Finally arrived here in Detroit but not without some trouble in Elmira. I've had the worst time with security lately. I got pulled out of line in Kansas City two weeks ago as I had forgotten I had a mini multi-tool in a remote area of my pack. Elmira missed it. Denver missed it but not Kansas City
Using photos from a variety of websites, including the PolarTREC and SCINI websites, students will identify organisms to phylum and/or class level (e.g. polychaetes, starfish, brittle stars, sponges) and then research the primary foods that these organisms eat. They will then develop a simple food web for these organisms.
We go places, but what do we do with the billions of snippets of information we absorb? How do we process the information so that it means something to us when we can no longer be there? As a geographer, my objective was to be able to observe, participate and categorize the billions of pieces of visual information
My father kindled my interest in birds when I was a boy. He would take my brothers and me up to the local hawk watch site on Hook Mountain in the lower Hudson Valley of New York State. We'd see red-tailed hawks, kestrels and lots of turkey vultures passing overhead on their southward migration. As I
Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.
Objective
Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact
Students will conduct quantitative and qualitative observations on living organisms. By recording careful measurements, making and testing various hypotheses, on super mealworms, students will gain some understanding of how wildlife researchers conduct their studies.
Objective
Students learn to take measurements on living organisms and use those measurements to consider the health of the organisms.
She's from Everett, Washington. She is an Earth Sciences major, with an Environmental Studies minor, at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire. She will be celebrating her 22nd birthday while she's here in Ny Alesund. Here's the best part about Laura Kehrl . . . she rides back and forth across
This Live from IPY event held on 10 August 2009 was with PolarTREC teacher Mike Rhinard, Researchers Julie Brigham-Grette and Ross Powell, and 2009 REU Students.
High above the sea on the cliffs at Zapadni Dip or as we call it "Zap Dip", we get to observe the ebb and flow of life around the edge of the southern Bering Sea. Each day that we come out on our watches at the murre colony our job is to record data about the feeding by the parent birds to their
It seems many of you who have been following our "High Arctic Change" adventure have been wondering . . . "What kind of food do you eat in Svalbard?" When I found out where we were going to be headed on this expedition, I was wondering the same thing. Would we be eating processed food out of a can
