HadCM3 stands for Hadley Center Coupling model version three. This global climate model (GCM) was developed by the Met Office Hadley Center for Climate Science and Services in 2000, and was used as one of the major GCM ever since, starting from the Third Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2001. The model includes two elements – HadAm3 (for atmospheric modeling) and HadOM3 (for oceanic modeling), therefore forming a coupling assessment model. The GCM was a further development of the previous model HadCM2, also developed at Hadley (Bloom, 184).

Continental drift is the theory which proposes that the world was originally made up of a single continent. With the passage of time, this continent was broken up, and it drifted apart to form the seven continents that are present today. It was proposed by Alfred Wegener whose hypothesis stands that the continents are made up of rocks that rest on the heavier weighing rocks on the crust, and this is a movement that is mimicked by icebergs on water. The continents move rigidly. Plate tectonics theory proposes that the Earth’s surface is actually broken up into a ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Marine trophic cascade is an ecological concept that has attracted a lot of attention in the recent days owing to the increase in overexploitation of marine resources. It is paramount that we gain clear understanding of the impacts brought about by the changes in the food web. Other possible causes include the environmental changes brought about by the climatic changes such as the global warming effects. Recent studies have shown an increase in the overexploitation of the marine top predators that has the potential to initiate a marine trophic cascade. Various scholars have studied the subject and accumulated reports ...

Deepwater Horizon

Synopsis The Deepwater Horizon was an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico owned by Transocean, a U.S owned company that specializes in deep water drilling equipment (Ingersoll, Locke, & Reavis, 2012). The $560 million rig was operated by a crew of 126 people (Ingersoll et al., 2012) roughly 45 miles off the Louisiana coast (Mullins, 2010). On April 20, 2010, the exploratory Macondo well experienced an explosion that not only created one of the most catastrophic environmental disasters in U.S. history but killed 11 people (Barstow, Rohde & Saul, 2010). The environmental effects were devastating. It took 87 days ...

All the nations of the earth both developed and developing countries has to deal and cope with the demands of the climate change. China is, therefore, not an exception. China has to deal with a wide range of climates from the tropics and deserts. Climate can be viewed in three dimensions, in that climate constraints economy and society, and the climate is a hazard and can bring about other disasters and hazards. In recent research, the Chinese culture has not yet developed as fast as other nations of the world though some argue that China had the start in ...

A powerful source of inspiration for me is the beauty of nature which changes with the change of the seasons; I enjoy observing stars and clouds, sunrises and dawns, forests and mountains, and so on. But the most powerful inspiration for me is the ocean. It has made a great impression on me the first time I saw it twelve years ago and still remains my inspiration up to now. The view of the ocean causes enchantment and delight. It is a colossal force that fascinates by its latitude, depth and beauty. I think any person can find some ...

Introduction

The issue of global warming has recently become more contentious. Ideally, a great debate exists among numerous individuals on whether it is real. According to MacMillan (Par. 1), the average global temperature over the past fifty years has risen at the most rapid rate in recorded history. In essence, the climate scientists connect the warming of the oceans and atmosphere, a strong decrease in the sea ice, and ocean level rise, among other climate-associated changes to the rise in the global temperature. The greenhouse gasses including carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide contribute to global warming by ...

Abstract

The basic principle of Marxist criticism is that society is divided in social classes that are in an antagonist relation, wherein the rich and strong exploit the poor and weak. In this sense, Walt Whitman’s poem “A Noiseless Patient Spider” does not reflect the exploitative relation that Marx sees as representative for society, but he rather describes the society of one, hence an atypical society. The solitude, isolation and desolation are feelings that appear throughout the story, so the reader can understand that possession, or a high social status is not as important as companionship, or when one ...

The hospitality industry has a lot of wastage in general. It comes with the territory as they are in service of people. For example, restaurants, hotels, guesthouses, lodges, spas, and so forth have to provide hygienic facilities. A lot of water is used to wash linen and other products. Hence, sustainability is an important aspect that these industries have to address. The hotel industry is most probably the largest in the hospitality industry, one should, therefore, give it some thought here. First, a short description of what sustainability means in general could be helpful. The understanding is that sustainability ...

Humanity has developed and flourished over the span of centuries. As civilizations grew and develop, humans learn many things about nature. Ancient people realized the benefits of nature to humanity and began using it for hunting food, acquiring resources to build homes and to protect them from numerous threats from the environment. As humans learned other benefits of nature, they started to interfere with the environment and greatly change the way it was used. People started to change the structures of land and to remove trees from the forest in order to build farm lands and cities. People continue ...

Around the world, there are roughly 1500 potential active volcanos. Most of these volcanoes are around the Pacific Rim also referred to as ‘Ring of Fire.'

Volcanic ash has minerals within it when incorporated into the soil; it adds nutrients.

Volcanic mountain slopes are steep in nature. It makes it inaccessible to both animals and human beings. It provides habitat for rare plant and animal species away from human manipulation. Gases that erupt from volcanoes provide water and atmosphere. Regardless of the slow processes involves I making them it is significant over an extended period. Most volcanoes exist on the brink of tectonic plates. Amongst the tectonic plates, the largest is the Pacific ...

The Greek islands have many opportunities for travelers, and it has become one of the most sought-after vacation spots in the world. These islands are historic for their beauty, with many worldwide travelers coming here for centuries for what th”ey believe to be healing properties. Recent visitors may or may not believe in healing waters or sun powers, but they are interested in a chance to be spoiled, get away, and enjoy the island’s vast natural offerings, as well as the luxuries of the sister islands and the ocean. Mykonos, part of the Cyclades island chain, is ...

It is well-known that Native American cultures are characterized by their unbreakable connection with nature and peculiar spirituality which differs profoundly from that of Christians and other newcomers to the New World. The Cherokee and Iroquois tribes are distinguished by quite unusual and interesting perceptions of the world, origins of humans and morality, and these perceptions are embodies in Native oral traditions, cosmology and legends handed down from one generation to another. As Parker notes, “the creation story is for every group and for every person some form of coming to an awareness of their own existence, their world ...

What factors contributed to the problem? Volcanic activity is a major contributing factor to the issue of climate change. The eruption of volcanoes leads to the release of large quantities of water vapor, ash, dust, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In the atmosphere, these sulfur dioxide molecules will react with water vapor leading to the formation of sulfuric acid, which is then spread all over the world through winds. The sulfuric acid formed in the atmosphere can significantly affect the amount of solar radiation entering the Earth’s surface and thereby the ...

Every parent envisions a future where their children and grandchildren live in a rich and resourceful environment that essentially provides them with everything that they need to survive. However, what if parents were informed of a pending doom where their children will live in an extremely toxic environment where there aren't enough basic resources such as fresh drinking water or where the climate is comprised of harsh conditions that threaten their lives on a daily basis? What if they were informed that by the time their children are adults, a diverse range of the existing species of animals will ...

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

The common resources are natural and cultural resources, and they include air, water, ocean and habitable earth. These common resources are accessible to all society members. The resources are not privately owned but instead are held in common. Due to a tragedy of commons, individual users of the shared resources act independently as directed by their self-interest and deplete the resources by behaving contrary to the shared resources. For instance, oceans as common resources are usually subjected to overexploitation and abuse since it is not private property. Since the competition of fisheries is high, the fishing firms demonstrate predatory ...

Are humans threatening the survival of our planet by disrupting the ecosystem? Marvin Gaye and the public believed this to be the case in the 1960’s and 1970’s when the modern Green Movement first began. Gaye sang “Poison is in the wind that blows from the north and south and east. Radiation underground and in the sky, animals and birds live near by all die. What about this crowded land, how much more abuse from man can we stand?” . Greenhouse effect, ozone layer depletion, ocean poisoning, topsoil depletion, food chain poisoning, acid rain, pollution along with demands ...

The current theory regarding the evolution of the earth’s ocean is that water is present during the formation of the earth. Most of the discovered materials which was more than 4 billion years old also contained evidences of the present of water (Genda, 2016). Some scientists suggest that the water on earth emerged in the surface when steam was released in the volcanoes. Additional water emerged in the surface of the earth coming from meteorites and comets during the formation of the earth. The continuous addition of water from volcanoes and meteorites or comets led to the formation ...

Question 1 Tectonic plate motion refers to the movement of continental and oceanic plates from one place to another due to the effect of forces that generally act on these plates. These movements cause some effects to the surrounding environment and even to the earth surface in general. A scientist by the name of Wegner had earlier on formulated a theory that instituted some of the facts and evidence backing this presence of continental drift that had happened some time back in history (Runcorn, 2013). Furthermore, the critical evidence in support of continental drift is the jigsaw fitness of ...

Hawai'i was the 50th state to join the USA. It comprises 132 islands and is said to be the home of volcanic islands. These islands reside in the Central Pacific Ocean. Moana Loa is one of the top most active volcanoes that had formed the island of Hawaii in the ocean (Networks, 2016). The movement of plate tectonics has resulted in the volcanic eruption and, however, the volcano towering and presence of valleys had a significant impact on the economic value.

Theory of plate tectonics

Plate tectonics theory explains that upper layer of the earth’s surface is segregated into various plates that ...

Abstract

Disaster analysis is essential in the management of disasters. It assists in the identification of gaps in the management cycle within a given region. Management of disasters occurs in four cycles including planning or preparedness, response, recovery, as well as mitigation. Planning is an essential tool in all the phases of the cycle. The primary aim of disaster response is to offer immediate aid to improve health, sustain life, as well as assist in the improvement of the morale of the affected population. Recovery phase aims at restoring the infrastructure as well as the operations of the community services ...

Migratory History It is said that ethnic Chinese first appeared on the western shores of North America during the period of the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, which is about between 1521 to 1815. They had accepted commissions as being businessmen, sailors and fishermen on the Spanish galleons that traversed the Pacific Ocean between the Philippines and Mexico (Brownstone, 2). Several numbers of ethnic Chinese were able to reach California as this state was still the territory of Mexico until 1848. Future expeditions to Vancouver by John Meares, a British fur trader, brought more Chinese into Vancouver around ...

One of the issues in contentions in this era is that of global warming with some political and environmental commentators making it harder to appreciate that it is an issue of great concern. An integral attribute that ought to be considered now is the fact that the detrimental effects of global warming are bringing to the limelight effects such as massive flooding, raging cyclones and droughts across the world at a rate not experienced before. Nonetheless, countries such as Brazil considered some of the growing nations with huge potential across their population, face even more dangers as the continued ...

Throughout the history of Europe, Africa and Asia there had been Empires. These included the Roman, Akkadian, Babylonian, Greek, Shang, Persian, Holy Roman, Bulgarian, Byzantine and Russian Empire along with many more. While Africa, Asia and Europe went through many Empires, South America only had three, the Aztec, Inca and Mayan before the arrival of the Europeans. This paper will look at the effect of Europe’s need to increase their empire on the New World. The first European arrivals to the New World were the Spanish, who decided to expand their empire into the Caribbean after Columbus had ...

Guo (2012) gives the explanation for the concept of price elasticity of demand. It is simple and, when you think of it, obvious. With a very few exceptions, price increases will drive demand down. Interestingly enough, the controversy over EpiPens in the news today provides a good example of price elasticity of demand. The classic example is a drug addict or the slightly less addicted cigarette smoker. Price was essentially irrelevant to demand to these groups of consumers. The converse condition is also, then, true. Products that are commodities are essentially perfectly price elastic. Gas wars, for example, are ...

The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred on the 24th of March 1989 in Prince William Sound in Alaska. The Exxon Valdez an oil tanker was on route to Long Beach, California when it hit the Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound. The accident caused between 11-38 million gallons of crude oil to spill into the ocean in the next few days. Response to the disaster was slow due to Prince William Sound only being reachable by boat, helicopter, or plane. The identified causes of the spill are (1) The failure of Exxon to oversee the master, along with ensuring ...

Discussion Questions appending to Nespresso Business Market Strategic Management.

Question #1 – Business Background, Definition, Role and Scope The scope of business definition extends beyond Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in theory, or celebrity endorsements. The strategically-priced encapsulated Nespresso coffee, for machines development, capitalizes on an emotional goods category. According to a report by Conley, Bican, and Ernst (2013) the 1986 Nestlé of Switzerland launch segmented a role for coffee-enjoyers to receive premium product in hermetically sealed pouches filled beforehand. The concept underlying the performance of the unit, boosted by a fancy international campaign dangling the face of movie star, George Clooney, thus by accomplishing a move away from the ...

Introduction

Exports can be seen as a mechanism for economic growth of a country. Increased exportation of products can provide output growth directly as part of aggregate output. An increase of foreign demand of products can result in a country’s growth through employment and additional income for exporters. Another significant contribution of exports is that it can impact economic growth by way of “efficient resource allocation,” including more economies of scale and technological change as a result of “foreign market competition” (Helpman & Krugman, 198; Ben-David & Loewy, 1998 as cited in Awokuse, 2008, p. 593). One of the drivers for ...

In order to reduce the United States’ dependence on fossil-fuel energy resources, alternate sources of renewable must be investigated in order to reduce the country’s emission of greenhouse gas emissions which contribute to global warming. At the recent COP21 Climate Summit in Paris, the United States committed to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 26-28 percent below its 2005 level. This includes reductions in methane, carbon dioxide, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, nitrogen trifluoride and nitrous oxide, all of which contribute to global warming . In order to achieve these targets, the United States will need to employ alternative sources ...

Global warming is defined as “the rise in the average temperature of the Earth’s climate system and its effects” (Gills, 2015). There are various strands of scientific evidence that reveals that the climate system of the earth is indeed warming. Today, the scientific comprehension of global warming is expanding. A substantial amount of research has been done on the matter. However, there is still a debate going on about global warming. One side emphasizes the cause of global warming as human or anthropogenic activities, and that there is a need to mitigate the effects of global warming – that ...

Luckily for the company, first and second lien holders have provided the required capital to continue operation. Overall, the renewable energy market is growing at a very high rate. However, due ...

A general move to broaden the security agenda occurred during the 1980s by expanding the focus from the security of the state or the nation to an alternative focus on the security of the people, or the global collective. The human security can be affected by economic welfare, environmental concerns, cultural identity, political rights, and military issues. In recent years, environmental degradation is increasingly being considered as a security problem by not just the environmental activists but also the security establishment as they have become more responsive to the idea. In late 1989, the journal of the International Institute ...

Introduction

An ecosystem is defined as the interaction of the organism and other nonliving factors in a certain community. The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, and other organisms, can be classified as the biotic component of the ecosystem, whereas the environmental conditions such as water amount, humidity, soil nourishment, temperature, and the like are termed as the abiotic factors. In an ecosystem, both the existing biotic and abiotic factors determine what kind of species live there. For example, turtles, which require a large amount of water to live in cannot possibly hope to survive in arid ...

Abstract

The Chinook or king salmon is a high-value seafood choice given its fat content and nutritional value. The global shift to healthy diets and sustainable food sources has increased the worldwide demand for the king salmon significantly. Increased harvesting of this species has led to declining populations that threaten sustainability. Farmed Chinook, particularly from New Zealand, has helped in meeting the high demand while preserving the wild Chinook. Although policies, rules, and regulations are effective means of ensuring that the king salmon is not overharvested, and its habitats are well conserved, there is a need for consumer awareness to ...

Natural disasters affect a large of people around the worked and this is rising because of climate change and the rising concentration of people inhabiting the areas that are more exposed to natural disasters. These natural disasters reduce the economic growth and a significant impact on poverty and social welfare, which affects the developing countries, and their most vulnerable populations. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, actions can be taken to reduce their human and economic costs. This paper looks at a large-scale natural disaster such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004, the effect it had on the ...

What lessons should Kazakhstan learn from the collapse of the real estate market?

When the real estate market burst in Kazakhstan in the summer of 2007, it caught the country by surprise. There were signs that were missed or grossly underestimated; these signs could have assisted in the mitigation of the effects of the burst of the construction bubble. There are very many lessons from the events that led to the collapse of the real estate market. First, the introduction of mortgages into Kazakhstan played a key role in the creation of surplus demand for the already booming construction industry (Griffin & Pustay, 2015). This in turn led to an increase in real ...

Climate change is among the significant factors impacting ecological diversity on a worldwide scale. The growth of industries and the increasing human population globally have resulted in a rise in the volume of greenhouse gasses, which scientists have argued are the greatest contributors to the menace. The Florida Keys is one of the ecological treasures of the U.S. that continues to be impacted negatively by climate change and anthropogenic activities. This ecological treasure, which is located at the tip of the state of Florida, comprises about 1,700 islands that stretch for more than 200 miles to the west ...

The sinking of the Titanic is one of the worst sea tragedies. The cause of the tragedy is believed to have been a collision with an iceberg in the near-freezing Atlantic Ocean, but forensic investigations revealed more flaws in the design of the ship. The ship was inadequately equipped with lifeboats and had initial design flaws which resulted in water flowing from one watertight compartment to another. Moreover, there were communication flaws which meant that distress calls could not be received quickly while other findings revealed that some of the structural components were too weak to sustain the freezing ...

The crash of Air France 447 is considered the biggest disaster ever to hit Air France and Airbus since the beginning of their venture into this industry. All of the 228 passengers and crew of the flight were killed in this accident (Palmer, 2013). Due to the delay in the recovery of the black box from the ocean bed, the investigations and final report, published by BEA, took nearly three years for completion (Jonathan, 2011). The final investigation revealed that the accident occurred due to the inconsistent data indicated by the FMC (Flight Management Computer System) regarding the fluid ...

Many Americans today prefer to use plastic bags rather than paper bags, which tend to be more expensive and cannot be re-used. People are unaware that it costs less to produce new plastic bags than to recycle them. First and foremost, less than one percent of plastic bags is recycled, so eventually the other ninety-nine percent of bags litter our environment. Those bags are made of polyethylene, they are very lightweight and aerodynamic, that is why they can be easily picked up by the wind and carried through pipes and sewage pipes. That is how plastic bags are making ...

Climate change is having many impacts, but perhaps the most worrying of these is the rise in sea levels expected through ocean warming and melting of polar sea ice. Climate change is being caused by the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG), caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which is impacting upon the Greenhouse Effect. The tiny nation of Kiribati, located in the central Pacific Ocean, is perhaps one of the most vulnerable nations on earth to be affected by climate change. Comprising a land area of only 800 square kilometers, its coral atolls and reef islands are ...

The choosing of the most effective planning model is an important factor influencing the results of particular project. Some of the planning models are commonly used and prove to provide the highest level of accuracy. These models are Michael Porter's five forces, Adrian Slywotzky's value migration, W.

Reason fact is important: First off, it is clear that Ocean City Seacrets hosted many customers or rather invitees, the Mahons included; therefore, it owed them the duty of care. The necessary measures were taken to prevent guests from diving since the water was not suitable for diving. A total of nine ‘NO DIVING’ signs ...

Climate change, in contrast to what a surprisingly large segment of the public thinks, does indeed pose a significant threat to the way that we live. What makes a thorough understanding of the dangers of climate change is the fact that its effects are rarely large, one-time calamitous events, such as a terrorist attack; but rather slow persistent changes, like a small leak in a boat that, while dangerous, lull people into the belief that nothing is happening or that the situation is manageable. In addition, as Newton theorized in his third law, for every action there is an ...

The General Assembly of the United Nations has stated that “Changes to the climate, brought about by increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, will thus lead to changes in the oceans, including sea-level rise and ocean acidification, which will put marine ecosystems and coastal communities at risk. Most of these changes can be attributed to human activities and will negatively affect the animal inhabitants of the marine environment. Some effects of global warming on marine animals include changes in distribution, reduction of habitats and reductions in diversity and sex ratios. In the last hundred years, the rate ...

1.) CLIMATE CHANGE I. Notes on the Situation According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) climate change refers to changes in the Earth’s climate that have occurred over the course of its existence. Change to the climate occur as a result of “very small variations in the Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy” that reach the surface (NASA). A slight change in that energy can, for instance, result in the beginning or end of a period of extreme temperatures such as the ice age. Over the last three hundred years, and especially ...
