Assignment Task:

Review the article: The dying Glaciers of California By Jeremy Miller and respond the following.

The questions you will need to answer/analyze in paragraph form in your main post are:

1. How did John Muir and Josiah Whitney differ on their theories of how Yosemite Valley formed?

2. In 1872, what was John Muir's data collection method for testing if glaciers are alive (moving)?

3. What is the data on the diminishing glaciers of the American West? The world? What does this melting coincide with?

4. Since record keeping began, what does the temperature record show for California and how does it affect the show pack in the Sierras?

You are discussing the article by answering these questions. Having a one or two sentence response to a question will not get you full points. Also make sure to answer all aspects of each question

For each reply, make sure that you continue the discussion of the main post you are replying to by using information from the article along with answering one of the two following questions. Do not just reiterate what the student already analyzed in the main post. Make sure to discuss different topics from the article in the two replies. Besides continuing the conversation, answer the following questions, one in each reply:

1. When a glacier disappears, what are the effects on the local ecology?

2. What did the research find about the difference between the Lyell and Maclure Glaciers in Yosemite?

Since there are points attached to both replies and fully analyzing the two questions, they need to be different. No outside academic sources are needed for this discussion, and the questions based on the information provided in the article. Since you will be using information from the article, citations within your writing are required along with a bibliography at the end.
