Instructions for the Geological History and Development Pamphlet The purpose of this pamphlet is to persuade people that the physical processes that made the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem are unique. Persuade people that by damaging the land we are defeating all the work done to create this land. Essentially you need to explain why these processes give this ecosystem the title Crown of the Continent Ecosystem. Give us an appreciation for these works, that will help the public to respect the land more. It would be interesting to here of some of the creation stories, if any, the tribes have of this area. Be sure to include glaciation and other geographical processes that occurred. Also, include topics about pollution and erosion. Consider addressing the following suggestions in your pamphlet. Also feel free to come up with your own questions that might interest the public, but be sure to provide some meaning to this topic. What were the processes that created this ecosystem? How long does science say these processes took? What impact have humans made on these?

CAREERS IN THE GEOSCIENCES G eoscientists follow paths of exploration and discovery in quest of solutions to some of society's most challenging problems. Predicting the behavior of Earth systems and the universe. Finding adequate supplies of natural resources, such as ground water, petroleum, and metals. Conserving soils and maintaining agricultural productivity. Developing natural resources in ways that safeguard the environment. Maintaining quality of water supplies. Reducing human suffering and property loss from natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides, hurricanes, and tsunamis. Determining geological controls on natural environments and habitats and predicting the impact of human activities on them. Defining the balance between society's demand for natural resources and the need to sustain healthy ecosystems. Understanding global climate patterns. What is a GEOSCIENTIST? Geoscientists are stewards or caretakers of Earth's resources and environment. They work to understand natural processes on Earth and other planets. Investigating the Earth, its soils, oceans, and atmosphere; forecasting the weather; developing land-use plans; exploring other planets and the solar system; determining environmental impacts; and finding new sources of useful Earth materials are just a few of the ways geoscientists contribute to our understanding of Earth processes and history. Geoscientists provide essential information for solving problems and establishing governmental policies for resource management; environmental protection; and public health, safety, and welfare.

About Us You are in: NSF Home OLPA Home Newsroom Fact Sheets/ Background Briefings Biocomplexity in the Environment NSF Fact Sheet Media contact: Cheryl Dybas cdybas@nsf.gov Biocomplexity in the Environment October 2003 What is the Biocomplexity in the Environment Priority Area? From individual cells to entire ecosystems, biocomplexity refers to phenomena that arise from the dynamic interactions that take place between biological systems, including the influence of humans and the physical environment. The National Science Foundation, through its Biocomplexity in the Environment (BE) Priority Area, is undertaking a multi-year, agency-wide set of activities in environmental science, engineering and education. This includes funding of both focused initiatives and core programs that foster research on interdependencies among the elements of specific environmental systems and the interactions of different systems. BE is included in NSF's Environmental Research and Education (ERE) portfolio; the first BE awards were made in fiscal year 1999. All organisms—from microbes to human beings—fall within the BE framework, as do environments that range from frozen polar regions and volcanic vents, to temperate forests and agricultural lands, to the neighborhoods and industries of urban centers.

GES 47N Secrets in the Mud an Introduction to Paleoceanography The oceans have major effects on climate; understanding how the oceans operated and responded to natural perturbations in the past help us predict and plan for the potential consequences of changes humankind induces on the environment. The kinds of information deduced from marine sediments about Earth's environment in the past. Student lab projects: sediment sample preparation and analysis, description and interpretation of data and presentation as oral and written reports. A student looks for secrets in the mud at Scripps Institute for Oceanography. Students anaylze sediment for percent carbonate. Students titrate to determine percent organic matter. GES 57Q How to Critically Read and Discuss Scientific Literature The ability to read and evaluate scientific primary literature is crucial for success in undergraduate or graduate school, or in the scientific work force. Topics: how to approach the reading of scientific articles, and how to understand and critically evaluate the information contained in them through guided and instructed reading and a review of such papers. GES 120 Geosphere Geological Processes, from local to global, affect people and civilization. The reverse is also true, civilization is beginning to influence the geosphere. The processes experienced at the earth's surface (catastrophic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and longer term atmospheric and climate changes) are linked to what goes on in the earth's deep interior. How geochemical, geophysical, and biological processes interact over time scales ranging from 4.5 billion years to nearly instantaneous. Topics: the origin and evolution of the atmosphere and oceans, heat flow and global tectonics and how they have changed over time, geochemical cycles, climate change, catastrophic impacts, and the roles played by organisms.
