Madrona Marsh

The Madrona Marsh Preserve, in the city of Torrance in the South Bay region of Southern California, is a seasonal Delta wetland with vernal pools. The 43 acres (17 ha) was a former site of oil wells and is one of the few natural areas remaining within an urban landscape. Formed eons ago when the mountains of the Palos Verdes Peninsula rose to the south, Madrona Marsh is a shallow depression fed by wet season (spring) storms as the name "vernal" indicates. After the rainy season, evaporation, percolation and transpiration reduce the water depth by about one-quarter of an inch (6 mm) per day. By the end of August, the wetland is dry and remains so until the following rainy season. Situated on land that was set aside for oil production in 1924, Madrona Marsh was never developed while the city grew up around the site and remains a valuable natural habitat for birds, reptiles, insects and small mammals. Ongoing efforts are restoring native plants including wildflowers. Plantings may benefit local butterfly species including the Palos Verdes blue. The area has long been popular with bird watchers and The Audubon Society has used Madrona Marsh for their annual bird census since 1967. El Camino College uses it as an outdoor biology and botany lab. The Madrona Marsh Nature Center is operated by the City of Torrance in cooperation with the Friends of the Madrona Marsh. Activities include bird and nature walks, natural history classes and workshops, habitat restoration, science and astronomy programs, art exhibits, and children's nature programs. The center opened in 2001 and features exhibits about the plants, birds and animals of the marsh. The nature center for the Preserve is across the street.

Coto del Pantano Madrona

El Coto del Pantano Madrona (del inglés: Madrona Marsh Preserve o Madrona Marsh), se encuentra situado en Torrance, California, es el último pantano estacional que se encuentra en la bahía sur de Los Ángeles en el área de Los Ángeles y uno de los pocos humedales situado dentro de un paisaje urbano. Los accesos del público en general están controlados. Las visitas guiadas se pueden contratar a través de la asociación de "Amigos del Pantano Madrona" ("Friends of Madrona Marsh" ) o a través del Departamento de Ocio y Parques del ayuntamiento de Torrance (City of Torrance Parks and Recreation Department). Esta zona tomó forma cuando las montañas de la Sierra de Palo Verde se elevaron por el sur formando la Península, el pantano Madrona es una depresión que recoge las lluvias de la estación húmeda (primavera) sobre todo de las tormentas. Después de la estación lluviosa, la evaporación, percolación y transpiración reducen el nivel de las aguas alrededor de unos 6 mm por día. A finales de agosto, el humedal está seco, y permanece en estas condiciones hasta la próxima estación de lluvias. Localizado al lado de unos terrenos que en 1924 tenían producción de petróleo, el pantano Madrona nunca ha tenido un desarrollo urbanístico como otros terrenos alrededor de las ciudades, y ha permanecido como un invalorable hábitat natural, para pájaros, reptiles, insectos e incluso para pequeños mamíferos. La National Audubon Society ha utilizado el pantano Madrona desde el año 1967, para su censo anual de aves y El Camino College como un laboratorio para sus clases de biología y botánica.

Mammoth Pool

Mammoth Pool (v překl. Mamutí tůň) je přehrada na řece San Joaquin v jižní části pohoří Sierra Nevada v Kalifornii ve Spojených státech. Nachází se asi 72 km severovýchodně od města Fresno. Vytváří stejnojmennou vodní nádrž, která leží uvnitř parku Sierra National Forest. Přehrada i nádrž nesou svoje jméno podle přírodní tůně, která se dříve nacházela na místě dnešní nádrže. Historie V roce 1900 založil inženýr John S. Eastwood a další bohatí investoři společnost Mammoth Power Company, která si kladla za cíl využít horní tok řeky San Joaquin k výrobě elektřiny. Jako vhodné místo pro výstavbu přehrady se zdálo právě Mammoth Pool, kde řeka protéká úzkou mezerou mezi dvěma masivními žulovými bloky. Prvním návrhem společnosti bylo vytvořit průtočnou přehradu, kde by byla voda hnána tunelem dlouhým 32 km a poháněla by elektrárnu o výkonu 120 000 koňských sil. Nicméně kvůli obrovskému rozsahu projektu o něj investoři přestali mít zájem. V roce 1901 bylo od návrhu upuštěno. V polovině 50. let se zájem o výstavbu vodních elektráren na San Joaquin obnovil a byly dokončeny plány na výstavbu Mammoth Pool a dalších přidružených elektráren. Stavba hlavní hráze započala v říjnu 1958 poté, co byla řeka San Joquin odkloněna pomocí 660 m dlouhého tunelu. Práce postupovaly velmi rychle, ačkoli inženýři měli problémy s exfoliací žulových desek, která byla pravděpodobně způsobena vrtáním a odstřely ve strmých stěnách rokle. Přehrada byla dokončena již následujícího roku 1959. Účel Přehrada slouží primárně jako vodní elektrárna. Je důležitou součástí projektů Southern California Edison's a Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, které zahrnují soustavu 25 přehrad, 9 elektráren a podpůrné tunely a kanály v povodí horního San Joaquinu. Voda z nádrže je vedena 11,9 km dlouhým betonovým potrubím do elektrárny Mammoth pool, která má výkon 190 MW. V souvislosti se snižujícím se průtokem řeky a kolísáním hladiny vody je v současnosti nejvyšší dosažitelný výkon 187 MW. 110 m vysoká vzdouvací komora určená k ochraně turbín v případě náhlých přívalů vody se nachází těsně nad elektrárnou. Ekologický dopad Přehrada způsobila zatopení migrační cesty hojně využívané jelenci ušatými, kteří jsou teď nuceni v období jarní a podzimní migrace nádrž přeplavat. Aby se předcházelo vyrušování jelenů při migraci, je okolí nádrže v období mezi 15. květnem a 15. červnem uzavřeno veřejnosti. Během pozdního léta a podzimu je prakticky veškerá voda z řeky San Joaquin odkloněna do potrubí Mammoth pool, v důsledku čehož v podstatě vysychá téměř 14 km řečiště. To vedlo k prudkému poklesu rybích populací v úseku mezi přehradou Mammoth pool a přehradou č. 6, kde se nachází výpusť z elektrárny Mammoth pool.

Mammoth Pool Reservoir

Mammoth Pool Reservoir is a reservoir on the San Joaquin River in the Sierra Nevada, within the Sierra National Forest in California. It creates the border between Fresno County and Madera County. It is about 45 miles (72 km) north-northeast of Fresno. Hydroelectric power The 123,000 acre⋅ft (152,000,000 m3) reservoir is formed by Mammoth Pool Dam, an earth-fill dam completed in 1960. It was built by Southern California Edison for hydroelectricity production. The dam's power plant can produce up to 190 megawatts. The dam, reservoir and power plant are part of the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, perhaps the most extensive hydroelectric system in the world. Recreation The reservoir is also a recreation area. Activities at the lake include, swimming, fishing, camping and boating. The reservoir is closed to the public during the month of May and the first half of June to allow migrating deer to swim across the reservoir so as to spend the summer in the Sierra Nevada highlands. The reservoir is inaccessible following the first snowstorm, usually occurring in November, as the access road is not snowplowed. 2020 forest fire Road access to a campground beside the reservoir was blocked by the Creek Fire on 5 September 2020, at which point officials recommended that campers wade into the reservoir for their own protection. Many were later evacuated by helicopter.

Maples Pavilion

Maples Pavilion is a 7,233-seat multi-purpose arena on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California. Opened in 1969, Maples underwent a $30 million renovation in March 2004 and reopened ahead of schedule, in time for conference play that December. It was named after its principal donor, Roscoe Maples. History Roscoe Maples was an Oregon lumber magnate. Upon his death in 1963, Maples bequeathed most of his $2 million estate to the university. A member of the class of 1904, he left school before graduating to support his parents, and later went on to success in the lumber business. Prior to 1969, Stanford played at the Old Pavilion, opened in 1922. Maples is home to multiple Stanford Cardinal athletics teams, including men's and women's basketball, men's and women's gymnastics, and women's volleyball. The raucous student section that roots for the men's basketball team is called the "6th Man" and is located in several rows courtside. Prior to the renovation, the original floor at Maples had a flexible surface. Designed by Stanford graduate John Carl Warnecke (1919–2010), it was installed when the Pavilion opened in 1969. Nine inches (23 cm) of crosshatched wood and air was supposed to create a coil-spring effect preventing injuries, but often had the opposite effect. It caused a "Missed Stair Effect", a phenomenon that occurs when the body senses where the floor should be upon landing after a jump. With the tensile feeling of the floor, often the level would be different from when the player jumped, causing a strange sensation throughout the body.
