U would probably be underwater honestly

The Louisiana bayou and the Philippine coastal marshes are some of my favorite wetlands. Mosquitoes and chiggers and banana spiders and scorpions and centipedes and jungle bees and tank ants don't bother me, water moccasins and gator and catfish are delicious, snakes are fun to hang out with, and mudskippers make excellent bait or you can fry up a couple of dozen of them in a pinch if you're hungry. You can catch crawdads with your bare hands, pick delta oysters off the rocks at the estuary, keep a preying mantis or stick bug as a pet, and river shrimp are plentiful. The weather is almost always hot and humid with the occasional monsoonal or hurricane downpour, which is just the way I like it, like a nice comfortable blanket, and the loud sounds of insects and monkeys and birds at night put me right to sleep. Heaven on earth. Too many people only know the sedate, boring life around temperature forests or Mediterranean pastoral blandness. I'll take a wetland, scrub land, or tropical rainforest anytime over such places.

I can't claim to be an expert Rosario, but the thing you need more than anything else in building bogs is lots and lots of time! Fens can be built relatively quickly though. All you need is a way to trap the water in a flat area so that the water isn't so deep as to prevent the growth of plants from the bottom to the water surface. Good luck with your project.

In the West there's often a historical association of death, disease, or even the demonic with wetlands due to the presence of most of those in the days before modern medicine. I find these areas to be some of the most spiritual though, and very metaphoric for the spiritual and the life which water provides.

Another wonderful subject overview video . An interesting wetland ecologically and sociologically is the Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta, which is the largest inland river delta and estuary on the west coast of the U.S. at 738,000 acres. It supplies a huge amount of water for human consumption and agriculture in California. The regulation of inflow and harvesting of water from this delta has been a complex issue for the authorities, politicians and scientists alike. It lies along a main migratory route for birds, which is only one of the critical reasons that this wetland be preserved in a healthy state.

@@nunyabailey Hydrology engineer. For example you can become a geophysician doing water prospecting, which is similar to prospecting for ores (valuable rocks) but to water instead. If climate is interesting too then maybe enviromental engineer could be something for you. That could be about sampling concentrations of different ions (atoms) in water from industry or mines and see if there's any detectable pollution (that is, a deviation from natural concentrations) or see how vulnerable the enviroment is to pollution in terms of soil like if it's clay or sand if the company that has hired you is planning to change/add infrastructure that could affect it negatively. You could be an enviromental consultant, waste engineer, become an expert on contaminated soil, and so on. It's pretty nisch compared to other sorts of engineering, but I think it's quite fun and will generally be quite an attracted job for the future. Anyway I think that if you want to work with both geology and climate then hydrology is probably the standard. That's what I'm studying. This is engineering so you will probably need to pass some courses in math, physics and chemistry in order to seek these sort of educations.

Hey, so about the deforestation in Ireland. The production of peat on the uplands is evidence that this did occur thousands of years ago, before the Romans, and possibly the Celts, but obviously after the last ice age that ended 10-12,000 years ago. Because it would have taken that long for the peat to develop. Also, I believe there are Roman accounts that describe it as a bare and treeless isle, but need to check on that. Same with Scotland.

India's climate varies widely due to its vast size and diverse geography. Generally, it can be classified into tropical monsoon, tropical wet and dry, desert, and mountain climates. The majority experience a hot tropical climate with variations in rainfall patterns. Coastal regions are humid, while inland areas can be arid. Summers are typically hot, with temperatures exceeding 40°C in many regions, while winters are mild to cool. The monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rainfall, vital for agriculture but also causing floods. Northern regions experience snowfall in winter. Overall, India's climate reflects its rich geographical and climatic diversity.

Don´t fear a climate change. You can put more and more CO2 in the air, but the "change" will stop at one point. This happens, when all the summary of light which can be modified into heat by CO2 is modified. The light spectrum which is absorbed by CO2 is easy to find. So: If you want a higher temperature you have to rise the amount of light coming in! This is as if you want to sift some sand to 4mm. You may install five sieves after the first, but they will stay empty. Because the first sieve has done it´s work. so if the work of a amount of CO2 is finally done, there is no reason of danger by tuning the amount up. Because the source of energy has not turned up: This is this thing we call sun. The only climate change happens in the people´s minds.
