East Turkey Creek is located in southeast Arizona in the Chiricahua Mountains along the New Mexico border. The Chiricahua Mountain Range is one of the largest Sky Islands in the Sky Island region of the United States with a total area greater than 140,000 ha and elevations ranging from approximately 1,100 to 2975 m. East Turkey Creek is located on the eastern side of the Chiricahua Mountain Range and flows northeast from its spring source in Rustler Park towards the town of Paradise, AZ before fully infiltrating. Stream flow near the source is perennial, whereas most of the stream is characterized by intermittency, usually drying up to remnant pools in late May or June. The flow itself is driven in part by spring source and in part by early spring snowmelt, with peak flows occurring in July and August during the monsoon season. The nearest climate station is in Paradise, AZ. The average minimum temperature is -4.2°C and occurs in January. The average maximum temperature is 31.2°C, occurring in June. Mean annual precipitation is 486 mm (Western Regional Climate Center, Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary, www.wrcc.dri-edu). II. The Historic Fire Regime and the Changes of the 20th Century The historic fire regime between 1700 and 1900 of the Chiricahua Mountain Range was characterized by an average recurrence interval of three years, with occasional recurrence intervals of only one year (Seklecki, Grissino-Mayer, & Swetnam, 1996). Most of these fires would have
A site called Coobool Creek on the Wakool River, located between Swan Hill and Deniliquin in the Murray River Valley was where G. M.

On October 8th, 2015 our 8-Orange team took a field trip to the Conodoguinet Creek to test the water quality. The Conodoguinet Creek was tested about 2 different times. It was tested about 2 times to take a test to see if the water was polluted or unpolluted. The results will help you understand the conflict of the Conodoguinet Creek.The water came up to about our knees. This trip was different but very informational.
In 1985, the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) evaluated the Silver Creek Wetland, and qualified it for environmental protection. A re-evaluation was done in 1995, and a decision was made to combine three areas into one complex. The provincially significant wetland is listed as “unimpaired” and protection was recommended in 2000 by Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority’s watershed health monitoring summary. As the area provides vital biological, social, and hydro geological functions, protection is crucial. Not only does the area act as flood control, water purification, and sediment containment, it is a prime fishing location for locals as it provides a cold-water habitat and spawning grounds for several varieties of game fish such as brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Numerous species of birds, such as the Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia), the great egret (Ardea alba), the black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), and other waterfowl also favour the staging and feeding grounds that the

At the beginning of the month we stopped at the sweetwater river crossing because the land was ideal for camping and lavish for the animals. At nightfall we were attacked by another tribe of native americans, this battle was faster although more meaningful because 7 of my close friends died in the battle. Joseph and Tom both died in the battle leaving Tom, Dave and I left in the council. Joseph's death was early on in the battle, him and his family were slaughtered horrifically as joseph was fighting off the indians he watched as his daughter was decapitated and wife's throat was cut open as she screamed and pleaded, Joseph upon watching was distracted from the task at hand and was stabbed in the stomach and was left to bleed to death on the
The Crow Creek site is a multi-occupied Initial Coalescent variant site along the Crow and Wolf creeks of the Missouri River within the southcentral portion of modern day South Dakota. This site is considered to be a massive in size, approximately eighteen acres. Laid out in a triangle, the site is bordered by the Wolf Creek with a steep terrace drop off to the west; Crow Creek with a narrow and steep terrace to the flood plain. Connecting these sides, the northeastern portion of the site sees a 1500-foot-long bastioned fortification ditch. The Crow Creek phase predates the Wolf Creek Phase and dates to 1050 A.D., while the Wolf Creek Phase appears to begin in 1325 A.D. The 1978 research focused upon the

The two passages describe Okefenokee Swamp in two very different views. The passages are similar in some ways, but the style with which they are written are very different. Passage I is written in a very plain matter to simply describe the swamp, while passage II uses a multitude of adjectives to create imagery and gives the reader a whole new view of the place. Also, they have different sentence structures. Passage II uses many complex and compound sentences compared to passage I; however, passage I uses longer

Come on everyone it is time to go canoeing. Everyone gets in their canoes at the lake and the camp counselor says be careful not to fall into Canoe Lake. All of a sudden the canoe flips over and I have fallen into the lake and cut my foot open on the bottom of the lake stepping on a broken bottle. The camp counselor rushes me to the camp nurse who is now dressing my wound and explaining to me that I am at risk for infection because of exposure to bacteria, parasites, and fungi. What do I do now?

Communities that was adjacent to Buffalo Creek. When operation of the mine commenced in 1945 the practice dumping of slurry or coal mining waste into the hollow also began. Coal companies who operated upstream of the communities dammed Buffalo Creek to facilitate mining operations, which created an earth dam that held back 130 million gallons of water and coal waste. On average, a thousand tons of slurry had to be dumped every day. Although there were many complaints about the safety of the coal company and its regulation of the Buffalo Creek site, nothing was ever done to improve the dam’s conditions. The Buffalo Creek project had three earth dams ranging in
