Bring researchers into your classroom and give students a window into the process of scientific inquiry. Join us for an informal chat with researchers whose field work directly impacts community members in California, Maine, and Ohio. Find out who they are, how they got interested in their research, and the scientific questions they are asking.
Hear from researchers about their work on science-industry partnerships to evaluate scallop populations, how tree roots inform design of building foundations & coastal infrastructure, and providing real-time data on fire, flood, and drought hazards.
“Live from the Field” events are part of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) The Virtual Field (thevirtualfield.org), an international collaboration prompted by the pandemic to give students virtual field experiences in ecosystems all over the world. Events are informal and recorded for asynchronous instructional use. All are welcome. For more information: Dr. Claudia Luke, Sonoma State University, lukec@sonoma.edu
