Assignment #2

I will meet you there. You will need to print out the study assignment and bring it with you.

You will hand in the completed study sheets on Wed 23th April.

I need to have information that is readable and understandable. Use complete sentences and labeled diagrams where appropriate.

I would like you to describe what you saw (or learnt) in the park in terms of atmosphere, lithosphere, lithosphere-soil, and biosphere. Please use at least some of the terms on the worksheet. Also do the calculation for sea-level rise.

Clothing and activities

We will be starting in the forest and going down to the beach on a forest trail which is slippery in spots. If your walking capability is limited, please talk to me and we will arrange an alternate meeting place.

Bring:

Shoes that you don’t mind getting wet or muddy. No flip flops! No high heels!

Warm clothing. It is always 10 degrees cooler here than on the OC campus

Bring a waterproof or umbrella if there is any possibility or rain

Pencil and pen

A clipboard, or something like it, to press on.
