Exploring California
Biodiversity
A program for graduate students working with the Berkeley Natural History Museums
and Berkeley Natural History Field Stations to work together with high school and middle school students and teachers
California is ecologically one of the most diverse
regions on the globe and is home to a disproportionately large number of species. This project will facilitate research by
graduate students associated with any of the Berkeley Natural History Museums
or Field Stations, and facilitate interaction with the local K-12 community. Graduate students will work with high school
and middle school students and their teachers to make collections and take
observations in the field, and develop their own museums and associated
databases at the schools. Through
shared information across museum databases, the schools will have access to a broad
range of interpretive tools. Working
with faculty and graduate students at the BNHM/ BNHFS, these tools will be used
to understand patterns of biodiversity in the Bay Area.
