  • Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program
    Technical Report Number 36 Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program Sponsor: Bureau of Land Management Alaska Outer Northern Gulf of Alaska Petroleum Development Scenarios Sociocultural Impacts The United States Department of the Interior was designated by the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act of 1953 to carry out the majority of the Act’s provisions for administering the mineral leasing and develop- ment of offshore areas of the United States under federal jurisdiction. Within the Department, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has the responsibility to meet requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as well as other legislation and regulations dealing with the effects of offshore development. In Alaska, unique cultural differences and climatic conditions create a need for developing addi- tional socioeconomic and environmental information to improve OCS deci- sion making at all governmental levels. In fulfillment of its federal responsibilities and with an awareness of these additional information needs, the BLM has initiated several investigative programs, one of which is the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program (SESP). The Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program is a multi-year research effort which attempts to predict and evaluate the effects of Alaska OCS Petroleum Development upon the physical, social, and economic environ- ments within the state. The overall methodology is divided into three broad research components. The first component identifies an alterna- tive set of assumptions regarding the location, the nature, and the timing of future petroleum events and related activities. In this component, the program takes into account the particular needs of the petroleum industry and projects the human, technological, economic, and environmental offshore and onshore development requirements of the regional petroleum industry.

G R A D E S 6 - 8 S U B J E C T S Arts and Music, Geography, Human Geography, Physical Geography C O N T E N T S 3 Images OVERVIEW Students analyze two paintings by artist Len Tantillo depicting early Manhattan in the 1650- 1660s. Then they discuss how art can reveal geographic information about place. For the complete activity with media resources, visit: http://www.nationalgeographic.org/activity/exploring-early-manhattan-through-art/ DIRECTIONS 1. Review the history of 17th century Dutch New Amsterdam. Review the history of colonial settlement in the Hudson River region. Ask students to locate the mouth of the Hudson River in New York on a wall map of the United States. Then show students the map of the Hudson-Raritan Estuary and have them identify the Hudson River and New York City. Remind students that Dutch explorer Henry Hudson traveled across the Atlantic Ocean on the Half Moon in 1609 and continued to sail up the Hudson River. Dutch colonists followed Hudson and established settlements along the Hudson River. One of these settlements was New Amsterdam. Ask: What is the modern-day name of New Amsterdam? (New York City) Tell students that the New Amsterdam settlement was mainly located on the island of Manhattan, which is one of the five boroughs, or sections, of modern-day New York City.

  • Early Bensonhurst by Matthew Becker, Vaughn Titus and Katie Zaniewska Modern-Day Bensonhurst Is an Urban and Multiethnic Neighbo
    1 Early Bensonhurst By Matthew Becker, Vaughn Titus and Katie Zaniewska Modern-day Bensonhurst is an urban and multiethnic neighborhood of New York City in southwest Brooklyn.1 It is the home of many immigrants, and their individual influence on the community continues to shape the neighborhood. Before Bensonhurst became the culturally diverse neighborhood it is today, it was a small suburb, famously called "Bensonhurst-by-the- Sea," that attracted many residents seeking an escape to a quiet life. Even before the quiet suburb, Bensonhurst was a Dutch farming town called New Utrecht – and before that, home to Native Americans. The Dutch had a lasting impact on this region, as seen by the community's attempts to preserve the name New Utrecht. The most notable examples are New Utrecht High School, New Utrecht Avenue and the famous Historic New Utrecht Reformed Church. Throughout its history, Bensonhurst has undergone many transformations, and yet the one thing that remains constant is that it has always been significantly impacted by the cultures of the different people who have lived there. The first residents were the Lenape Native Americans, specifically the Canarsie tribe. The Lenape were a peaceful tribe, and strongly believed that nature and geology played a crucial part of their culture. They resided in seasonal camps and primarily went fishing and clamming in the area that became New Utrecht.2 Because the Lenape were a seasonally nomadic tribe, it is difficult to piece together what exactly happened to them, since there are not many artifacts that 2 that remain. In fact, the earliest written accounts of the tribe were not from the Lenape themselves, but from the notes of European travelers.

  • Episodes from a Hudson River Town Peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’S 4,200-Foot Slide Mountain, May Have Poked up out of the Frozen Terrain
    1 Prehistoric Times Our Landscape and First People The countryside along the Hudson River and throughout Greene County always has been a lure for settlers and speculators. Newcomers and longtime residents find the waterway, its tributaries, the Catskills, and our hills and valleys a primary reason for living and enjoying life here. New Baltimore and its surroundings were formed and massaged by the dynamic forces of nature, the result of ongoing geologic events over millions of years.1 The most prominent geographic features in the region came into being during what geologists called the Paleozoic era, nearly 550 million years ago. It was a time when continents collided and parted, causing upheavals that pushed vast land masses into hills and mountains and complementing lowlands. The Kalkberg, the spiny ridge running through New Baltimore, is named for one of the rock layers formed in ancient times. Immense seas covered much of New York and served as collect- ing pools for sediments that consolidated into today’s rock formations. The only animals around were simple forms of jellyfish, sponges, and arthropods with their characteristic jointed legs and exoskeletons, like grasshoppers and beetles. The next integral formation event happened 1.6 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch when the Laurentide ice mass developed in Canada. This continental glacier grew unyieldingly, expanding south- ward and retreating several times, radically altering the landscape time and again as it traveled. Greene County was buried.
