Sample Environmental Events Log Entries Ocean Acidification This article from the Environmental News Network caught my attention because I rarely hear about the oceanic events beyond comments concerning the ocean’s temperature. The article draws attention to the acidification of the ocean that occurs when the waters absorb carbon dioxide. In history, the ocean’s pH balance changed with pollutant CO2, but the rate and amount of change was less than current increases. If the rate of pollution continues, calcifiers already struggling may go extinct as some species did in historically when the chemical changes were less dramatic. This item relates directly to what we covered in Chapter 7. Source: Winter, Allison. “Ocean Acidification Occurring at Unprecedented rates”.ENN.

Ocean Salinity and Climate Change NASA is taking an expedition to the saltiest part of the North Atlantic to study how the saltiness of the ocean relates to climate change as a part of their Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS). I find this interesting because biologists already use pH as a measurement of health for aquatic biomes, why not test salt-to-water variation to view oceanic changes? This voyage will increase knowledge of the acceleration of the Earth’s water cycle. Oceanographers claim that the ocean records rainfall better than landmasses and translates these fluctuations in to salinity changes. Along with recording new salinity levels, the researchers are delving into the drivers of these changes. Hopefully, the results of the SPURS expedition will yield information that helps studies of other areas with major salinity changes and how they will affect the water cycle in surrounding areas. This topic relates to material in Chapter 11.

Changes in Arctic Winds According to a study by “scientists from Rutgers University in New Jersey, the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, and the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, a partnership of NOAA and the University of Washington.”, Arctic winds that normally travel west to east circulating the cold air are now moving south to north. This change further warms the Arctic from the warmer air currents. Since 2007, the air currents from the south are increasing contributing the record ice loss this summer. The article caught my eye because the change in air currents and their immediate results of ice loss will dramatically affect the Northern hemisphere causing drastic climate changes. This topic relates to what we covered in Chapter 5.

This unit has presented the regulatory environment related to industrial and hazardous wastes. The required unit resources and unit lesson presented aspects of the historical and current regulatory environment, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements, and the impact of nonuniform international environmental laws.

For this assignment, review the case study that was in the required unit resources “Hidden Externalities: The Globalization of Hazardous Waste” concerning the Colbert brothers’ hazardous waste business.

In your case study, discuss the Colbert brothers’ business and how they were able to conduct this business operation.

In addition, address the following items:

• Assess the historical and current regulatory environment on this case.
• Summarize RCRA requirements regarding this hazardous waste case.
• Appraise the impact of nonuniform international environmental laws concerning this case.
• Assess the ethical standards for the Colbert brothers and if their punishment fit their crime.
• State your opinion on how the case was handled.

You do not need to write your case study in the order of the above items. Weave the items into your paper to create a flowing, readable document with smooth transitions.

Your case study must be at least three pages in length with a title page and reference page (title and reference pages do not count toward the minimum page requirement).

Besides using the source from this article in your case study, locate an additional peer-reviewed article from the CSU Online Library that centers on RCRA requirements and the current regulatory environment regarding hazardous waste. The article must be no more than five years old. Also, it may be helpful to utilize the Environmental Protection Agency websites listed under References.

Because this assignment requires you to reference peer-reviewed articles, you may find it helpful to review the library’s tutorial on How to Find Peer-Reviewed Resources. (Transcript for How to Find Peer-Reviewed Resources video)

Adhere to APA Style guidelines when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Prepare: Populations sampling is a core research method used in ecological and environmental management. Understanding population size and tracking changes over time allow researchers to evaluate population dynamics and viability, which are both critical in population management.

Review: After reading this week’s assigned materials, view the following videos to learn about some methods used to estimate population size. As you watch both videos, consider which methods are best suited to sensitive populations, large populations, migrating populations, and populations that are difficult to measure. Reflect on what each method has to offer in order to best determine when and how a population sampling method should be used.

Write: Your post will be based on the alphabetical order of your last names and should be between 250-300 words. If your last name begins with the letters A through L, then review the video on buttercup sampling. Describe the research questions asked by the student scientists and which methods were used to address the question. Explain whether the student researchers use a random or systematic sampling approach. In their study, do you think one approach is better than the other? Why or why not? Develop your post using two scholarly or credible sources in addition to your textbook. What’s up, Buttercup? Population Sampling Techniques (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.   ATTCHED ARE THE RESOURCES THAT WILL GREATLY HELP WILL THIS ASSIGNMENT !!! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE THEM. MUST USE TWO (2) RESOURCES PLUS THE TEXT BOOK FOR A TOTAL OF THREE (3) RESOURCES. THE CHAPTERS FROM THE TEXT THIS WEEK ARE ATTCHED.

1. Have you been on many video calls? Do you primarily use them for school, work, or social interaction? Do you feel that it is more difficult to hold conversations online as opposed to in-person?

2.  Rudy lives in the country and has difficulty with his internet connection. His computer often “buffers” during video calls and sometimes there is a delay of two or three seconds between when someone has actually stopped talking and when Rudy realizes it is time for him to start talking. Which of the following statements is likely to be true as a result of Rudy’s technological situation?
