Extractions: Peter M. Vitousek, Chair, John Aber, Robert W. Howarth, Gene E. Likens, Pamela A. Matson, David W. Schindler, William H. Schlesinger, and G. David Tilman SUMMARY Most of the human activities responsible for the increase in global nitrogen are local in scale, from the production and use of nitrogen fertilizers to the burning of fossil fuels in automobiles, power generation plants, and industries. However, human activities have not only increased the supply but enhanced the global movement of various forms of nitrogen through air and water. Because of this increased mobility, excess nitrogen from human activities has serious and long-term environmental consequences for large regions of the Earth. The impacts of human domination of the nitrogen cycle that we have identified with certainty include: Increased global concentrations of nitrous oxide (N O), a potent greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere as well as increased regional concentrations of other oxides of nitrogen (including nitric oxide, NO) that drive the formation of photochemical smog;

http://utopia.uoregon.edu/crp/CRPDescription.htm

Extractions: The field of planning is concerned with rational and sensitive guidance of community and regional change. Planners are responsible for identifying and clarifying the nature and effect of planning problems, formulating potential solutions to these problems, and assisting in the implementation of alternative policies which avoid additional complications. To realize these objectives, the planner must draw on the skills and insights of many professions and disciplines. The planner must have a basic understanding of the cultural, economic, social, political, and physical characteristics of a community. While applying analytical skills to both the community and regional levels, the planner must also be capable of including subjective judgments in the consideration of problems and their solutions. Preparation Those interested in entering the University of Oregon planning program are strongly encouraged to complete a thorough social science undergraduate program, including courses in economics, sociology, geography, history, and other fields relating to community and regional issues. The required introductory course in statistics can be taken after admission. Work experience, particularly related to planning, is valuable, as are writing and public speaking skills. In addition, courses related to a student's primary interests, such as natural sciences, policy sciences, environmental design, or analytic methods are helpful as background for advanced graduate work in a concentration area. Individuals with Peace Corps or other similar community service experience are especially encouraged to apply.

The program permits you to take hikes, maintain a field journal, and gain insights into this special region of the earth. Note: These very adventurous journeys do not require any special experience. We use the best equipment available, and have personal safety at the top of every list. Each participant receives a detailed set of information to help prepare for all aspects of the program.

British Fishermen Roam From Home to find Quiet Waters Source: This South Devon, 2/19/04 [READ ARTICLE] Royalty Relief Plan Aims to Increase Gulf of Mexico Oil and Gas Production - The Bush administration has announced expected suspension of oil and gas royalties on production of oil and gas from deep below the Gulf of Mexico. The royalty suspensions will apply to new reserves pumped from over 10,000 feet below the seafloor; the relief will last five years and is expected to cost the federal government just over a billion dollars in lost revenue, while generating 1.4 billion dollars over the final fifteen years of the 20-year leases. While the Gulf has been thoroughly surveyed for oil and gas, new production is generally accompanied by some more detailed seismic surveys to pinpoint likely production sites, and ongoing surveys to track the changes in oil and gas reservoirs in response to pumping.

The Reserve is on Alaska's north slope, the same oil-rich region where the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has been targetted for oil and gas development.

Some are direct, or as direct as possible, links to organizations or documents while others offer background information or examples of points I have raised. These may not be definitive examples or original information sources but they were chosen because of availability and demonstration of the variety of activities the Corridor encompasses). Approximately 3 million years ago geologic activity, in what is now Panama, parted the ocean to reveal a land bridge between North and South America. The bridge caused dramatic changes in evolution and geography, the effects of which are still being assessed today. The Gulf Stream was created by the separation of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, thereby making the climate in Western Europe much more hospitable. Locally, the event allowed the exchange of plant and animal species between two previously isolated continents. Known as the Great American Faunal Interchange, this period of natural history had enormous influence on the present species composition of North, Central, and South America. Many species of large mammals followed the lush vegetation south from North America. Predators (including humans) soon followed their prey changing the landscape forever. Central and South America, did not have much previous experience with the effects of larger predators and prey on ecosystems. Plants, predators, and prey, were left to evolve together. The result is a series of complex ecosystems, in a delicate balance with their inhabitants and each other, where ~7-8% of the world's species live in just .5% of earth's land area.

It should be noted that the fifty-year old Bay Area hydraulic Model in Sausalito, California, receives more than 300,000 annual visitors though it was not initially designed for public access. Each year, over 150,000 visit the outdoors and relatively unsophisticated Mississippi River Model at Mud Island in Memphis. There is an ongoing and strong interest in the regional waterfront, as evidenced by the participation of more than three hundred New York area organizations in a recent waterfront conference. Coastal and maritime focused groups could use the Model and Center for planning, research and discussion regarding ongoing and proposed plans for issues including ferry routes, dredging, dumping, sediment remediation, beach replenishment, salt water marsh loss, retail, industrial and port expansion.

Among the set of Island Taiwan indicators, there are five dimensions (environmental pollution, ecological resource, social, economic and institutional response), 18 categories, and totally 83 indicators. And the set of Urban Taiwan indicators contains 28 indicators. A preliminary analysis based on the collected data has been made with respect to main indicators, categories and dimensions. It helps us understand the development history in Taiwan and can be used as a regular mechanism for future sustainability evaluation. 2.

http://www.unc.edu/depts/anthro/french/he/hebook.html

Extractions: The assumption that "culture has triumphed over nature," is mistaken, and characterizes an outdated nature-culture dualism. While in Anthropological human evolution textbooks the first part of the story is couched in evolutionary and environmental terms, the second part denies the environment a meaningful role in human history. Instead values, beliefs and issues, history, and culture constitute the key elements of the explanatory framework. This also reflected in the disciplinary separation of archeologist/physical anthropologists versus sociocultural anthropologists: neither acknowledges their mutual reliance. Few efforts have been made that incorporate information about how humans have altered the environment or about how environmental change revised human activity. Examples of such changes are subsistence strategies, demographical patterns, and perceptions. To achieve this, there exists a need to develop a multidisciplinary framework. Multidisciplinarity in science is, and has been difficult to establish (Snow). Anthropology plays an important role in the development of such an framework. Its current perspective is integrative and comparative; inclusive of temporal, spatial and cultural dimensions; and dynamic. It motivates an historical focus on the dynamics of change.
