[uwcnetwork.org] New IB subject only at Pearson: Marine Science: “Even if these students don't go on to become marine scientists, providing them with an awareness and appreciation of this amazing environment is crucial to their development as good global citizens. The human impact on the oceans is enormous, and the more understanding the students have about the significance of the oceans, the more likely they are to make decisions to minimise their negative impact on them.”

[College Confidential] help!! IB or MCB - College Confidential: My D did not declare a major until end of year two and she found she was too late to really make MCB work so she went IB, all along she had been interested in bio, but had heard stories about how horrid it was- filled with premeds, etc. So, she took all her GE and explored the lower div courses and now she is an IB premed.

[New Content on CO2 Science] CO2 Science: In discussing the implications of their findings, the researchers remarked that "under the climatic conditions forecasted on the basis of the present carbon dioxide emissions, Hymenaea courbaril should establish faster in its natural environment and might also serve as an efficient mechanism of carbon sequestration within the forest." In addition, they note that the CO2-induced increase in water use efficiency may enable jatoba "to tolerate dryer and more open environments, which should allow them to better cope with drought stress or a more seasonal climate." Last of all, they say that the jatoba tree would likely exhibit similar positive responses to even greater emissions of CO2, for they note that light-saturated photosynthesis in jatoba seedlings continued to rise in response to increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations well above 1,000 ppm. What is more, they say they "have measured the saturation level of some other tropical trees from the rain forest and all of them [also] saturate at relatively high CO2 concentrations." Hence, it is likely that neotropical forests in general may be better suited to much higher-than-present atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and that they would fare far better than they do today in a CO2-enriched world of the future.
