The directives were to study both the history and current conditions of the geology and ecology of the Mississippi river gorge in Seward. The report was commissioned to aid the Seward Neighborhood Group (SNG) in producing a brochure that describes these features of the Riverside Park. Organization of this Report The report is divided into three chapters, a short introductory chapter outlining the study area and jurisdictional boundaries; one on geology; and one on ecology. The appendices at the end of the report include the following:

82. UNM - Quantum 2001 - "The Poetics Of The River" When I first started studying the Rio Grande, he says, river ecologylagged behind the ecological study of lakes and oceans. http://www.unm.edu/~quantum/quantum_2001/poetics.html

The Poetics of the River Professor of Biology Manuel Molles finds the poetry of living landscapes while teaching about and participating in interdisciplinary research on river ecology. by Larry Walsh Photo by Michael Mouchette. Whether he's knee-deep in flooded forest in the Bosque del Apache, surrounded by a swarm of kamikaze mosquitoes, or bounding through the Corrales bosque, followed by students learning from the trees as much as their textbooks, University of New Mexico biology professor Manuel Molles conveys a boyish enthusiasm, as if he were seeing and understanding the Rio Grande bosque for the first time. It is a joy that permeates his writing on ecology as well. His recently published book, Ecology: Concepts and Applications, is a bestseller in science and math, and is used in hundreds of colleges from Berkeley to Princeton, and in small community colleges across the country. In his writing, Molles manages to evoke the poetry of living landscapes, landscapes whose beauty and wonder attracted ecologists to their areas of study in the first place, while explaining the rapid advances in ecology of the last 25 years. In one chapter of his book Molles, a former marine biologist, writes about the sea: "The blue solitude is something palpable, a sensation that you can almost taste. The only terrestrial biomes that evoke anything close to the feeling of this place are the open prairies and deserts, like the Namib, where the extensive dunes are called the 'sand sea.' But there is a difference between the terrestrial environments and the sea. On the open sea, all is blue-blue sea stretching to the horizon, where it meets blue sky."

Related Resources Sea Ice Melt Accelerating Arctic Home You knew, for example, that polar bears enjoyed surfing the ice packs as Arctic spring and summer sun melted the once solid ice cap that covers the northern most portion of our planet. You were reassured each year that the broken up ice pack reassembled because, of course, Santa and his reindeers (who do not as a rule enjoy surfing ice packs) completed another one of their legendary journeys. Ice is still the predominant characteristic of arctic ecology today. However, the text accompanying the Arctic ice story has changed considerably over the past five decades or so.

Ocean in a Bottle This lesson developed by Reach Out! Recommended Age Group: Elementary Guiding Questions: What is pollution Which liquids mix with water? Objectives Concepts Pollution in our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams is a very serious matter. Pollution is when we add things to the ground, the air, or the water that will make it dirty or will bring harm to the life in and around it. People often dump liquids into oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Some of these liquids will mix with water; others will not. Principles When a liquid will mix with water, we might have a hard time even knowing it is there. So, water may look pure but really be mixed with another liquid that will harm plants, creatures or people. Sometimes a liquid we add to water will at first mix with the water, but then separate out again so we can see that it is actually there. This is a settling process. Facts We must be careful about what we dump into our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. Many of the liquids we are putting into our water systems will make it harmful for the life in and around it.

HOME PROGRAMS ABOUT FAQ ... JOBS To understand and protect the wild salmon ecosystems of the Pacific Rim Our Aim No species better symbolize the lands and waters of the North Pacific Ocean than the highly migratory salmon. Salmon are miracles of Nature. The rivers where they spawn and rear define beauty and renewal; the presence of healthy wild populations is a key indicator that our oceans, rivers and forests are healthy. Salmon runs provide the nutrients that are the foundation of the food webs of plants and animalsfrom microscopic algae to bears and whalesin oceans, rivers wetlands and forests. Salmon are both the food and the fabric of the natural ecosystems of the Pacific Rim. The Challenge Salmon have sustained and inspired people for thousands of years. But runs of salmon are vanishing at alarming speed from many of the rivers and streams that feed the vast Pacific. In the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California the natural productivity of salmon has declines 80 percent and the salmon are now extinct in 40 percent of their historic range. Each year fewer pockets of pristine habitat remain. In much of western Canada, many populations are in steep decline as well. Across the Pacific Ocean, wild salmon in Japan are almost extinct and are rapidly disappearing from southern Russia. Habitat loss and an epidemic of caviar poaching threaten salmon in even the most remote parts of the Russian Far East.

River Project Dedicated to Terrorism Victims National Geographic News November 13, 2001 Washington, D.C., Mayor Anthony Williams, announced a new Environmental Education Program on Tuesday that will serve as a living memorial to the students, teachers and National Geographic Society staff members who were killed in a hijacked airliner on September 11. Three students, three teachers, and two Geographic staff members who were accompanying them on an educational field trip sponsored by the Society were on the airplane that crashed into the Pentagon. The education program in their memory will center on the revitalization and stewardship of Kingman and Heritage Islands in the Anacostia River, which flows through an area of D.C. In a moment of prayer and reflection on the banks of the Anacostia River are (from left) an unidentified student from one of the schools attended by the victims on Flight 77, Executive Director of the Earth Conservation Corps Robert H. Nixon, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, National Geographic President John Fahey, and D.C. Public Schools Superintendent Paul Vance.
