Then, we'll focus on geographic spheres within the Earth system (the Lithosphere, the Atmosphere, the Biosphere and the Hydrosphere).
Your work today is to interpret the relationships among the four spheres as a result of humans burning fossil fuels.
I'd like you to interpret the relationships among the four spheres as a result of humans burning fossil fuels (where do they come from? what are they made of? how do we extract/process/use them? What happens to the carbon byproduct after combustion? How does that impact the spheres?)
If you're having trouble with this consider the carbon cycle (pages 186-187 in the Geosystems Core text "Climate Feedbacks and the Carbon Budget" / pages 188-193 in text "Evidence for Present Climate Change" and pages 194-197 "Causes of Present Climate Change" in text) or look at Earth Observatory Carbon Cycle from NASA. You could also look at Annenberg Media's "The Habitable Planet" Carbon Lab or their Chapter 8 Global Carbon Cycle from their online text or the Cool Geography Global distribution of major stores of carbon website. You could also check out Systems Thinking and the Carbon Cycle from Chapter 8 in the text An Interactive Introduction to Organismal and Molecular Biology.
B Block Criminology - Today we'll finish the NOVA video we started on Friday...
After we might watch a bit on epigenetics (or not) and then hopefully we'll discuss what we've seen with the nature/nurture concept in terms of criminality. We'll continue our look at the nature vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology and our brief history of criminology (from B.C.E up to and including the current theories, which will help you with your first activity in the course).
Our focus will be on the Social Process (Learning/Control/Reaction) and the Social Structure (Disorganization/Strain/Deviance) theories of Crime.
Today's Fit...
