Includes an introduction to tropical rainforests , the water and carbon cycles in the Amazon Rainforest and how they are affected by natural factors. Also explains how human activity is affecting the carbon and water cycles in the Amazon Rainforest (using the Madeira River System case study), and management strategies to positively affect the cycles.

Explains the importance of water for life on Earth, the water cycle as a system, stores in the global water cycle (e.g. the atmosphere, oceans, ice caps, aquifer systems), and the drainage basin water cycle and the flows of this. Also includes an explanation of flood hydrographs and the water balance.

In-depth notes explaining the importance, the distribution and the global pattern of storage of carbon. Also includes flows in the carbon cycle, carbon sequestration on land and in the oceans, and slow and fast carbon cycles

Includes an introduction to the Arctic Tundra, factors affecting the carbon and water cycles in the Arctic Tundra, the impact of the developing oil and gas industry on the cycles, and management strategies to moderate the impacts of the oil and gas industry in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. also includes a summary of the similarities/differences between the Amazon Rainforest and Arctic Tundra in relation to changes in the cycles

In-depth notes explaining how human activity influences the water and carbon cycles, using the case studies of the Aral Sea and the River Kennet in South England. Also includes how land use change alters the flows and stores in the water and carbon cycles, as well as monitoring techniques for recording changes to the global cycles.

In-depth notes explaining how the water and carbon cycles are linked and interdependent via the earth's atmosphere, oceans, vegetation and soil, and the cryosphere, and the long term impact of climate change on the carbon and water cycles. Also explains global management strategies to protect the carbon cycle and water cycles.

These Coastal Landform notes have been created with a variety of different sources to make sure the whole specification has been covered. The notes have been able to achieve A* for the 2 students that have used them. These notes cover a variety of topics such as: how coastal landscapes can be viewed as systems, different influencers on coastal landscapes, how landscapes develop (processes), low and high energy coastlines (case studies), human impact on coastal landscape systems (with case studie...
