Geographical Information Science: Case Studies in Earth and Environmental Monitoring provides detailed remote sensing and GIS methods and algorithms and technology comparisons, focusing on a wide range of environmental applications. The geoinformation technologies are demonstrated through templated case studies detailing real world use of the techniques and clarifying methods, tools, and practical solutions to environmental mapping and monitoring. The book utilizes remote sensing and geospatial data from the most recently launched satellites and applies the latest geospatial data approaches and analysis software tools (both commercial and open source). This book is a comprehensive reference for researchers, academics and technicians in the fields of geospatial science & technology, remote sensing, and environmental science; or those processing and analyzing geospatial data for monitoring and modelling.

Adventures of Ed the Bear did an awesome experiment to demonstrate what would happen if acidity in the ocean got out of hand, due to fossil fuels and global warming. "Acid oceans are caused by increased amounts of carbon dioxide absorbed by oceans, putting many marine animals in danger." - Adventures of Ed the Bear materials: 2 jars (one filled with vinegar, the other water) 2 seashells Below is the seashell submerged in vinegar: photos via adventures of ed the bear
Review and Learning Guides for full year - all Nine AP Environmental Science Units, aligned to the AP Environmental Science Course and Exam Description! Students will know exactly what College Board expects them to learn. Each Essential Standard is written out on the left side of the paper, with focused, aligned, open ended questions on the right side for students to work through. Most of the questions are open ended, asking students to think critically and put concepts together in meaningful ways. Students are also asked to draw, label, and annotate diagrams, create graphs, explain data sets, and justify reasoning. This BUNDLE includes all NINE Units for AP Environmental Science: APES Unit 1: Ecosystems APES Unit 2: Biodiversity APES Unit 3: Populations APES Unit 4: Earth Systems and Resources APES Unit 5: Land and Water Use APES Unit 6: Energy Resources and Conservation APES Unit 7: Atmospheric Pollution APES Unit 8: Land and Water Pollution APES Unit 9: Global Change Includes a full answer key for each Unit! AND a digital copy of each unit, which you can send to students to complete online. Open it in Google Docs and then make a copy for your own Google Drive to edit as needed. **BONUS** Save hours of time searching for resources to teach with! Purchase includes a list of links to 420 extra resources - arranged and organized for each unit topic. The list includes links to online interactive activities, video clips, and Lab ideas and classroom activities for your students. Your AP Environmental Science students benefit tremendously from having quick access to the Essential Knowledge standards and these guiding questions. After going through each set, they will feel confident they are ready for the Exam! This resource can be used several ways: While going through a Unit as a working document, a learning guide, students can add to it as they read though the text book or listen to lecture To complete just before a Unit test as a study guide At the end of the semester to prepare for the AP Environmental Science Exam When used as a learning guide: It is helpful to have students begin the Unit by going through the Essential Knowledge itself, highlighting key vocabulary. This gives them a good foundation to grow from, they know what to look for and what is important as they learn about, or review for the Unit. When my students use these as review, I put them into small groups of three or four. They work together to complete the questions. Then students get into new groups and review their answers. I help guide them and help with questions that they can not come to an agreement on. Looking for more Science resources? Biomolecules Review Dot Game!

In the 1920s, government policy allowed the extermination of Yellowstone’s gray wolf—the apex predator—triggering an ecosystem collapse known as trophic cascade. In 1995—through use of the Endangered Species Act—the conservation community reintroduced the gray wolf to restore balance. The impact was dramatic.
This book examines the impact of multinational enterprises (MNEs) on local economies, and presents selected case studies of MNEs operating in low income countries. By balancing external social and environmental costs against its corresponding benefits, the book demonstrates that MNEs can have a positive net-impact on local development if they build up…
