In this interactive activity from the American Museum of Natural History, play connect the dots and discover the connections between the people, animals, and plants in three habitats of the Dzanga-Sangha rain forest in the Central African Republic.
This course provides a review of physical, chemical, ecological, and economic principles used to examine interactions between humans and the natural environment. Mass balance concepts are applied to ecology, chemical kinetics, hydrology, and transportation; energy balance concepts are applied to building design, ecology, and climate change; and economic and life cycle concepts are applied to resource evaluation and engineering design. Numerical models are used to integrate concepts and to assess environmental impacts of human activities. Problem sets involve development of MATLAB® models for particular engineering applications. Some experience with computer programming is helpful but not essential.
This video, edited from footage produced for Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures, the Ocean Adventures team explores the world of a species of turtle found in the Amazon Basin and how climate change can have devastating consequences for their survival.
