  1. Overarching Content Themes • Fisheries • Geology • Water Quality • Biodiversity • Hudson River History These themes have great potential for interrelated content and disciplinary crossover

  2. e.g., Geology • What are the major geological units and geologic history of the Hudson River Basin? • How does geology influence water quality? • Industrial development? • Agriculture? • How has geology influenced human settlement and development in the river valley? • How has human development altered geological controls on the Basin? • How has geology influenced the arts in the Hudson Valley?

  3. Skills and Techniques • Scaling • Sampling • Writing • Observing • Representing or depicting • Interpreting • Evaluating Used by many teachers and researchers in a wide range of fields

  4. e.g., Scaling and Observing • Scaling • How do we choose the scale of a problem or assignment? • What are the factors that drive our decision? • How does identifying the scale influence the information gathered, and thus its interpretation? • Observing • How is observation influenced by previous experience and knowledge? • What are the various forms of observation used in research? • Do observation methods differ for researchers in social sciences, humanities and the natural sciences?

  5. Mt. Adams Tree Survey • Worked in the field during our camping trip • Tree identification • Map, compass, GPS work • Data collection – Working in pairs conducted stem counts at various altitudes • Use ArcGIS to visualize and interpret data
