Moral values and the march of science All law in some sense teaches and forms us‚ while also regulating our behaviour. The same applies to our public policies‚ including the ones that govern our scientific research. There is no such thing as morally neutral legislation or morally neutral public policy. Every law is the public expression of what somebody thinks we "ought" to do. The question that matters is this: Which moral convictions of which somebodies are going to shape our country’s political

What is Stormwater Pollution? When it rains‚ water flows from your roof‚ yard‚ and street into the gutter and down the drain. The stormwater drain carries this water into Lake Macquarie‚ wetlands‚ lagoons and the ocean along with all the sediment‚ rubbish‚ grass clippings‚ pet faeces‚ chemicals and fertiliser it collects along the way. The result is stormwater pollution. Last Modified: 20-AUG-2009 What impact is stormwater pollution having on Lake Macquarie? Volumes of stormwater in urban areas

Many places are experiencing an increased risk of coastal erosion and flooding. Describe how you would design a programme of fieldwork and research to investigate the effectiveness of coastal management schemes. Write as though you did it. Where did you do it? What specific fieldwork/ research did you do? What websites did you look at? Why did you do each technique in your investigation? What were you hoping it would tell you? In order to fully investigate the effectiveness of coastal management

area: showing Dubai’s coastal management has swayed more to meeting the environmental needs On the contrary‚ some coastal management schemes may focus on meeting socio-economic requirements as a priority rather than the environmental needs. Coastal erosion has been a major issue in the Isle of Wight‚ as the area is a coastal resort and residential area‚ having millions of pounds of commercial and residential property close to the coastline. Serious slope failure in the Isle of Wight would affect properties

The Destruction of Biodiversity Why should you care? You should care‚ because there exists a chain to which all life is linked. Humans stand not apart‚ and there is no beginning or end. Extinction is like a trickling stream that grows to threaten riverbanks before drowning the world with oceans. We are foolish and naïve to assume that our creek can be maintained as we constantly introduce new species into foreign ecosystems‚ and destroy biodiversity with the detrimental effects of human integration

[pic] Mississippi depicting sediments due to erosion The finest beaches on the Mississippi Gulf Coast are located on Ship Island and are being eroded however; erosion is the thing that initially created the beaches. There were no beaches when oceans first covered the surface of the earth millions of years ago‚ only rocky shores. Over millions of years these solid stones were broken down into rocks by erosion‚ then were broken down into pebbles‚ and then into gravel‚ and then into sand. Rivers

Factors affecting the rate of coastal erosion Rock types - Soft rocks like clay or mud‚ erode faster than hard rocks like granite. This is because hard rocks are more resistant to erosion. This means that the hard rock is left sticking out into the sea as a headland. The headland is now vulnerable to the force of destructive waves but shelters the bays close by from further erosion. Wave type - Destructive waves cause more erosion than constructive waves. This is because backwash is more powerful

landforms of coastal erosion. (25 marker) Most of our landforms on the coastline are formed because of coastal erosion. But firstly it is essential to understand what coastal erosions are. Coastal erosion involves the breaking down and removal of material along a coastline by the movement of wind & water. They are sorted in two categories‚ Marine processes and Sub aerial processes. A few methods of erosion are; Abrasion‚ hydraulic action‚ Attrition and so on. These erosions leads to the formation

Three major causes of soil erosion There are three causes of soil erosion over cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation. All of these causes can be corrected in different ways. Over cultivation is when the land is repeatedly tiling and producing crops faster than the soil can restore resulting in a decrease in the soil value and productivity. One of the ways that over cultivation can be corrected is by a technique called no-till agriculture. No-till agriculture is a procedure where chemicals
