Coral Reefs      Coral reefs are one of the oldest types of living systems on earth, and certainly one of the most spectacular (Goreau, 1987). They are massive underwater structures formed by the limestone skeletons of tiny invertebrate animals. Reefs house a greater diversity of body forms, chemistry, and animal phyla (thirty-two compared to the eight that inhabit the most biodiversity ecosystems on land). Phyla comprise the second largest category of living things, after kingdoms.      Coral

As a young Kentuckian, I recognize the importance of coal to the world's energy supply and its increasing use worldwide. Coal does indeed power the nation, but at what cost? At the cost of Appalachian qualities of life, at the cost of their health, the environment, and the economy. No one should suffer like the Appalachian region has due to the extensive devastation resulting from mountaintop removal. We, as a country, should stand up and defend Appalachia. We should come up with clean alternative

1 Climate Impacts of the 1982 El Chichon and 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Eruptions Joseph Carolan and Gregory Deboe Meteo 470: Climate Dynamics Fall 2014 December 15, 2014 Introduction: The changing climate has become a very important amongst the science and political communities over the past 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its First Assessment Report in 1990 as a means of taking a global initiative to study the changing climate and how to respond to these changes.

Study Area The Central Valley of California, United States, is a notable structural depression which covers around 32,187km2 (Figure 1), and is bounded by the Cascade Range in the north, the Sierra Nevada in the east, the Tehachapi Mountains to the South, and the Coast Ranges and San Francisco Bay to the west (Planert 1995). The Valley has relatively flat topography, lying close to mean sea level but is higher along the valley margins. Most of the valley boundary along the eastern edge is about 152m

increased number of tourists creates not only jobs but also tax revenues for the state. China and Brazil are two of the largest markets for California travel industry. The implement of Visa Waiver Program in these countries has significantly expedited visa processing, and increased the length of visa validity as well as length of stay. In order to maintain current trend and prevent decline, the report suggests that the state should continue to invest in infrastructure to make traveling more convenient;

Introduction: Recent research on interpolation of climatological and meteorological information with the support of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has shown that interpolation has a large development potential within climatology and meteorology. At the same time the demand for interpolated data products are increasing, numerical weather models are working at higher spatial resolutions and may be initiated by gridded data from observations. Interpolation is a method of getting new data from
