon, and allow for a sustainable deforestation process. An article in Newsweek found that “Between 2005 and 2010, Brazil’s greenhouse gas emissions plunged by 39 percent, declining…

example, in the Amazon around 17 percent of the forest has been lost in 50 years, mostly due to forest conversion for cattle ranching (Deforestation). Likewise, trees are not the only thing we lose, we lose wildlife and not just tiny amount, the more there is deforestation the more wildlife will be affected (17). “About 80 percent of the world’s documented species can be found in tropical rainforests-some of the forests most vulnerable to deforestation. When species lose their forest homes, they…

times more resources than are supplied for us as humans. While these resources are good for us as humans to live off the ones we choose to use are some of the most damaging to the environment. One of the most damaging resources humans overuse is trees. To humans trees supply heat, paper, and more, but to the organisms that live in forests like the amazon rainforest the results are horrific. According to National Geographic 's article Farming The Amazon’ In only the past forty years around twenty…
