A tributary to the Turure River enters the main stream. The tributary (in the center of the photo) runs below the road cut. The main part of the stream (along the bottom of the photo) comes from an...
This laboratory exercise examines the changes in human demographic patterns by visiting a local cemetery, collecting data recorded on tombstones, and producing a graphical representation of...
A series of photographs showing the widening of a road that then caused an increase in the sediment load in the streams below the road. The photographs show the road and the surrounding tropical...
These Landsat images show Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve on December 4, 1994, a year with normal rainfall, and November 27, 2009, a year when the rains failed and a severe drought overtook the land. The...

This Data Set focuses on the question: How does plant biodiversity in a grassland savannah community affect ecosystem productivity? To investigate this question, students use create graphs using...
In this laboratory exercise, the following issues are examined: 1) why neither predators nor prey go extinct when there is a long period of nonrenewal of the prey population 2) the effects of...
This teaching activity explores what the short- and long-term effects of a whole-watershed deforestation experiment are on streamflow. Students can use an MS Excel file or hard copy of data to graph...
This teaching module includes two different approaches. The goal of both approaches is to introduce WNV biology and ecology. The Hometown Approach uses online data and maps to generate and test...
