Urban Environmental Geography. SALT LAKE COUNTY - HYDROLOGY 101 --- Lecture for Wednesday, April 7.

  ANNOUNCEMENTS (below):

  REVIEW (below)

Review Midterm

Luis’ presentation

Review Science concepts of GEOG3330.

Review components … analysis of a city’s urban environmental geography

 

Begin… CASE STUDIES – Urban Environmental Geographies… (toward final exam).

  ANNOUNCEMENTS

Announcement #1 –

Field trip; Participants; Drivers… status LINK and PREVIEW of HANDOUT and... sign the waiver of UofU

 

Announcement #2 –

Your binder with assignments (Atlas Part One…  )

 

Announcement #3 –

Congratulations… we’ve explored Earths systems… “Encounter Geosystems”… all of it

 

REVIEW …

Luis’ presentation of Chapter 17, the wrap-up chapter of Encounter Geosystems

 

Review: Midterm – handed back… LINK

 

Review: Where are we heading?

The Plan for this part of the course.

Get a construct (explain)…

Use it, use it, use it.

Practice, practice, practice

By the end of this course

(a) you’ll have a good sense, anywhere you are, of Earth systems. (Almost there already.)

(b) including paths of pollutants.

Geosphere

Hydrosphere

Atmosphere

Biosphere

Anthrosphere.

 

LECTURES and exercises we’ll begin in class, and sometimes finish at home or the next session. They may not be easy to do on your own. I encourage you to come to class and participate.

 

TODAY – we review and improve the outline (the construct) we’ll use through the semester and on your final exam.

 

HW15 - YOUR ASSIGNMENT— today and Wednesday we’ll complete the form and test it.

FOR FULL CREDIT… write a thoughtful comment for each topic. THOUGHTFUL means: it reflects understanding of why the topic affects a city’s environmental geography.

AND provide a total of three websites or figures from Christopherson for sources for specific information we need for each of the analyses we do. Note: different sections for different sets of folks in the class.  Each person is assigned two topics AND one for the anthrosphere. Five minute rule for each of the three topics… but hunt for at least 5 minutes for one or two great sites. Work independently.

  Geography is

LOCATION – Google Earth

Latitude

Latitudinal zone
