Many people dream of just getting a job that gives them a lot of money. Most of the time they don’t even like their job. I am different I picked a job that I would love to do even if the pays low. I am determined to reach my career goal. My long term career goal is to become a marine biologist. I have been interested in training sea animals. To be able to be good in the work environment you have to be used to the strange smells that come from the animals, also you have to like and be good at…

I have seen that Huxley’s classes clearly reflect the interdisciplinary nature of environmental science, with elements of political science, economics, biology, ecology, oceanography, and chemistry, just to name a few. A well-rounded Huxley education will advance my learning and experience not only in environmental chemistry, but also in those many other fields. If accepted, I will contribute to Huxley and to the field of environmental…

California. Thankfully, as Tom Garrison states, a science professor, "In 1994, the International Whaling Commission voted overwhelmingly to ban whaling in about 21 million square kilometers around Antarctica, thus protecting most of the large whales." (Oceanography: An Invitation…

The most important lesson I have drawn from the reading is it is not only important but necessary to understand the history of an organization to better be able to understand the events and issues that are current problems, inspire solutions to those problems, and prevent the repetition of wars, disputes, and tragedies. A major portion of the United States of America’s history is the military, who they are, how they came to be, what they have done, and what they are currently doing. Without the…

As stated in Tom Garrison and Robert Ellis’s oceanography textbook, “sorting is a function of the energy of the environment,” this energy deriving from “the exposure of that area to the action of waves, tides, and currents.” Well-sorted sediments, which contain particles of mainly one or two sizes, are…

Manoa (UHM). UHM is one of the few universities that hold the distinction of being a land-, sea-, and space-grant research institution. It is known for its pioneering research in such fields as astronomy, cancer research, genetics, linguistics, oceanography, and Pacific Island and Asian area studies. Other recognized programs include creative media, earth and ocean sciences, engineering, environmental law, health and medicine, international business, nursing, tropical agriculture, and urban…

and had grown to care for them like family. While there I gained valuable leadership, teaching skills and experience from teaching Merit Badge classes to the Scouts and running camp activities. At camp, I taught classes in First Aid, Geocaching, Oceanography, and Archery. While teaching I learned ways of teaching the kids, how to be more patient, and to conduct myself like an authority figure. In addition, I learned how to be productive with my time and to stay focused on a task. Working at the…

environment. Palaeography is the study of preserved material in lavers throughout time, helping to explain formation and movement of the geosphere. Hydrology is the study of bodies of water such as lakes and rivers and how water affects land surfaces. Oceanography is the study of the ocean and organisms…

project about carbon cycling in the sub-Antarctic Ocean. Although my major, earth and oceanographic science, has exposed me to plate tectonics, sedimentary systems, and biogeochemical cycling, I have focused my major mostly on ocean systems. Within oceanography I am most interested in marine nutrient cycling, ocean acidification, and water quality monitoring of coastal ecosystems. This past summer I conducted research through the Bowdoin EOS Dept. on a spectrophotometric method development to…
