Crawford Lake Geology and Climate Change
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the climate change that has occurred in the area of Crawford Lake, Ontario over the past 13,000 years, using the lithology of the lake as evidence. The paper discusses the records of oxygen isotope, calcium carbonate concentration and detritus layer as evidence for a moist climate followed by change to a dry, warm climate that once again was followed by a shift back to the climate of the present day. The paper is based on the research of Zicheng Yu, who has studied Crawford Lake extensively. Includes 3 figures, including a photograph of Crawford Lake core samples. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Core sample photograph contained separately in KSgeoCrawLkCore.rtf.

Desert Surfaces: A Process Based Analysis of Radiation, Heat,
Precipitation, and Storage
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page overview of the processes which
impact deserts. Summarizes geologic, climatological and biological
processes which interplay to both shape desert environments and which
are shaped by those environments. Outlines the importance of topography, substrate characteristics, precipitation, vegetative cover
(both type and extent), radiation, and cloud cover in particular and concludes that each of these factors is interrelated with the other. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Earth's Equilibrium
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Earth's survival depends upon the collective efforts of each and every species living on the planet; among the overall order or life forms, man is the only one who has not abided by this fundamental doctrine. In fact, humanity has gone so far in the opposite direction that all the major environmental issues plaguing planet Earth today are a direct result of progressing the human species at the expense of all others. The extent to which Earth's equilibrium is under considerable pressure is both grand and far-reaching; that the climate increase indicates a treacherous path toward unstoppable instability speaks to how the planet's fragile equilibrium is a sign of what waits ahead. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
