Threats to and the protection of coral reefs, you will be asked to integrate three quality resources into your paper.

Like Google Scholar, or governmental website0, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Key terms likely to produce useful results include ocean acidification, coral bleaching, and ocean temperature.

Explain to your classmates why you selected this particular resource.
Describe three major points you learned from this resource that you didn’t know before about threats to and the protection of coral reefs.
Explain how you will incorporate this information into your paper.

Suppose you were hiking along a stream or lake and became thirsty. Would it be safe to drink the water? In many cases, it wouldn’t. Contaminants affect fresh water on or beneath Earth’s surface. Though the sources of these contaminants vary, all can make water unfit to drink if they are allowed to increase beyond safe limits.

In this lab, you will:

Analyze the tests results of water samples from a variety of fresh water sources.
Determine how to treat the water samples to make them safe to drink.

Causality. Does quantum mechanics support a particular account of causation? (1500 Word Limit)

Readings. You should draw on either Norton (2003) or Salmon (1980) as a concrete account of causation. For example, you could argue that quantum mechanics does/does not support Norton’s view of causation as folk science, or that QM does/does not support a probabilistic view of causation.
Norton (2003):

Salmon (1980):

Background. A central topic of your discussion should be the notion of a superposition and the probabilistic predictions of quantum mechanics, so be sure to give at least a brief overview of how this works (although you will not have space to recapitulate the entire theory).

Extra Readings:

First page will be the chemistry of your atom, molecule or compound, second page will be health, medical, human biological, and/or nursing relevance. It must by two full pages of text, with scientific references on the third page. Any figure should be small in size. Anything short of two pages of text will not get full credit, if you are unsure your can continue your text into the third page just to be sure. No scientific “news” or “health news” sites should be used as references due to their poor accuracy. Academic publications like journal articles, University sites discussing research findings, text books, or sites like the CDC, WHO, NIH etc. can be used. Any chemistry we learned in class is relevant for the chemistry section. The papers will be reviewed by Turn IT In, scanning for plagiarism

Paper on iodine

For this assignment, please write a minimum of 300 words in a discussion-style format. In other words, no intro or conclusions are required. This assignment is worth 50 Points, and will be submitted as a file attachment to Canvas. Turnitin.com will review your discussion for plagiarism as well.

Please choose any example in the news from the past six months that demonstrates some sort of rift between the U.S. Government and the scientific community. Discuss this news, in the context of the sometimes contentious relationship between scientists and government officials. What is the rift, and why do you think it exists?

(This assignment meets GELO 2: Demonstrate ways in which science influences and is influenced by complex societies, including political and moral issues)

Please read the rules and regulations below concerning this assignment.

Your discussion needs to be at least 300 words! Points will be taken off if your discussion is less than 300 words. Also, your discussion must be written by you, in your own words. If you cut and paste text from another source, and present it as your own writing, you would be plagiarizing, and that can get you kicked out of the class, and the whole CSU system!

Also, please cite your sources using any legitimate citation method you are comfortable with. Points will be taken off for lacking or incorrect citations. Please write clearly and with complete sentences and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and in-text citations.

This is a group work, and what you need to do research and write about:

1.Why we care about climate change
(why we put climate change and real estate together) 
(my part is about: water) in the context of real estate ?(what will the real estate market do in their way dealing with water affect climate change?)
2. what are real estate companies’ adaptations to water aspect in climate change, what are their Business risks & opportunities in water resources (maybe can look at SHK’s website and talk about SHK in some aspects, but can talk about the general real estate market in most of the parts), what are the Environmental impacts of their behavior, especially their ways of dealing with water aspect.
