The number of species of plants, animals, micro organisms, the enormous diversity of genes in these species, the different ecosystems on the planet, such as deserts, rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any approach. Almost all cultures have in some way or form recognized the importance that nature, and its biological diversity has had upon them and the need to maintain it. Yet, power, greed and politics have affected the precarious balance. Who Cares?

The absorbed energy may be transferred or re-emitted. See radiation Acid deposition A complex chemical and atmospheric process whereby recombined emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds are redeposited on earth in wet or dry form. See acid rain Acid rain Rainwater that has an acidity content greater than the postulated natural pH of about 5.6. It is formed when sulfur dioxides and nitrogen oxides, as gases or fine particles in the atmosphere, combine with water vapor and precipitate as sulfuric acid or nitric acid in rain, snow, or fog. The dry forms are acidic gases or particulates. See acid deposition sulfur dioxide nitrogen oxides Acid Solution Any water solution that has more hydrogen ions (H+) than hydroxide ions (OH-); any water solution with a pH less than 7. See basic solution Acidic See acid solution Adiabatic Process A thermodynamic change of state of a system such that no heat or mass is transferred across the boundaries of the system. In an adiabatic process, expansion always results in cooling, and compression in warming.

BBC News | SCI/TECH | Supervolcanoes Could Trigger Global Freeze The threat of climate change caused by human activity could turn out to be a minor problem by comparison with a scarcely acknowledged natural hazard. Geologists say there is a real risk that sooner or later a supervolcano will erupt with devastating force, sending temperatures plunging on a hemispheric or even global scale. A report by the BBC Two programme Horizon on one supervolcano, at Yellowstone national park in the US, says it is overdue for an eruption. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/628515.stm

Geologists say there is a real risk that sooner or later a supervolcano will erupt with devastating force, sending temperatures plunging on a hemispheric or even global scale. A report by the BBC Two programme Horizon on one supervolcano, at Yellowstone national park in the US, says it is overdue for an eruption. Yellowstone has gone off roughly once every 600,000 years. Its last eruption was 640,000 years ago. Professor Bill McGuire, of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College, London, told BBC News Online: "We're getting ready for another eruption, unless the system has blown itself out. "But the ground surface deformation and other signs measured by satellite suggest it's still active, and on the move."

August 17, 2000 Global Warming Could Worsen Allergies, Study Finds By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Related Articles The Natural World: Global Warming Health: Conditions Center Forum Join a Discussion on The Environment ASHINGTON Allergy sufferers, beware: Global warming could bring more hay fever, according to government research that shows ragweed produces significantly more pollen as carbon dioxide increases. The ubiquitous weed makes nearly twice as much pollen now as it did 100 years ago and will likely double its production again over the coming century with predicted increases in carbon dioxide levels, the Agriculture Department study suggests. "This research may help us better understand the troubling impact of high carbon dioxide levels on our environment and our health," Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman said Tuesday. About 15 percent to 20 percent of the population has hay fever or allergic reactions to plant pollen, dust and other airborne particles and ragweed is the major cause of the problem in the fall. The plant is found all over the country and is particularly prevalent in the Northeast and Midwest. The pollen grains are so small that they can travel many miles.

Annual Report Appendices Environmental Biology We are studying fundamental aspects of plant growth and adaptive responses to environmental stresses and environmental variation, including global climate change. We seek to identify how plants sense variations in their environments, how this information is transmitted and how it is integrated into responses that impact on plant morphogenesis and architecture, resource acquisition and use for growth. This information will be key to the engineering of plants tailored to specific environments and to an intelligent management of biological diversity in environments of the future.

Welcome to the Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory! School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) Department of Chemistry Atmospheric Science Program, Department of Geography Research in our group focuses on the characterization of the chemical mechanisms in the atmosphere that influence regional air quality and global climate change. An accurate understanding of this chemistry is essential to assess, control and predict the impact of anthropogenic perturbations on the chemical and radiative properties of the atmosphere. Research projects in our group involve laboratory experiments that isolate important chemical reactions and field measurements and computer modeling of the atmosphere.

Critical Issues Series SM Ernest N. Morial Convention Center New Orleans, LA Spring 2003 Speakers Sponsorship Terrorism: Industry and the Public Respond Sunday, March 30, 2003, 2:30 - 5:30 PM It's in the news and on everyone's mind - the possibility that terrorist attacks on petroleum, chemical and nuclear facilities could cause catastrophic damage and releases of hazardous materials. How vulnerable are these facilities and what can be done to protect them? How can we balance the public's right to know against the danger that terrorists will easily access such public information? Leaders from industry, government, public interest groups and others will discuss these and other issues in this very important forum. Toward a Sustainable Water Supply Tuesday, April 1, 2003, 1:15 - 3:15 PM Water was once treated as an inexhaustible resource. But few people hold that belief today in the face of droughts in the United States, Africa and elsewhere; conflicts between states and nations over river flows and water rights; and competing claims for water by communities, industry, fishing interests and hydro-electric power generators. A panel of four speakers representing the diverse perspectives of government, engineering, industry and society will present the facts and address the issues involved in the development of more effective water use technologies and practices. Panelists include: Terrorism: Industry and the Public Respond Keynote Speaker: Congressman David Vitter U.S. House of Representatives, First District, Louisiana
