Louisiana. I am majoring in Environmental Studies with minors in both Philosophy and Anthropology. Over the last three years I have taken an array of courses covering topics in ecology, biology, botany, oceanography and resource management. Two of these courses, Environmental Sociology and Plants and Human Affairs, sparked my interest in the relationship between humans and the environment. This interest has inspired me to seek opportunities researching environmental stressors of ecosystems and their

There is no doubt that today’s society is pushing the limits of Earth. Through oil drilling in the Middle East to the increasing amounts of pollution found in China, it is only a matter of time when the citizens of Earth will begin to feel the effects of reaching our carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is limited to the maximum population size and resources an environment can hold and sustain indefinitely. For example, the movie, Human Population Dynamics discusses the idea that all 6.5 billion
Intro A wild mustang’s responses to abiotic and biotic factors can either be forced or an inclination. Their natural instinctive responses come out with mating, climate, competition, defense, food availability, and communication, while they are forced to respond to climate, and pollution.
