Title: Aquatecture Background: A third of the earth is covered in water, and most of the world’s population lives close to large bodies of water, including the Philippines which is made up of islands. Thus encouraging naval architecture and stilt designs Water has been important in helping create architecture, from the people who lived by the two rivers; Tigris and Euphrates to the people of Dubai who are living on artificial islands today. Since we highly depend on, use and live with water, it…

Water is Florida’s best natural resource in the Sunshine State simply because it surrounds all of Florida and it is what draws people to our state. There are two big beautiful oceans that surround the state of Florida. There are also several lakes, rivers, springs and other bodies of water. Although, the biggest problem in Florida is the pollution going into Florida’s waterways; everyone has a role on the pollution. Homeowner’s are a part of the problem because they are trying to keep their…

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…

LENGTH -WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND CONDITION FACTOR 6.1. INTRODUCTION Length-weight relationship studies of fishes are considered as an important tool for understanding of fish. Length is a linear measure (in centimeter) and the weight of a fish (in gram) is approximately equal to its volume (cubic centimeter). Hence, weight of a fish is a function of length. The relationship can be expressed by the hypothetical…

“Win the Fiery Antidote”: a Feminist Approach to Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market In a time when women did not have major roles in literature or their daily lives, Christina Rossetti’s powerful poem Goblin Market is published to empower women of the Victorian Era. This poem is about two sisters, Lizzie and Laura, who live alone in the middle of the woods. They go into the woods every day to get water from the river, where they encounter goblin men selling fruits. After Laura tries…

The influence of land use patterns on eutrophication in the Ribeira do Iguape watershed. The case study by Cunha, Bottino and Calijuri (2010), examined how land use patterns within the Ribeira do Iguape watershed, Sao Paulo, Brazil, with varied levels of anthropogenic interference influenced eutrophication variables (total suspended solids (TSS), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and total nitrogen (TN)) ranges in three rivers (Canha, Pariquera-Acu and Jacupiranguinha Rivers).…

In this case study, scientists researched Lepomis microlophus (redear sunfish), Lepomis macrochirus (bluegill sunfish), and Microterpus salmoides (largemouth bass) that were collected from control ponds, natural lakes, and stormwater ponds in Orlando Florida. The fish were analyzed heavy metals such as zinc, lead, copper, cadmium, and nickel. The purpose of the study was to determine if the fish from the stormwater ponds had higher concentrations of these metals, and if there was a difference…

Lick Creek Park is located in southeast College Station, TX, and consists of 515 acres of habitats associated with the Post Oak Savanna and Hardwood Forest vegetation zone. The park transects the valley walls of the Lick Creek flood plain, a major tributary to the Navasota River. The park contains an “alluvial hardwood forest, open marshland, oxbow meadows, upland oak forest, and sandy prairies.”(Lick Creek Park 2016) Before the park was established, it was used to pasture cattle and thus was…

How Healthy is the Conodoguinet Creek? What pollutes the Conodoguinet creek? Is the Conodoguinet creek even polluted? Is there even a way to find out if it is even polluted? To figure this out we identified and counted critters that we found in the creek. We also took some Eutrophication tests. The first test taken was an Critter Count. How do you count critters or macroinvertebrates? Does the velocity of the creek affect the number critters? First we went out to the creek grabbed a sample rock…
