Project management people skills include:

Gram Stain: GPC in clusters BAP Morphology: Beta hemolytic, golden colonies Tests: Catalase positive; Coagulase positive Diseases: TSS What is your Presumptive ID?

Strep agalactiae gives this reaction to Bacitracin disc

Match the appropriate color to the correct Hazardous Materials classification

Gram Stain: GPC in chains BAP Morphology: Alpha hemolytic colonies Tests: Catalase negative; ‘P’ disc resistant; BE negative.  Diseases: Endocarditis What is your Presumptive ID?

Background: As global temperatures rise, melting occurs on the surface of polar glaciers. This meltwater trickles down through cracks in the glacier, reaching its base. At the glacier’s base, the water acts as a lubricant between the ice and the bedrock, allowing the glacier to slide. Part A: Explain how the sliding of glaciers into the ocean, driven by this lubrication process, could influence global temperatures. Be sure to describe the mechanism through which this process affects the climate system. Part B: Propose an intervention to slow this glacier sliding process and explain how it would work in terms of modifying the described mechanism.

Based on your readings, which of these is the best definition for what an ecosystem service is?

Part 2. Data Interpretation Questions (3 points each – 21 points)

In 1992, mangrove forests along the southern Florida coast and the Florida Keys were severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew. Up to 94% mortality was recorded in some areas, with only the shortest individuals surviving. Scientists have monitored the region and by 2001, the forest canopy had closed and the main species were rapidly gaining biomass. This is an example of

Deforestation in areas like Madagascar can significantly affect the water cycle. Why is this?
