<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Ryan,<BR>  <BR>    One resource that might be a good starting point is Yellowstone's "2010 resources and issues" handbook, available on-line at <A href="http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/resourceandissues.htm">http://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/resourceandissues.htm</A>.  I think this annual publication started as a manual for the interpretive rangers, then became available for sale in the YA bookstores and on the internet.  It has sections on frequently asked questions, history of the park, greater Yellowstone ecosystem, geology, life in extreme heat, vegetation, fire, wildlife, and park issues.  The park issues section changes somewhat from year to year but indicates the administration's  major concerns.<BR>  <BR> Lynn Stephens<BR>  <BR>  <BR> <BR> <BR> <HR id=stopSpelling> From: rpmaurer@msn.com<BR>To: geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu<BR>Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 22:37:21 -0400<BR>Subject: [Geysers] Presentation on Yellowstone<BR><BR> <STYLE> .ExternalClass .ecxhmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.ecxhmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;} </STYLE> Hello everyone,  <DIV>I am a 15 y/o student from PA, soon to be 16, and I annually participate in the PA Computer Fair.  The last couple of years I did it on the rockets I design, build, and fly.  Last year I got third in the state competition and this year I got fourth (competition was May 25 so today/yesterday)!</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>My project next year, I am starting it now, is on the park in general and why and possibly bhow we should protect it.  I would like to present issues such as wildlife protection, OF COURSE geothermal feature protection, water resources (lakes rivers etc), and plant life, etc.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Can anyone possibly give me ideas for other resources to protect, some current issues surrounding the protection of the parks features, maybe some statistics on what happens to a geyser basin when drilling occurs?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Also I will be providing a brief history on the park itself, any major events (besides Hebgen Quake, establishment, militia occupations etc)?</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>The presentations is not a slideshow, more like a webpage.  With a home page and links to subtopics and topics within the subtopics etc.  Unlike a webpage it will either be flash or PowerPoint.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>I will be providing credit to all information given and all pictures and/or videos I use in the project and will even try to post a link to download the project once finished.</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Thank you everyone for all of your help and considerations and sorry for the looonnnng message!</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Ryan Maurer</DIV> <br /><hr />Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
