Conservation and Bio-Diversity
Dr. Richard Field research interests lie in conservation, biodiversity and the forces that structure ecological communities.
Tropical Ecology and Conservation
This seminar plus field work in Costa Rica is designed to give students with an in-depth understanding of tropical ecology and conservation biology. More specifically it provides students the opportunity to (1) read the original literature, (2) give oral presentations, (3) design and write a research proposal, and (4) gain hands-on research experience in Costa Rica. Here are what the students say are the highlights of the course: 1. Learning how to write a proposal and executing that project. 2.

5.1 - Memory Conservation
This module explains the different kinds of memory, some common memory organizations, and the basics of conserving memory.
3D Digital View of Los Amigos Conservation Area
This scene provides a view of the terrace where the station sits (red diamond). DEM-generation from Aster images is not perfect, and due to error caused by reflectance patterns, some portions of the river appear to be waterfalls. There are no waterfalls along this portion of the Madre de Dios. Note the high banks between Madre de Dios and the Los Amigos River. The Aguaje palm swamp sits between the high terrace and the floodplain. Just below the Aguaje palm swamp in this scene you can see light
3D Digital View of Los Amigos Conservation Area
This scene provides a reverse view of the Los Amigos watershed.

The availability of the Digital Elevation Model now allows for a carefully directed research design for sampling biotic and abiotic diversity. With an emphasis on plant diversity, the Los Amigos Botany team, consisting of an international group of Ph.D. scientists, graduate students, undergraduate students, and local field collaborators, will run landscape-scale transects that traverse a diversity of habitats.
3D Digital View of Los Amigos Conservation Area
At higher magnifications, the DEM-Landsat combination instill a sense of realism. Here you are viewing down the valley of the Los Amigos River (2) and across the dissected landscape on either side.
3D Digital View of Los Amigos Conservation Area
Another view of the Los Amigos landscape, from the Madre de Dios River to the Los Amigos and Amiguillos rivers. Another zone dominated by Aguaje palms can be seen in this scene. Notice the light cloud cover that hangs over the Madre de Dios basin.
3D Digital View of Los Amigos Conservation Area
An overlay of the Landsat TM 2000 image on the DEM creates a most striking birds-eye view of the Los Amigos landscape. Here you view down the valley of the Los Amigos River and the smaller watershed of the Amiguillos. The biological station sits on a high terrace near the mouth of the Los Amigos River, overlooking the Madre de Dios basin.

A three-dimensional view across the landscape, showing the Amiguillos River and one of its tributaries.
Conservation of Angular Momentum
Angular momentum is constant when there is no net torque. This video, which is suitable for high school students, starts with a black screen because the instructor, in his conversational tone, uses it as a 'chalkboard.' Instructor uses different colors for clarification. Run time 10:12.
Chemical Changes and Conservation of Matter
Where does the weight go when we “lose weight”? What happens when iron rusts? Why are exploding stars able to turn other elements into gold when the alchemists w
Physical Changes and Conservation of Matter
The video opens with children in the Science Studio observing a common magic trick in which matter seems to disappear. As they try to follow the button that vanishes from their field of vision, the Author(s):
Conservation: From the Farm to the Front Office
Conservation: From the Farm to the Front Office - Sustainability with a Sense of Place
James Geringer was Governor of Wyoming from 1994 to January 2003. He modernized economic planning to extensively include technology and changed how natural resource agencies work together on the state, federal and local level. He joined Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) in the summer of 2003 as Director of Policy and Public Sector Strategies, focused on how senior elected and corporate officials
Energy Conservation
Students are introduced to the idea that energy use impacts the environment and our wallets. They discuss different types of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, as well as the impacts of energy consumption. Through a series of activities, students understand how they use energy and how it is transformed from one type to another. They learn innovative ways engineers conserve energy and how energy can be conserved in their homes.
Conservation Ecology: Lessons from the physics education reform effort
Starting in 1992, introductory physics students at Indiana University were pre- and post-tested on their knowledge of general physics. Some students received standard classes of lectures and tests, while others were taught using interactive engagement (IE) techniques. The goal of the study was this: can IE methods increase the effectiveness of introductory mechanics courses? Though the study focused on physics and mechanics specifically, the techniques used can be applied in teaching other scien
Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection
This course will covers a basic understanding and appreciation of energy efficiency and environmental concepts, basic operating principles of day-to-day energy conversion devices, various options to increase energy efficiency, ways to save energy and money, and ways to save the environment.
Conservation Laws
Some of the topics addressed in this book are: Conservation of energy; the transfer of mechanical energy; conservation of momentum; conservation of angular momentum; thermodynamics.
Idaho Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy
The purpose of this web page is to make the Idaho Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS) available to all interested parties. The site provides links to multiple pdfs containing information about Idaho wildlife and conservational strategies.
