Soil Sieving
This week consisted of dirt, and lots of it! As I obtained soil samples from the bed of Long Grade Creek, I proceeded to take pictures of, dry, and sieve the sediment samples (12 total). Below is an example of the sieves (bottom left). Each sieve has a particular mesh size that separates the sediment based on grain size. I then proceeded to weigh the separated soil. On the right is an example of a sieve that has held onto sediment that is a certain grain size. As you can see, the sediment’s size is uniform throughout the sample. This data will be compared to the results of my capstone partner, Lauren. The sediment she has sampled is from the slopes adjacent to Long Grade Creek.

Where to begin?
I am curious. How did your organization begin to develop a new professional development program? How did you ensure that the courses offered covered what was needed most? What are the best methods for earning program credibility from the start?

The data…the data…
Posted from Camarillo, California, United States.
Entering Data into our master data file in the old GIS lab at CSU Channel Islands.
Key to our efforts to restore the bottomland hardwood forests in coastal Louisiana is rigorous science. And that mean rigorous data. And that means rigorous quality control.
Typing in band transect data in the old GIS lab in Bell Tower at CSU Channel Islands.
The challenge with bringing large groups of folks into the forest and divvying them up into distinct data collection teams has always been (and always will be) the integration of the data products at the end of the effort.
While our trip is over, our data QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control) and data formatting journey has not yet ended. This year we have run into several struggles with Google Sheets. Apparently as we thought we were nearing the finish line, we discovered that our large data files were getting trimmed/truncated do to a quirk in the spreadsheet layout. This seems to have resulted in us effectively losing several band transects-worth of data. As everyone was burned out (and also a few mysteriously suffering due to the pizza I bought for dinner), we called it a night.
We will reconvene next week to then hopefully finish up our data. Somehow I suspect that it might take longer than I hope…

CI Computer Girls hosting a Coding Boot-camp on 4/18 and 4/25
The Coding Bootcamp is a series of day-long Saturday workshops hosted by the CI Computer Girls club at Ojai Hall 1952 on 4/18 and 4/25 from 9am to 5pm where students can learn some computer programming without having had any prior experience. This event is led by current CI students and is open to all CI students. Students can sign up for 1 or 2 workshops, each designed to introduce them to fun programming concepts. We will also have speakers present who will talk about their experiences working in tech. Students will learn how to create their own webpage and make it interactive as well as use CI Keys in order to build their own space online in a dynamic and friendly environment! Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Students must register online to attend the event at http://tinyurl.com/CodingBootcamp . Space is limited and selection will be based on a first come first served basis. Contact csuci.computer.girls@gmail.com for more information (participants and volunteers are welcome).
