Imagine that you are the Director of Environmental Safety for a major city in the United States. As the director, you are asked to write a press release educating the public on chemical and mechanical weathering of national monuments, such as the limestone buildings in Washington, DC, or important tombs made of limestone throughout the country.

Create an educational brochure that includes the following information:

Definitions of both mechanical and chemical weathering

Descriptions of frost wedging, frost heaving, salt-crystal growth, and exfoliation

Descriptions of hydrolysis, oxidation and carbonation

Explanation of the relationship between chemical and mechanical weathering

Explanation of how human activity affects chemical and mechanical weathering

Format your references consistent with APA guidelines.Use in text references and proper APA format with images including figure number, legend, citation and referral to the images in the text portion of your brochure.

In lieu of a final project you will reflect on each module/week of the course then apply the concepts covered in the course to write a your thoughts on how to address ONE of the scenarios below. Your thoughts on the scenario should reflect a large portion of what we’ve covered in this course… terms, concepts, tools, etc. You do NOT have to cite anything or arrange the reflection in any formal manner.

Your reflection will be graded on the degree you tie the scenario to course material:

number of terms, concepts, and tools applied to scenario

application of those terms, concepts and tools (i.e. are they appropriately applied)

Scenario 2: Impacts of Recreation in the Moab, Utah Area

Outdoor recreation is a $650-billion industry that supports 2.3-million jobs in the Western US and is the economic engine of many small communities. Most of the activity occurs on federally managed land. The ecological, economic, and social impacts of recreation are so substantial that the discipline of recreation ecology has emerged.

You are the owner/operator of an outfitter business (rafting, back-country adventures, campground, fishing expeditions, etc.) in Moab, Utah. In recent years you have noticed considerable ecological degradation because of recreational overuse, and this degradation is reducing the quality of experience you can offer your customers… and its showing in the number of bookings and your net profits. You chat with other recreation business owners and find they are noticing and experiencing the same thing as you and they ask you how they should go about thinking about the issue and what suggestions you have for approaching it. One fellow business owner is also a rancher and reminds the group that cattle graze the area, and this is pronghorn summer habitat.

Scenario 3: Sage Grouse Habitat in Oregon and Idaho

You are a program coordinator for the .(CBD) asked to spearhead development of a proposal to address the dwindling population of Sage Grouse in Oregon and Idaho. You know that the viability of Sage Grouse is very closely tied with the integrity of sagebrush steppe ecosystems. However urbanization, recreation, grazing, and invasives species and woody species encroachment is dramatically reducing the availability and integrity of sage grouse habitat. You focus your campaign around balancing land uses. You select a pilot project area that encompasses 5,000 acres that produces 3,102 lbs/acre of forage which needs to provide for 350 head of cattle, approximately 125 pronghorn, 285 black-tail deer, 75 wintering elk, and 60 wild horses. Within the 5000 acres is an designated off-road vehicle recreation, and a popular hiking/camping area. The pilot project area is adjacent to an expanding town, and a number of ranches that produce hay.

Scenario 4: Rangeland Conversion to Cropland or Subdivisions in Intermountain Region

You are the county natural resource specialist for a town in the intermountain region of the Western US. The town was once a ranching community, but turned to tourism to survive 20 years ago during an economic down turn. The ranchers on the outskirts of town own large swaths of land on which they historically ran successful ranching operations, but today they are struggling and under pressure to either expand agricultural operations or sell their land to make way for the expanding footprint of the town. What should county planners be thinking about as they strategize on how to keep the rural quality of the area and lifestyle while ensuring the economic growth and viability of the town?
