Preliminary Proposal: LTER: Coastal Alaska- CoA LTER Overview The CoA LTER aims to better understand how high-latitude marine ecosystems will be affected by future ocean change, particularly changes associated with glacial discharge and ocean acidification. Kachemak Bay, Alaska, is the ideal high-latitude model system to conduct this research because of its 1) wealth of existing data, 2) existing infrastructure (the Kasitsna Bay Laboratory), 3) high productivity and biological diversity, 4) susceptibility
of oil were raised by Libyan leader Miammar al-Gaddafi and spread to oil rich Middle East countries. Because of this, BP’s survival was contingent on finding other places to dig for oil. The Forties Field off the coast of Scotland and Prudhoe Bay Alaska were tapped, and became BP’s best sites. It was a challenge for their engineers because transportation of the oil became a problem.

Our nomadic ancestors of our modern Native Americans as we know today made their way over the “land bridge” from Asia which is now called Alaska over more than 12,000 years ago. Dividing these nomadic areas into “culture areas,” or groupings of connecting people who shared similar habitats and characteristics into 10 separate culture areas: the Arctic, the Subarctic, the Northeast, the Southeast

Surprisingly not that many people know what EPA stands for or what they do. The United States Environmental Protection Agency, Also known as the EPA was established in July 1970 by congress in response of the growing demand by the public for cleaner water, air, and land. By the 1980’s, the EPA recognized that the enforcement of environmental laws required the use of criminal investigators. The EPA’s criminal enforcement program was established in 1982. Due to the growing cases that involved environmental

Climate Change is a change of weather patterns that lasts for a long duration. Climate change can be caused by the ‘greenhouse effect’. Humans create greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, electricity production and more. These gases trap the sun’s heat in the atmosphere and increase the earth’s overall temperature. This process is also called Global Warming which can cause more natural disasters like floods and droughts. Climate change is an existent global issue that started since 1880 when
