How did Thoedore Roosevlet affect the Science Workld?

Answer 1

An amateur ornithologist, TR would often kill small birds for purely scientific purposes; thereafter dissecting and embalming them. A few original specimens survive today and can be seen at the Theodore Roosevelt National Historic Birthplace. TR's education was via private tutors, which was quite common for an individual of his socioeconomic position. A voracious reader with a photographic memory, TR had no trouble completing his studies and was ultimately admitted to the Harvard College in 1876, at age eighteen.

At Harvard, TR majored in science, yet received the bulk of his education in history and literature. He was admitted to the prestigious Porcellian Club, the O.K. Club, The Big Six Club, and was a staff member of The Harvard Advocate.

In 1903, Congress supported the Panamian insurgency against their Colombian masters, culminating in the recognition of the Republic of Panama and subsequent construction of the Panama Canal by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers led by General Goethals. This was one of the major engineering triumphs of the early 20th century.

TR's final conservation effort was the North American Conservation Congress. TR saw his presidential term expire and embarked on a Smithsonian sponsored African Safari.

Accompanied on the safari by his son Kermit, TR collected hundreds of specimens for the Smithsonian, and in 1910 published a book on his experiences titled African Game Trails.

In 1913, TR embarked on an expedition to Brazil to map the course and find the source of a river deep in the Amazon jungles heretofore uncharted. The expedition was first proposed by Father John Augustine Zahm, a clergyman from the Univeristy of Notre Dame and longtime friend of TR. The expedition, dubbed the Roosevelt-Rondon South American Expedition of 1913-1914, was sponsored by the National Museum of History of New York, the National Geographic Society, and the governments of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The expedition members included: Kermit Roosevelt, Col. Candido Mariano da Silva Rondon (expedition leader sent by the Brazilian government), Leo Miller (mammologist), Anthony Fiala (logistics), Frank Harper (TR's private secretary), George K. Cherrie (naturalist/ornithologist), Lt. Joao Salustiano Lyra (Brazilian astronomer), and approximately two dozen Brazilian camaradas, or portege carriers. To secure additional funding for the expedition, as well as to be compensated for his time, TR contracted with Scribner's magazine to write a series of articles about the expedition, eventually publishing his account in the book titled Through the Brazilian Wilderness. Facing dangers ranging from cataracts and rapids to aggressive amazonians and the unfortunate murder of an expedition member by another expedition member, the party eventually completed their goal and mapped what came to be known as the Rio Teodoro.

Answer 2

i assumed the technology replaced into settled. of direction there's a good type of learn happening now, pretty as oceans temps (opposite to what Trevor says) are not any more starting to be, Arctic ice is average for the perfect ten years, that temperatures have stalled, that Antarctic ice is increasing, and Antarctic temps are not any more starting to be (somewhat cooling). each and every of the elements scientists are frantically studying like loopy attempting to go back up with theories (like lacking warmth in the oceans) to describe it and keep AGW alive.
