How can technology improve relationships and provide for humanized learning experiences that transcend or take the place of a physical classroom? Ask one of the 3,521 CI students or 142 CI faculty who have used VoiceThread, an asynchronous conversation tool that is integrated into CI Learn. Some of the ways CI faculty are using VoiceThread […]
The resolution of WSR-88D isn’t ideal for viewing birds. I am thinking about using lidar in a closed space such as a small canyon or valley. I want to literally turn the lidar on its head and scan the area above it. I am curious if this would be able to give accurate bird counts. I am also curious to see if there is a way to actually take the timing of the scans and use them to create an image of the actual bird. Meanderings of the mind.

Last week, I was packed and ready to leave for Santa Rosa Island (SRI). In the rain, a group of us waited on the dock to leave. We were unable to depart from the dock, due to weather conditions. As a part of the trip, each of us would take turns cooking dinner each night. I cooked stew for 21 people… Since, we were unable to leave, I had stew for days. This time tomorrow, I am leaving to SRI to collect data on my capstone. Hopefully, the odds will ever be in my favor to leave tomorrow.
Due to the first trip to Santa Rosa being canceled due to the storm that hit California the trip leaving on the 12th has been doubled booked. The research station will be full up but I look forward to the assistance from my research partner Zack and Dulce. 
Holidays are over and now research continues.
Enjoy your winter break! I’ll be updating the website soon for my Spring 2016 returning English 103 students and my new English 105 students.
This past week I have been busy preparing seed to be broadcasted out on Santa Cruz Island. We will broadcast the seed mixture in the C Grove and Former Red Gum Grove in the coming week. This seed mixture includes all native species including Baccharis douglasii, Rosa californica, and Bromus carinatus among many others.
Next Tuesday capstone students embark on the week long trip to the research station. This will be a good chance to get many of the groves out liars pin pointed with GPS. Doing research on papers and articles looking into why oaks do what they do we may have a better understanding of what we are dealing with in these groves! The winter break off from school has allowed me to catch up on some much needed rest and reading for this topic.
College, no doubt, can get overwhelming. You are trying to meet the demands of your professors, your friends, your parents, your roommates, your bosses, and/or…
