a2 edexcel unit 4 research: cold environments option 2nd feb

aghh this doesn't look good for me if your schools didn't do very well... I'm doing it this summer, they've picked enquiry question 4, trust Edexcel to pick the human aspect from a Physical Geography topic! I'm struggling as they seem to want us to distinguish between a management approach and a management technique...any ideas?

Hey do you have any case studies for the 'Do nothing' approach?

We've been using the Trans-Alaskan pipeline as an example of a tech fix, and just making it clear that they aren't really doing any conservation, they're just limiting the effects of a total exploitation approach as well. There's also the Yamal peninsula in Russia where they are talking about doing the same sort of project, but there's nothing going on there at the moment

I think were meant to involve both
For the variety of management i have 2 example periglacial regions: Tuktoyaktuk peninsula, Canada which is a boarderline do nothing approach and Glacier Bay, Alaska (plus links to trans-alaskan pipeline) as a comprehensive conservation

For polar im using 3 casestudies: tourism in Antarctica as a comprehensive conservation approach, HEP in Iceland as a sustainable exploitation, Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland as a do nothing approach because they arent do anything to reduce/prevent the onset of global warming which is the main threat.

For alpine/mountainous environments i have 3: Siachen Peace Park in the Himalayas as comprehensive conservation, Hohe Tauern, Austria as sustainable exploitation and Anapurna range, Nepal as sustainable exploitation.
