A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Floods can have numerous causes such as, a river or stream overflowing its banks, excessive rain, a ruptured dam or levee, and even rapid ice melting in the mountains. All of the above will lead the water to move onto the adjacent piece of land known as a floodplain. Coastal flooding, on the other hand, occurs when a large storm or tsunami causes the sea to surge inland. Since floods take anywhere from a couple of hours and even days to develop, residents are able to evacuate on time and are warned by officials early before the flooding takes place. Yet, there are also flash floods that generate very quickly and are very dangerous since they occur with little to no warning. Over recent decades, possibly due to climate change, floods have been occurring more often and have caused more damage than ever before. The problems with these floods are the amount of destruction they cause, any poorly built structures will be demolished and even well built structures can be demolished due to the water seeking into the buildings foundations and dragging dirt from under it. Bridges, houses, trees, cars, and people can easily be carried off by the force of this water. Even after a flood recedes, the outcome is devastating, the ground is left with silt and mud. Both the water and landscape can be contaminated with hazardous material, such as sharp debris, pesticides, untreated sewage and even fuel. Mold will overwhelm the water soaked structures. The residents of the flooded areas are left with no power and no clean water, which can cause them to get many waterborne diseases such as typhoid or cholera. Most flood destruction is attributed to humans wanting to live close to the water and in turn taking up the floodplain space used to keep floods from spreading into villages, towns, and cities. Floods are a very natural entity and have helped agriculture throughout the history of the world due to fertile floodplains. But if humans live on these floodplains then the floodplains can no longer act as buffers to stop the flood from happening, therefore the flood spreads to more populated areas. The biggest solution would be to not build on flood plains and let the flood plains do all of the work, yet new buildings are built on these plains every year, leaving the people who inhabit them at risk.

Ice Storms

Wintertime comes the notorious winter weather that can sometimes be dangerous for us, such as ice storms. Resulting from cold rain that freezes upon contact with the ground or an object with a below freezing surface temperature, ice storms can topple power lines and trees, and make roads difficult or impossible to drive on due to the slippery surface. Sometimes the ice becomes so heavy that it can split trees in half. In fact, an New York ice storm in 1998 caused $1.4 billion worth of damage in damage to trees. 

Because of the large number of transportation facilities in cities, they tend to suffer greater damage from ice storms than rural areas.  Driving is also unsafe during or after an ice storm because cars can slip on the ice and veer off of the road. These ice storms also tend to occur mostly in the Midwest and Northeast, and primarily during the months of December and January. 

To prepare for these potentially devastating storms, several precautions can be taken in order to make sure you stay safe:

- Unplug appliances that take up a lot of electricity. If there were to be a power outage, the prolonged low amount of voltage those appliances would still be receiving could damage motors and compressors. 

- Always keep candles, matches, batteries, and functional flashlights and battery-operated radios at hand. 

- Make sure the refrigerator’s door stays closed in order to keep food cold and fresh. Frozen foods should be okay for up to 2 days, but perishable food should be thrown out if it has been kept at 40 degrees for more than 2 hours. Odor and appearance are also good indicators of whether or not a food is still good, but if the food seems even slightly off, it’s better to just toss it out. 

- If you have a gallstone-run generator, don’t run it in the house, as the fumes could prove to be deadly. 

- Also keep fuels away from wood stoves, kerosene heaters and fireplaces, ventilate them properly if you’re using them, and don’t leave the flame unattended.

CAFOS (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations)

As the population of the United States, and the world for that matter, continues to climb, we often face the obstacle of providing food for everyone. 

As a result, some people have decided that the solution to this issue is to try to raise and farm hundreds or even thousands of animals at the same time. The problem with this is, although more livestock can be farmed this way, the livestock are not healthy while they live. In addition, running a CAFOS farm is more expensive than farming organically (free range farm). 

In a free range farm, animals are raised in an environment that mimics their natural one. Because they are not raised in huge numbers, they do not need to be given steroids or antibiotic shots, so their meat is much healthier, not to mention it is less expensive to raise them that way anyway. In free range farms, animals eat their “normal” diet, like grass for cattle, unlike corn and soy they would be given on a CAFO.

The State of Our Oceans

As you may already know, water is a limited, non renewable resource. About 72% of the Earth is covered by water, and 96.5% of Earth’s water lay in its oceans, with the other 3.5% being in lakes, rivers, streams, icebergs, ice caps, and water vapor. Only about 4% of all of Earth’s water, however, is suitable for drinking and domestic use. 

With such a limited supply of water to use, it is crucial to take care of our oceans and other water resources and the organisms living there. 

In recent years, marine animals have been dying on account of trash disposed in oceans. These animals may mistake our garbage for food, or they may simply be caught in it as they swim. 

When plastics are dumped into the ocean, they may block out sunlight, causing autotrophs, organisms who produce their own nutrition from sunlight, like plankton and algae below to be deprived of their food source. If plankton and algae populations are threatened, so will the animals who eat them, like fish and turtles. If there is less food for fish and turtles, there will also be less food for tuna, sharks and whales. The entire system could collapse if too much plastic blocks out sunlight.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “So what?” or “Why should I care?”

Well...

No Child Left Inside Day

I really like the name given to Tuesday of Earth Science Week: No Child Left Inside day. This photo shows a US Forest Service interpretive guide teaching a group of children about the geology of Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska, a rapidly retreating glacier near Juneau, Alaska. This is what we want to happen on NCLI day – kids get outside and experience all that this planet has to offer.

Anyone out there running any events for this year’s No Child Left Inside day? If so, let us know in the comments below!

In Reflection

By Patrick   

My time with NCLI is nearly at an end, and as such the time has come to reflect on my experiences. I have found NCLI fantastically enjoyable, and I have learned a lot from it. It was a great opportunity in many ways. I was able to do many things I already enjoyed, such as working with children, hiking, and other outdoor activities. I was also, however, exposed to many new things, such as multimedia projects like this tumblr blog and leadership training. I learned a lot about what effects we have on our environment and what steps we can take to reduce them. There were other things I learned too, often just interesting tidbits of environmental knowledge, and I deeply appreciate those as well. Overall, NCLI was a fantastic part of my life and I’ll miss it when it’s gone.
