Compare and contrast at least five components of a freshwater ecosystem with those of a marine ecosystem.
Category: environmental studies
Estuarine ecosystems.
What is an estuarine ecosystems. Where are the major ones located? Include research on their economic importance. Also, identify at least three major causes of biodiversity loss in marine ecosystems. Be sure to identify your sources.
Public Health Issues
Defend a claim about how your chosen topic should be addressed from an ethical perspective. This will be a claim about what should or should not be done, what should be avoided, etc.
Explain in detail how that viewpoint applies to your research topic. For example, you can describe a scenario that feeds into your persuasive arguments.
Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown
Before you begin, please read pages 123-150 in Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown.
1. Resilience is obviously super important in this time period, on both an individual and societal scale. How might you apply lessons from the chapter on Resilience in your own life and/or community? How have you been adapting to become more resilient during the last 2+ years of change since the start of the pandemic?
Please read pages 123-150 in Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown and watch the recorded interview with Claudia Urdanivia, Outreach Coordinator at NYC Parks Greenthumb.
After reading the chapter and watching the presentation, please post your responses to the DB forum:
1. What would you say makes Ms. Urdanivia an Emergent Strategist? How does she apply principles from the chapter on Resilience (or any previous chapter) in her work with NYC Parks Greenthumb?
2. What did you find most interesting or insightful from Ms. Urdanivia’s story? What content was most helpful for you in thinking about your own personal or professional journey?
Protect our environment
In this assignment, let’s suppose you have all the supplies and techniques you need, consider what we have learned in this course, and propose a method or
strategy to protect our environment, reduce, reuse and recycle what we are consuming every day.
In your assignment, try to answer all the following questions:
1. briefly summarize your idea (20 points, images, flowchart, or other media are welcome. The idea can be your unique thinking, imagination, or method used
currently, but try your best to be specific and detailed. For example, do not simply talk about recycling in general, you can talk about recycling paper: do some
research to find out the facts about the production and processing of paper, and the current process of paper recycling. Make sure to explain any new
aspect(s) of the method you proposed.
2. What do you need to conduct the method? (12 points, explain the cost, resources, technology, and energy in need to complete your idea/method)
3. What are the benefits of the method? (15 points, compared with the current procedure, what you can save with your method? How much can you save for
each resource?)
4. In which biome your method works better, or work well in every biome? Explain why. (8 points, grassland, forest, freshwater, ocean, etc.)
5. possible cited reference. (4 points)
Environmental protection, protection of water, and climate change
Compare and contrast views about environmental protection, protection of water, and climate change, via various cultural worldviews
For this paper, you are to compare and contrast views of water, where we have encountered these views through the course. Here we will explore actual views of water, or “cultural logics/worldviews” within which people may understand and value and utilize/manage water. In 2 to 3 pages, you are to summarize 3 aspects/views/attributes of and/or attributed to water from these respective worldviews, from:
1) Maori in New Zealand, specifically, from our discussion; and within that, indigenous views, broadly, from lecture and reading.
2) Hindu views from India via lecture and reading and discussion videos.
3) US environmentalist views, broadly speaking (think preservation and/or conservation, and laws around water) from lecture and readings.
4) Mainstream neoliberal Economic views from lecture, discussion, and reading.
I.e. the comparison and contrast between these four worldviews about water should be done using course readings, lectures, and links I have provided on each, as well as any brief personal research should that be needed
