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…

visit Alaska, there are different things here in Alaska, theres different animals here such as Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, Wolf, Fox, Rabbits, Brown Bears, Birds, Muskox, Caribou, Moose, Fishes, and Birds. These would include landforms, climate, hydrology, vegetation, and animal life. Human characteristics would include buildings, stores, offices, communications systems, and transportation systems…

“the physical circumstances and conditions that influence the conduct of operations throughout the domains of air, land, sea, and space. The defining factors of the land domain are complex terrain, including urban settings, weather, topography, hydrology, and environmental conditions.” This variable is a variable I think sets the stage for some of the others. If the physical environment is not conducive, then the economy is not stable and the infrastructure for the region would harder to…

peer-reviewed article, oceans and Great Lakes, are a source of food, employment, recreation, and residence. Yet, it is the first from natural and man-made disasters. The coastal areas are impacted through pollution because of changes in land use and hydrology. Massive amounts of sewage amongst other wastes enters daily. This is how humans become exposed to microbial pathogens. The ocean and estuarine ecosystems influence the way humans are exposed to the microbial pathogens. These pathogens…

right idea way before we did. They made things work, made things happen, and it is incredible. The Ceque system is a mnemonic map system that incorporated the sky and was used to unify Inca ideas about religion, social organization, calendar, hydrology, and astronomy (156). huacas, or sacred places in the landscape that could allow a sacrifice to go down properly. These places were very important for the Incas, here was a total of 328…

Since the beginning of the industrial era carbon dioxide or CO2, concentrations have been dramatically increasing. Today we are facing the highest amounts of CO2 in our atmosphere and in our oceans in over 650,000 years. There are a great deal of effects increased CO2 concentrations will have on this planet. When the ocean absorbs CO2 chemical reactions occur that eventually reduces their pH, carbonate ion concentration, and saturation states of important calcium carbonate minerals. This is…

Construction of channel and levees are used to modify wetlands for flood control, drainage, mosquitoes control, irrigation, timber harvest, navigation transportation and industrial activity all increases the speed of water and also changes the hydrology of the wetlands. Louisiana has become a “sacrifice zone” for the countries’ energy…

Unfortunately, there is a misconception that wetlands are wastelands, despite their value to our environment, society and economy. Our wetlands are threatened by numerous activities. Global Warming Global warming has the potential to alter the structure and function of our wetlands. Sea level rise threatens to inundate many coastal wetlands, with little room to move inland because of coastal development. Warmer water from global warming will alter the species composition and contribute to…

of mangroves is to use the concept of Community-based Ecological Mangrove Restoration (CBEMR), this restoration process is based upon the fact that mangrove forests self-repair. Therefore CMBER will primarily focus on the re-establishment of the hydrology that will facilitate this natural regeneration…

Peat Instability and Landslide Impacts Peat instability, either naturally or caused by human activity, can have a major impact on peatlands integrity. Assessing the likely impacts is extremely important for several reasons, not least that the hydrology of the wider peat body and the vegetation depending on it relies on the peat body remaining intact. Large scale movement of peat has been attributed to wind farm development, most notable during wind farm construction in Derrybrien, Ireland in…
