Each of the three major sections--chemistry, biology,and physics--addresses concepts that are generally covered inthose courses but incorporates aspects of marinescience. Within each 6 section, major concepts such as density, pH,photosynthesis, respiratim and sound are supported by student activities.Each activity contains background reading materials, amaterial.: list, procedures for completing the activity, and extensionideas. At the end of each concept division, references, resources,and education competencies are listed. The chemistry sectionincludes activities on chemical reactions in the marine environment; densitydynamics and estuaries; pH, equilibrium and ocean buffering; andbehavior of gases in the marine environment. The biology sectionincludes activities on new discoveries; biochemistry; animaladaptations; geologic history and the oceans; seashells and scientific names;behavior of ocean creatures; and man and the ocean. The physics sectionincludes activities on the motion of the ocean, sound, and light inthe sea.

  • Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks
    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks, Oregon and Washington Geologic Resources Division Prepared by John Graham National Park Service January 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a Geologic Resources Inventory report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks (LEWI) on October 14, 2009 at Fort Clatsop Visitors Center, Oregon. Meeting Facilitator Bruce Heise of the Geologic Resources Division (NPS GRD) introduced the Geologic Resources Inventory program and led the discussion regarding geologic processes, features, and issues at Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks. GIS Facilitator Greg Mack from the Pacific West Regional Office (NPS PWRO) facilitated the discussion of map coverage. Ian Madin, Chief Scientist with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), presented an overview of the region’s geology. On Thursday, October 15, 2009, Tom Horning (Horning Geosciences) and Ian Madin (DOGAMI) led a field trip to several units within Lewis and Clark National and State Historical Parks.

The mapping methodology is summarized in Harney et al (2008). This data summary report provides information on geomorphic and biological features of 4,694 km of shoreline mapped for the 2012 survey of Northwest Alaska. The habitat inventory is comprised of 3,469 along-shore segments (units), averaging 1,353 m in length (note that the AK Coast 1:63,360 digital shoreline shows this mapping area encompassing 3,095 km, but mapping data based on better digital shorelines represent the same area with 4,694 km stretching along the coast). Organic/estuary shorelines (such as estuaries) are mapped along 744.4 km (15.9%) of the study area. Bedrock shorelines (Shore Types 1-5) are extremely limited along the shoreline with only 0.2% mapped. Close to half of the shoreline is classified as Tundra (44.3%) with low, vegetated peat the most commonly occurring tundra shore type. Approximately a third (34.1%) of the mapped coastal environment is characterized as sediment-dominated shorelines (Shore Types 21-30).

Blue Origin is already flying FAA/AST licensed unmanned commercial suborbital research flights from their private spaceport in west Texas and expect to begin testing their New Shepard vehicle with onboard crews this year. Virgin Galactic should begin powered flight tests on the second SpaceShipTwo in 2018 with commercial suborbital tourism flights potentially beginning in 2019. For orbital commercial spaceflight, SpaceX and Boeing should both be- gin flight testing and enter initial commercial flight service to the ISS before the close of 2019. These suborbital and orbital vehicle programs now provide a solid business foundation for the development of dedicated commercial spaceflight training programs to enable safe and enjoyable spaceflight experiences for commercial customers. Blue Abyss Ltd. is developing a dedicated spaceflight training facility and associated training curricula in Central Bedfordshire about an hour north of central London. The facility will be located at the former RAF Henlow base as part of a regional development plan for the Oxford { Cambridge Technology Corridor.
