Hudson River Chain

We are first given a glimpse of the world Rip lives, his homestead and the places he is frequent to, and an elaborate telling of his lifestyle and ways. The second phase is the period by which Rip finds himself amongst Henry Hudson and his men, drinking and playing nine pins. Lastly, it is Rips return to a vaguely familiar yet very different land. In parts one and three, we are given some land marks that give a before and after image of change. We see in Rips arrival into his…

“Markers, Paw-Prints, Hair Dye, and Other Mistakes” I love trying new things. I’m bold. I love the rush of adrenaline you get when taking risks. I love the unknown. I’ve had this mindset for as long as I can remember; I’ve always believed that living a life without being audacious isn’t a life worth having. You need to be impulsive. Try new things without worrying about the outcome, because if you do, you won’t enjoy the little things in life nearly as much. But things can go wrong, and…

boiling the fat to make oil, and using the oil as lamp oil, to create soap. The baleen part of the whale was used for umbrellas and female fashion. Although Giovanni da Verrazano discovered the greater northern river, it was later named the Hudson River as I was credited for making the river known to the Dutch. As soon as the Dutch found out, they colonized New Amsterdam. My work was able to drastically influence North…

and of course, it holds up its name proudly. No one really knows who came up with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

Environmental parameters Vs Plankton Incidents: The graphs presented in figureX to figureX, environmental parameters observed at different sites in each area are presented area wise along with the harmful plankton incidents observed. Average temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity observed each day at each farm site is used to plot these graphs. There has been a notion that with drop in salinity, which means freshwater run off, there would be increase in nutrients and supporting higher…

Due to the flooding in Lower Onion Creek, Eric Rangel, 17, had to drop out of school due to the financial burden that flooding has imposed on his family. The Lower Onion Creek area flooded twice, once on October 31, 2013, and October 30, 2015. Many Lower Onion Creek residents are living in condemned homes five months after the latest flood. Eric Rangel said after the floods, the city condemned his home. His home was no longer inhabitable, and his family had to seek other shelter options.…

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of…

of food? The answer, thousands of years, in “Egyptian artwork from 2000 B.C. shows people fishing” ( Hopkins 6). It is surprising, yet understandable knowing that even ancient people fished. It would of been an easy source of food. The lakes, rivers, streams, etc. were all full of a diverse population of fish, which would of made fish an easy meal to catch and eat. They were the first people to begin fishing so the population of the fishing in the waters would nothing to stop them from…

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…

The formation of Mississippi Deltaic Plain (MDP) requires comprehensive work between the river and multiple coastal scales, such as temperature and space. It is very important to restore the MDP not only because it helps to understand the details that are needed to ensure the sustainability of the delta system, but it also possesses the potential to mitigate future damage from climate change to coastal ecosystem. The contribution of riverine inputs increase accretion and bulk density, benefit…
