Research Plan: Learning to Share the Shoreline with Nesting Birds

 

How can we learn to share the shoreline with nesting birds
Write a Research Plan that includes:

An explanation of your research question
What made you interested in that question
A brief summary of 2 scholarly sources (not websites) you have read
List 2 additional scholarly sources you intend to read to further your research
A weekly schedule outlining a strategy to balance your weekly assessments with other time commitments
As previously observed, a Research Plan acts as your roadmap, detailing every step of your research journey. It documents completed tasks, lists upcoming steps, and records initial findings to steer future exploration. It is the framework for managing the ideas you’ll investigate for your final Course Project. To navigate the enchanting journey of your Research Plan, use the PRESTO acronym:

Present a challenge to solve;
Review multiple sources;
Evaluate the relevancy of sources;
Summarize arguments of sources;
Think about what you plan on using;
Organize an achievable timeline of goals.
This voyage might not be as thrilling as a day at Hogwarts, but it perfectly primes you for your Husson journey.

Start by presenting the problem you’ve pinpointed. Whether your problem is a broad, general idea or a very specific one, reviewing scholarly sources can help refine your research idea into a precise question. Use the Sawyer Library Resources from this week’s Learning Materials page find these sources. Not every source you find will bear complete relevance, so it’s crucial to evaluate their usefulness. Summarizing your sources’ basic arguments aids in this evaluation process. By thinking about what sources are important, you can decide what should be read in detail. Crafting a detailed schedule to organize your time will keep you focused for the next six weeks.

 

 

Deposit and Filter Feeders

Deposit and Filter Feeders
a. Differentiate between deposit and suspension (or filter) feeders.
b. Provide an example of each one.
c. Are these feeders found in the water column, or on the bottom of the sea?  Assume the water column starts immediately above the sea bottom.
d. What type of bottom (mud vs. sand) does each type of feeder prefer?
e. How does detritus relate to these feeders?

PART 2
a. What is the average salinity of the oceans (include units and explain the units)?
b. Where would you expect to find a higher average open ocean salinity: in the tropics (between 5 degrees N & S of equator) or in the desert belts (along 25 degrees N & S)? Why is that?
c. How does salinity compare between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean? Explain.
d. Is salt water denser or less dense than freshwater? Explain.
e. What do you call a rapid change in salinity with depth? What do you call a rapid change in temperature with depth? What do you call a rapid change in density with depth?

PART 3

Differentiate between squid, octopus, and cuttlefish

Map 9.3, “Islam and Trade in Sub-Saharan Africa, 700-1000 CE,” provides valuable insights into the relationship between the development of trade routes linking Africa and the Islamic world and the development of empires. The map shows the expansion of Islamic influence and trade routes during this period, highlighting the interconnectedness between trade and the spread of Islam. The development of trade routes linking Africa and the Islamic world played a significant role in the rise of empires in Africa. As trade routes expanded, African rulers recognized the economic benefits that trade brought, such as increased wealth, access to new goods, and cultural exchange. To facilitate and promote trade, African rulers sought to establish strong political alliances and diplomatic relationships with Islamic peoples. Adoption of Islamic culture seemed like a good strategy for African rulers to promote trade between their kingdoms and the Islamic peoples with whom they were trading. Islam provided a common cultural and religious framework that facilitated communication, trust, and cooperation between African rulers and their Islamic counterparts. By embracing Islam, African rulers demonstrated their commitment to the shared values and beliefs of their trading partners, thereby strengthening diplomatic ties and fostering economic prosperity. Moreover, Islam offered a set of legal and administrative systems that were conducive to trade. Islamic law provided a framework for resolving disputes, enforcing contracts, and establishing fair trade practices. This stability and predictability in trade relations attracted more merchants to African kingdoms, leading to increased economic activity and prosperity. The link between trade and the spread of the Islamic faith is evident in this context. As African rulers adopted Islam to promote trade, they also encouraged their subjects to convert to Islam. The spread of Islam was not solely driven by religious fervor but also by economic incentives. By embracing Islam, African rulers hoped to attract more traders and merchants, who would bring wealth, knowledge, and new goods to their kingdoms. The adoption of Islamic culture had a profound impact on African culture. While it is important to note that African societies already had diverse religious and cultural practices prior to the arrival of Islam, the adoption of Islam brought about significant changes. Islamic practices such as prayer, fasting, and adherence to moral codes became integrated into African society. Islamic architecture, art, and literature also influenced African cultural expressions. However, it is crucial to recognize that African cultures did not simply assimilate into Islamic culture but rather adapted and incorporated Islamic elements into their existing cultural practices. African rulers and societies maintained their distinct identities while embracing aspects of Islamic culture that were compatible with their own traditions. In conclusion, Map 9.3 suggests a strong relationship between the development of trade routes linking Africa and the Islamic world and the development of empires in Africa. The adoption of Islamic culture by African rulers served as a strategic way to promote trade between their kingdoms and the Islamic peoples with whom they were trading. This link between trade and the spread of the Islamic faith highlights the economic incentives that influenced the conversion to Islam. The adoption of Islam had a transformative impact on African culture but also resulted in a dynamic synthesis of Islamic and indigenous cultural practices.
