HLSS310M HLSS 310 The United States and Its Critical Infrastructures HLSS 310 American Military University Critical infrastructure sectors refer to the extensive network of connecting bridges, railways, tunnels, buildings, utilities, and highway networks vital in maintaining normality in day-to-day activities. Commerce, clean water, transportation, and electricity all depend on these critical systems. This paper discusses three essential infrastructure systems in the United States; the ener...

Includes an introduction to the Arctic Tundra, factors affecting the carbon and water cycles in the Arctic Tundra, the impact of the developing oil and gas industry on the cycles, and management strategies to moderate the impacts of the oil and gas industry in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. also includes a summary of the similarities/differences between the Amazon Rainforest and Arctic Tundra in relation to changes in the cycles

In-depth notes explaining how human activity influences the water and carbon cycles, using the case studies of the Aral Sea and the River Kennet in South England. Also includes how land use change alters the flows and stores in the water and carbon cycles, as well as monitoring techniques for recording changes to the global cycles.

In-depth notes explaining the importance, the distribution and the global pattern of storage of carbon. Also includes flows in the carbon cycle, carbon sequestration on land and in the oceans, and slow and fast carbon cycles

Explains the importance of water for life on Earth, the water cycle as a system, stores in the global water cycle (e.g. the atmosphere, oceans, ice caps, aquifer systems), and the drainage basin water cycle and the flows of this. Also includes an explanation of flood hydrographs and the water balance.

Detailed notes explaining the current patterns of immigration and emigration in the USA, how the USA influences and drives change in the global migration system, current migration policies, and the interdependence with countries linked to the USA by migration.

Includes an introduction to tropical rainforests , the water and carbon cycles in the Amazon Rainforest and how they are affected by natural factors. Also explains how human activity is affecting the carbon and water cycles in the Amazon Rainforest (using the Madeira River System case study), and management strategies to positively affect the cycles.
