Almost the entire state of Nevada is a freakin military controlled zone.  Nuclear waste disposal from Yucca Mountain, weapons testing or training or some other crap.  LV is pretty much an extension of Southern CA, and should be annexed as such... Sorry if i don't have studies...but if you have access to lexis-nexis..you should use it....or Jstor, or Proquest  (available at your local junior college library)

Depending on the location of landfall, there can be numerous effects on the environment. In general, you can expect severe damage to trees and plants which will affect wildlife habitat for some time. Plant life is easily defoliated and trees uprooted during high wind/rain events.\n\nAnother possible impact could be pollution to the surface and groundwater. Storm surge and heavy rains can easily cause water treatment plants to overflow and contaminate fresh water sources. Near by agricultural lands could also cause water contamination if the become flooded. Pollution would impact fish and other animals that depend on the fresh water supply.\n\nCoastal areas, including coral reefs and sand quality, are usually devastated by hurricanes too. Damage to corals can cause an imbalance to coastal ocean aquatic life.\n\nThere are many affects of hurricanes on the environment and people, but above just describes a few. Doing a key word search for "coastal hurricane impacts" or "hurricane impact on ecosystem" might give you more information

during manufacturing processec, the enviroment go true many effects some of theese effects are pollution of the athmosohere that is the oxygen issometimes being polluted and alsoif waste is not mannaged, it can also cause land pollution thats land degradation.

Environmental Analysis\nAn environmental analysis is the four dimension of the External Analysis. The interest is in environmental trends and events that have the potential to affect strategy. This analysis should identify such trends and events and the estimate their likelihood and impact. When conducting this type of analysis, it is easy to get bogged down in an extensive, broad survey of trends. It is necessary to restrict the analysis to those areas relevant enough to have significant impact on strategy.\n\nThis analysis is divided into five areas: economic, technological, political-legal, sociocultural, and future.\n\nEconomic\nWhat economic trends might have an impact on business activity? (Interest rates, inflation, unemployment levels, energy availability, disposable income, etc)\n\nTechnological\nTo what extent are existing technologies maturing?\nWhat technological developments or trends are affecting or could affect our industry?\n\nGovernment\nWhat changes in regulation are possible? What will their impact be on our industry?\nWhat tax or other incentives are being developed that might affect strategy development?\nAre there political or government stability risks?\n\nSociocultural\nWhat are the current or emerging trends in lifestyle, fashions, and other components of culture? What are there implications?\nWhat demographic trends will affect the market size of the industry? (growth rate, income, population shifts) Do these trends represent an opportunity or a threat?\n\nFuture\nWhat are significant trends and future events?\nWhat are the key areas of uncertainty as to trends or events that have the potential to impact strategy?

Most territory that's not covered by a city would be Alaska.  Interesting, Nevada looks to have the highest percentage of non-improved land.

Hard to think of many.  I suppose it keeps the population density down somewhat in a given area.  This leads to less skirmishes between neighbors, or at least one might think so.\n\nInfrastructure resources (roads, transportations systems, buildings) aren't as tightly packed, which allows for some degree of future expansion.  Current designs typically design in more green space for water drainage and buffering, noise reduction and aesthetics.

Pahrump seems very overhyped to me!   its 45minutes from Vegas, not warm in winter since its in the mountains and there is still tons of rednecks living there. \n\nIn ten years, it will be mix of upper class suburbanites and trailerpark whitetrash... The price for land and houses is only 5% less than in the suburbs of Vegas so its not worth the travel time\n\nBoulder City and Nevada landing are the vegas vicinity areas worth investing in.

Your best bet is to submit detailed proposals to foundations that support environmental activities. Good luck!\n\ncc

Effects of deforestation.\n\nthis can be a local problem with global consequences.\n\ncan be biology and chemsitry (maybe physics as well, heat flows etc.)

Just google pollution and recylcing.  You can get images for your report that way too.

I think Del Mar already banned smoking, including sidewalks, beaches, and other outdoor public places.  Definitely other cities will follow suit, especially after the state of CA already classified 2nd hand smoke as a toxic substance.

I direct your attention to the movie Bladrunner sans the flying cars. Dark, dingy, overcrowded, polluted, dangerous, with no effort to develop aesthetics outside. Large self contained environmental buildings that are able to lock out poor elements of society and provide living/working and social/entertainment facilities in one space. Travel will be nearly non-existent and most contact will be thru networks.\n\nI am glad I will be gone by then...

It's there, I'm sure. Vegas is so transit it has to be. BUT be careful, because of this fact eviction laws are in th favor of the landlord. So be prepared to pay a hefty security deposit, etc. Vegas has "been there and done that" (they are well aware of the average "get rich dreamers" that will eventually leave the landlords high and dry, if they're not careful).

In relation to Environmental issues in Denali. From a personal perspective I'd have to say encroachment from the human species.All along the park entrance business's hotel's,shops and restaurants are being built.Then on top of that the number of climbers has increased over the years. So much that the park service is now limiting more the permits for climbing denali. As far as humans inside the park. It has been fairly much controlled by severely limiting the amount of vehicles allowed on the park road.Now as far as just things affeting the environment I would probably say global warming and smoke from regional fires are about the only things I know that might be affecting the area.Glacial retreat may be a problem in the future.

Any effects or technology in particular?\n\nTo answer your question I would suggest that a city is a technology itself:\n\n- Roads, sidewalks, bridges for transportation\n- Powerlines, lights, wires for power distribution\n- Aqueducts, sewers, pipelines for resources and waste\n- Parks, public spaces, and public art for people\n- Telephone, cable, and wireless for data networks\n\nAdvances in technology will be applied to cities in ways that support or enhance these functions.
