Christa, Everything looks good. Everything is documented and spaced out very well. I did not see any spelling errors, either. The few things I did see where as follows: Sphere>Event: Each sphere has some type of reaction except for Lithosphere. There is no L>E stated at all. We need at least one, maybe two. (Not sure of source but maybe: L>E (The thickness of the tectonic plates that the ice is upon could cause the breaking away of icebergs to be more consistant, especially if the earth is not very thick at some place where the ice is very heavy.?)(Needs a source?)

I believe at the very beginning of the ESS we should maybe state:

This ESS report will deal with the issues of Ice Shelf Disintegration in relation to each of the four spheres of the Earth. While research is still ongoing and the length of time for disintegration to happen is at varying long lenghts there is enough evidence stated in the following ESS report to theorize that Ice Shelf Disintegration can and will have very possible devastating effects on our Earth and it's living things.

( I just feel we need some sort of lead in.)

Thanks Christa and have a wonderful time on your retreat! Stacie
