CAM-17
Concentration in Sediments of the LA Harbor
Was awarded the Toyota Tapestry large grant. Will be using the MATE GIS
fisheries suitability study from the GIS institute.
Developed a marine science research class that incorporates both GIS and
ROV technologies.
Her students have been working on a geostatistical analysis of CAM-17
contamination in marine sediments of the LA Harbor. They took
sediment samples throughout the harbor and will be comparing results
from this year's study to those taken in 2002.

here to see the GIS poster they made.
Written curriculum for a GIS Baja field studies class through
Glendale Community College.
One of her student's was a finalist in a poster competition for Trimble.
Clark Magnet HS will be hosting a geospatial workshop for EAST.

Hydrology
Measurements in Elkhorn Slough
Completed
a GIS project with CIPE called Ocean Explorers. Her team produced GIS
lessons comparing the Galapagos Islands to the
Channel Islands for 9th grade earth science
students. Peggy is using earth science GIS lessons in her earth
science and AP Environmental Science classes. She has since been
trained as a 2007 PolarTREC teacher and will be going to southern
Alaska in July-August to study glaciated lake
sediments with a team from the University of Northern
Arizona. She plans to
include GIS in her journaling with the students while I am in the field.

Physical and Biological Observations at Del Monte
Beach using Aerial Imaging
View the
web site Dave created to share GIS excitement with local teachers and
students!
Teaching GIS to students and doing local student projects, including:
- Mapping invasive Japanese shorecrabs in our local river system in
collaboration with a McGill University graduate student who is studying
the problem in the Northeast (a connection MATE helped him make!)
- Surveying the spread of non-native dune grasses along the barrier
beach
- Conducting the first mapping of horseshoe crab nesting sites
- Siting potential plots for the placement of a new monument at the
local national park or adjacent lands
- Identifying wintering waterbird habitat in Lower NY Harbor.
Using GIS to present data on horseshoe crab spawning sites and
non-native plants at Sandy Hook Park (where their facility is located).

Teaching
the physics of flight with kites. Also teaches a class of 144 8th
graders. Harbour Freight Tools of Vallejo donated 75 kites. Starting
another project where old ROV skills will come in handy. Her and some
old students in high school are going to make a float-able. It will
attach to one of the Bird Rescue Wildlife Rehab Pools, with the
underwater camera on it, to capture loons and other divers.

Students
created posters to present their findings of a polar region
investigation (for the 2007-2008 International Polar Year). They include
investigations of the Earth, lunar and Martian poles. The basis for the
project were the ideas and skills I acquired as a result of
participation in the 2003 and 2005 MATE GIS workshops.

Advising one of OSU's doctoral students in utilizing GIS in the teaching
of mathematical concepts.
Did an inservice session for OSU's student teachers in which he took
them through some lessons using the Java education edition of
ArcExplorer.
Will be doing an inservice for the doctoral candidates using his MATE
project as an example of building and analyzing a project and they will
also be exloring other classroom applications for GIS. |
