Aerospace jobs launch rockets, send missions to the moon and search for alien life in space - and this is just in the next few years! Besides space, our region's aerospace industry focuses on earth science activities that support climate monitoring and extreme weather forecasting, helping our planet and people.
The spring semester for students in K-12 and colleges and universities in Colorado started as any normal semester. Because of COVID-19, however, schools started to close and offer remote instruction around spring break. As institutions of higher learning adapted to the 'new normal', they offered asynchronous, synchronous, and blended or hybrid options for students. This sudden switch had an impact on all. Our interest was to see if this sudden switch of modality placed a disproportionate burden on non-traditional students.
The City requested assistance from the Colorado Cooperative Program for Environmental Health Assessments (CCPEHA) to identify any potential public health implications to workers resulting from current and future exposures to the plume of gasoline that extends under the Fleet Maintenance Facility and recommend actions to reduce the exposure, if necessary.
The purpose of this task report is to present the methodology for determining practicably irrigable acreage (PIA) for the Animas & Florida Watersheds. The test for PIA requires that the revenues exceed the cost. The land under consideration when cropped and irrigated must return sufficient net positive income to pay for the costs of providing irrigation water to the farm headgate In order to determine PIA it is necessary to conceptually design an irrigation transmission system to deliver water to the farm headgate for each arable parcel. The annualized cost of the off farm irrigation water transmission system is compared to the net positive income payment capacity of the parcel.
