improve estimates of the global carbon budgets. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) properties, including chromophoric dissolved organic matter absorption coefficient (ag412) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations were examined in Apalachicola Bay, a National Estuarine Research Reserve located in the northeast Gulf of Mexico using in situ and satellite observations during spring and fall, 2015. Synoptic and accurate representation of estuarine-scale processes using satellite ocean color imagery

glacial sheets from the last ice age begin to melt (Chesapeake Bay Program n.d.). As the glaciers melted the large volume of water began to raise sea levels. The rising seas levels engulfed the coast and flooded the Susquehanna river (“Geological History” n.d.). Once the seas levels have risen, the temperatures continued to rise changing the landscape. So “oak, maple, hickory, and other hardwood species started to appear” (Chesapeake Bay Program n.d.). Once the temperature increases even more hardwood

live that spreads across the millennia. When European explorers and colonists first arrived in the region, beginning in the 1500s, the indigenous coastal peoples practiced a mix of subsistence economies which included rigorous fishing in the shoreline bays and lagoons,

The health of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay was found based on Biological (macroinvertebrates and wildlife) and Chemicals characteristics (pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, nitrates, etc.) as well as physical observations (amount of forested buffers, wetlands, etc.) Overall it was concluded that the health of the water was good to excellent. What was found was that many of the macroinvertebrates found in the water were sensitive or facultative, meaning the water quality was good enough

Flooding is one of the many risks that people and their private properties assume when they consider living in a specific geographic location. This is true for the residents of Howard County, as they live near the Chesapeake Bay, whose tributaries branch off into smaller rivers, streams and lakes. Due to the fact that Howard County is more developed in the southeast and more rural in the west, there is a correlation between the risk of flooding and the presence of human development. (any cite

With a decrease in algae population, the grasses of the bay will be fed on by zooplankton, oysters, and fish. Without the algae, there would be a huge decrease in Bay grasses. This happens because Zooplankton, oysters, and fish will no longer eat the algae, they would resort to the Bay grasses. The effects then go onto the plants and animals living here. (Science Daily) Since the algae population decreases, so does the algae bloom, which sink to the bottom and decompose to create oxygen many underwater

In the video “Shipbreakers of Bangladesh” Tim Nooman, its producer, shows the impact of shipbreaking at the Bay of Bengal. The video shows some interviews and also shows how the shipbreaking really happens, its real dangers and work conditions in the country with the highest population density and one of the poorest countries in the world. Tim Nooman calls Bangladesh as a “land of dreams, teeming life and spectacle”, but soon he shows the land where “ships from the entire world come to die”, as

The Merrick Institute has been shut down after discoveries that the Institute had been cloning clients. Some clients have said they were told their clones would be “in a vegetative state”. Two clones have come forward with their stories of life in the Institute. Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta sat down with one of our reporters. R-“Thank you for being here Jordan and Lincoln.” L- “It’s no problem. We felt that we needed to expose the abuse we have suffered.” R- “I’m curious. What did they

food and income for many people. The Chesapeake Bay provides hundreds of people with jobs, habitats for a wide variety of animals and transportation for goods. Since John Smith sailed to America and upon entering the Bay said “Within is a country that may have the prerogative over the most pleasant places known, for large and pleasant navigable rivers, heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitation” (John Smith) the Bay has been an integral part of life in the United States

Pierce’s Landing is three hundred acres of land that goes back six generations. Its been a successful cattle farm since the very beginning. Pierce’s Landing is at the core of the legacy that is the Pierce surname in Hope. Now that’s a shit tonne of pressure and expectations resting on my shoulders. Laying my surf board down on the sand, I shake my hair out cursing myself for forgetting my towel. The damn solicitor’s voice from yesterday keeps repeating itself in my head, ‘Pierce’s Landing including
