This three panel triptych illustrates historical, predevelopment conditions in the North Central United States, in comparison to the current state, and future trajectory of land and water use. Historically, the region adapted and rebounded from droughts, however, with human use and climate change, the resilience of the North Central United States against drought is reaching an unknown state.
Historical, predevelopment conditions in the…
The landscapes of the Northeast and Midwest depend on abundant and relatively predictable seasonal water regimes. Human uses of water compete with environmental flows for aquatic species, especially during drought periods. Climate change is predicted to increase temperatures and precipitation variability in the Northeast United States, causing shifts in seasonality.
Potential shifts in seasonality in the Northeast…

At an Aug 2016 report card workshop in Sisal Mexico, scientists and representatives from the local government and private sector assembled to begin the process of developing an ecosystem health assessment of the Yucatan State coastline. This map diagram reflects the three possible ecosystem health indicators (biodiversity, habitat, and water) chosen by workshop participants and their preliminary qualitative assessment of the condition of those indicators.

The mantis shrimp is a crustacean with a flattened, segmented body and praying mantis-like claws. It burrows within muddy flats along the shoreline of the middle and lower Chesapeake Bay. Mantis shrimp eat live fish, crabs, worms and shrimp, including other mantis shrimp. They are aggressive, violent predator, using their sharp claws to spear or slice through prey with a quick, slashing motion.
