record of the environmental conditions at the time of its formation. Over time the snow, buried under further accumulations, is compacted to ice, preserving the climatic information. Air bubbles trapped in the ice can be analyzed to reconstruct the atmospheric composition at the time when the ice formed. Measurements of the amount of greenhouse gases in these bubbles show that the "pre-industrial" amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was about 280 parts per million (ppm), about 100 ppm below today's (2006)

and even death. We are destroying our planet because we over used the resources that we have. The atmospheric issue that I chose is global warming, and the indoor air pollutant is Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Climate change is changing our health, economy, and communities. Climate change is an increase in the temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. The air pollutants that contribute to this issue are chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide green house gases, and aerosols. These air

Research has shown that both fluorescence and photoprotection generate detectible leaf- and canopy-scale reflectance changes that are highly correlated with LUE at both the leaf and forest stand levels. Current research includes study of how these biophysical changes, with significant leaf- and forest-level reflectance correlations, can be used to quantify the degree of photosynthetic down-regulation in a spatially continuous mode. Future research directions could take the following forms. Development

the need to search and find a new planet to colonize and settle on has become a dire issue. The planet Venus is a perfect choice because of its similarities to Earth’s atmospheric and gravitational characteristics. Listed are some of the main characteristics positive and negative: Positive * Has gravity roughly similar to Earth and a think atmosphere that would protect you from radiation * The atmospheric pressure is the same as earth’s at an altitude of 50 – 60 kilometers from the surface
