Lesson Plan: Green Space, Social Networks And Crime, Center For Urban Resilience Apr 2021

Lesson Plan: Green Space, Social Networks And Crime, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 05: Public Health & Water Quality

The purpose of this lesson is to investigate how green space influences the interactions between people in cities. Specifically, the lesson focuses on the idea that increased green space provides a location where social networks can be established and supported. Social networks affect health by improving collaboration and the transmission of knowledge. Green space can also reduce conflict and stress in the neighborhood, which can reduce crime. The lesson starts with students brainstorming what they think is the relationship between the amount of available green space and the interactions between people in cities. The students conduct an activity that focuses …

Lesson Plan - Public Health Action Plan, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 05: Public Health & Water Quality

The purpose of this lesson is to revisit the driving question introduced in lesson 1 of this module: How can I make my neighborhood a healthier place to live? Students synthesize what they have learned across the module - that healthy neighborhoods have green space, robust social networks, effective waste delivery and waste removal, clean air and healthy foods. They use this general information to analyze a proposed exercise path. Students work in groups to address the action plan topic for this module: resources, both social and material. For this action plan, there is a specific focus on discussing resources …

Bioaccumulation And Partitioning Of Heavy Metals In Cicindelidia Haemorrhagica In Yellowstone National Park, Monica Gotschall Apr 2021

Bioaccumulation And Partitioning Of Heavy Metals In Cicindelidia Haemorrhagica In Yellowstone National Park, Monica Gotschall

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The tiger beetle Cicindelidia haemorrhagica (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) are widely distributed in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and exclusively living on thermal areas. Heavy metals including arsenic, copper, lead, and selenium are present in these thermal springs, presenting an unique environment for C. haemorrhagica. Therefore, from 2018 – 2020 I sampled adult C. haemorrhagica from YNP and adult C. haemorrhagica from a known population in a salt flat in Idaho not associated with a hot spring and measured heavy metal concentrations. All populations of C. haemorrhagica bioaccumulated heavy metals. Cuticular waxes showed small concentrations of metals indicating that those metals are …


Reconstructing Primary Production In A Changing Estuary: A Mass Balance Modeling Approach, Jongsun Kim, Mark J. Brush, Bongkeun Song, Iris C. Anderson Apr 2021

Reconstructing Primary Production In A Changing Estuary: A Mass Balance Modeling Approach, Jongsun Kim, Mark J. Brush, Bongkeun Song, Iris C. Anderson

School of Earth, Environmental, & Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Estuarine primary production (PP) is a critical rate process for understanding ecosystem function and response to environmental change. PP is fundamentally linked to estuarine eutrophication, and as such should respond to ongoing efforts to reduce nutrient inputs to estuaries globally. However, concurrent changes including warming, altered hydrology, reduced input of sediments, and emergence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) could interact with nutrient management to produce unexpected changes in PP. Despite its fundamental importance, estuarine PP is rarely measured. We reconstructed PP in the York River Estuary with a novel mass balance model based on dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) for the …

Effect Of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi And Hippophae Rhamnoides On The Improvement Of The Dump Of Open-Pit Coal Mine In The Eastern Grassland, Miao Chunguang, Yang Huihui, Bi Yinli, Song Ziheng, Guo Nan Apr 2021

Effect Of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi And Hippophae Rhamnoides On The Improvement Of The Dump Of Open-Pit Coal Mine In The Eastern Grassland, Miao Chunguang, Yang Huihui, Bi Yinli, Song Ziheng, Guo Nan

Coal Geology & Exploration

The land barren, grassland degradation and difficult ecological restoration are serious in the open-pit mining area of eastern China. The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) and Hippophae rhamnoides and the effect of mycorrhiza on the development of Hippophae rhamnoides root system and the improvement of soil in the dumping site were analyzed. It was found that the plant height and crown width of inoculated AMF(+M) were increased by 20% and 21%, respectively. The root length and root volume of +M were 1.46 and 1.97 times of CK, respectively. The content of Glomalin in the rhizosphere soil of Hippophae rhamnoides in …


Geochemical Characteristics And Genesis Of Coalbed Methane In Baode Area, Li Yangbing, Zeng Lei, Hu Weiqiang, Chen Xin, Ma Litao, Liu Cheng, Huang Ying, Qiao Fang Apr 2021

Geochemical Characteristics And Genesis Of Coalbed Methane In Baode Area, Li Yangbing, Zeng Lei, Hu Weiqiang, Chen Xin, Ma Litao, Liu Cheng, Huang Ying, Qiao Fang

Coal Geology & Exploration

In order to find out the geochemical characteristics and origins of coalbed methane(CBM)in Baode area, coal, CBM and water samples were collected, gas component analysis, quality detection of CBM well-produced water and stable isotope analysis were carried out. The results show that CH4 is the main hydrocarbon gas in CBM composition and its volume fraction ranges from 88.60% to 97.59%; a small amount of ethane is contained, and the volume fraction is only 0.01%-0.14%. The drying coefficient is greater than 0.99, the CBM belongs to the extremely dry CBM. The non-hydrocarbon components mainly contain CO2 and N2 …


Lesson Plan - Land Use Game: Complex Decisions, Center For Urban Resilience Apr 2021

Lesson Plan - Land Use Game: Complex Decisions, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 02: Land Use

The purpose of this lesson is for students to simulate decisions that may influence land use patterns in a city. To do this, the students will play a board game that has both mandated Policy Event cards and decision cards that students control. The decision cards consist of three potential options and each option has different monetary, ecological, and social consequences. The students play the game in groups of two to three and then discuss the impacts of their decisions on the future of their city. The lesson concludes with a discussion of how well the data collection went and …

Lesson Plan - Biophysical And Social Drivers, Center For Urban Resilience

Module 02: Land Use

In this lesson, students will learn about the various biophysical and social drivers which impact land use in detail. They will then use their knowledge about urban land use as a class to explore various data sources (maps, charts, figures, etc.) to determine how these drivers have influenced land use in New Orleans. Students will then relate their understanding of the case study to the Ecological Services Model.
