Topic: Applying Odum's systems ecology to Troy, NY. By applying Ohm's law, and complex ecological analysis, I will create a model of a local ecosystem and all its components. 1. What is the value of ecological analysis? How might they be applied? 2. How do general systems exist and interact with the environment? 3. What are the ecological harms caused by the system? 4. How might mathematics be applied to ecology? Links: http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/overview/social-ecologicalmodel.html
