“When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst,
then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them.
I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys.
I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground.
I will plant trees in the barren desert – cedar, acacia, myrtle, olive, cypress, fir, and pine.
I am doing this so all who see this miracle will understand what it means –
that it is the Lord who has done this, the Holy One of Israel who created it.”
Isaiah 41:17-20
Hi,
Chapter 7 looks at water – one of the most plentiful resources on the planet. It is also one of the most precious things on earth. Water is an intimate part of the atmospheric system. We experience water in the atmosphere as humidity, fog, rain, snow, clouds, ice storms, and so forth (nothing any of us knows anything about!).
In this chapter we will look at the role water plays in our weather.
On the Crandall Moodle site you can see who else is in the class. Feel free to work together — studying, on assignments, etc. (sorry, not on exams). Just remember to think for yourself — your friends may not always have the right answer.
This week, please:
- Read online notes 7 and Chapter 7 in the text
- Indicate your readings from last week on Moodle (simple true/false).
- We will have a Zoom session on Thursday, February 13, 6 pm, to help you prepare for the Midterm Exam. Link: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/68436731589?pwd=JMKz8fHjLkWYBzINLSWvFN2YGCUOox.1 Passcode: 2025
- Make a great contribution to the online discussion group on Moodle by Saturday midnight. This is a great way to get to know your classmates. And they are relatively easy marks.
- The Midterm Exam is scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2-4 pm on Campus in MH 292. Students with accommodations, please coordinate with Kenzie Baker. A study guide is here.
I send you weekly announcements through the Crandall Moodle site: please check your Crandall email regularly.
If you have questions, get in touch with me right away! Email works best: bruce.martin@crandallu.ca. I should respond within 24 hours on weekdays. Weekends, I take off.
