1) Research on the Influence of Globalization and Global Warming on Life in
Pohnpei
- Object
@@@@Globalization and global warming are affecting peoplefs lives on this planet
in many significant ways. Because of their small size and delicate ecology,
islands are especially affected by large processes. For example, global
warming leads temperature increase which cause the sea to rise. Low lying
land is particularly vulnerable to a rise in sea level. There are many
low lying islands and atolls in the Pacific. To improve the situation,
we should first learn the specific details of the threat facing a particular
island or atoll, and peoplefs understanding of their predicament.
@@@@This research is aimed to study how globalization and global warming affect
life on Pohnpei. To study these two processes, we will do several researches.
