Biology 307, Fall `96
Sept. 10, 1996
Term Project Proposal
I will make a set of Webpages describing the first field trip.
The field trip was on October 6th and focused on fire
and forests of the Cascades. I will create a Webpage for each
of the areas we stopped at. Each page will contain pictures I
took on the trip, some basic information on the area, and a detailed
description of the trees and other organisms we talked about in
the area and how they relate to the pattern of species distribution
in the Cascades. My explanation of the distribution of species
will focus on how climate and disturbance history interact to
produce the patterns we now see.
While I think the most useful part of the field trip was the
explanation of how climate and disturbance history affect patterns
of distribution of tree species, I will also spend considerable
time describing identification of individual species. To create
effective and useful Webpages for other Biology 307 students,
and the general public, I will use a variety of techniques: I
will use the 20 pictures I took on the trip in addition to other
graphics to illustrate both the morphology of individual species
and general concepts; transcribe my journal from the trip; create
links to other relevant resources on the Internet; and present
the information in a manor both intuitive and aesthetically pleasing.
I will put the Website
on the Biology or Environmental Studies Website and promote it
on the Internet so that it can continue to be a resource after
this term.
