Visualizing Ecology

All students that were in Visualizing Ecology during fall quarter should have collected species name and diameter data on every tree in their personal site visit plot (20m X 20m). In the statistics lab on Friday, week 7 we will use the tree data, but first we need it from you! Attached is an Excel spreadsheeta that you will need to download, enter your data, save, and email to Kevin. Simple instructions are writen at the top of the Excel file.

PDF articles on industry viewpoints of fertilizers from Tuesday lecture are attached below.

 Mark your calendars! Visualizing Ecology is hosting TWO events on Monday, Feb. 12. Both events are in Lecture Hall 2. Attendance is optional, but highly encouraged. Feel free to invite folks outside Visualizing Ecology to come to these events.  

At 7:30 pm, the film folks will be showing "Rivers and Tides." The film is about Andy Goldsworthy, an artist whose specialty is ephemeral sculptures made from elements of nature.

A message from Carlin Briner, Coordinator of the Evergreen Community Garden at the organic farm 

 Hello Gardeners!

It may still seem like the middle of winter, but I am beginning to take plot requests for the 2007 season. Priority will be given to those who request plots by March 1st. So please email me if you would like a plot, and I will send you the appropriate forms.

Email Carlin at carlinbee@riseup.net

Thanks,

Carlin Briner

Community Gardens Coordinator

The University of California at Berkeley has prepared this useful tutorial.  Please read it if you plan to use internet sources in your research.

Starting in March, your evergreen email account will be the only account the college uses to contact you via email. If you are not using this account as of yet, please be sure you do so. You can have email forwarded to your personal, non-Evergreen account, but once this starts, all Evergreen-based email will go to your Evergreen account.

In March 2007, Evergreen will implement a new policy regarding student email:

All students, including both admitted and “special” (non-admitted) students, are given an Evergreen email account upon admission (or upon registration for “special” students.) This email account is a primary mechanism for official college communications to students, including registration and student account information, announcements of official college policies and general announcements and information. As part of their responsibility to work with the college to manage their business and enrollment issues, students are expected to check their college email account on a regular basis.

Two handouts that detail how to write a formal lab report have been added to the lab section. To download these MS Word files, look under the lab section on the right navigation bar, then view the page on lab handouts. The two files are attached to the bottom of the page.
