http://www.editor.uci.edu/01-02/se/se.5.html

Extractions: Scott A. Bollens, Department Chair Established in 1992, the Department of Urban and Regional Planning utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to urban community problem solving. The Department faculty devote their scholarly and teaching efforts to theory-driven and empirically oriented urban research and their interests include urban development, environmental policy, health policy and planning, and environmental design. Collaborative academic and research ties are maintained with other units on campus including the School of Social Sciences, the Graduate School of Management, and the Institute of Transportation Studies. The Department's teaching, research, and graduate training utilize UCI's proximity to both urban centers and planned suburban communities, as well as the University's location within the dynamic Southern California and Pacific Rim regions. Currently, the Department offers a program of study leading to the Ph.D. degree in Urban and Regional Planning; the Master of Urban and Regional Planning degree (M.U.R.P), which is fully accredited by the National Planning Accreditation Board; and an undergraduate minor in Urban and Regional Planning. Departmental faculty also teach courses within the School's undergraduate programs in Social Ecology; Criminology, Law and Society; Environmental Analysis and Design; and Psychology and Social Behavior. The common mission linking the Department's undergraduate, master's, and doctorate-level instruction and faculty research efforts is to bring applied research to the cause of bettering neighborhoods, communities, and regions. Southern California has grown dramatically over the past three decades and will soon become the nation's largest urban corridor. The challenges to maintain the quality of life, provide employment opportunities, and reduce the deep socioeconomic disparities of this binational, metropolitan, and multiethnic region are enormous. No other region in the United States has been faced with the kinds of problems and future possibilities that now confront Southern California and its increasingly diverse communities.

Extractions: July 11, 2001 The Department of States Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is pleased to announce an agreement with the Organization of American States that would nearly double the number of participants in the Fulbright ecology programs for countries of the Western Hemisphere. The cost-sharing agreement will increase the number of grantees from an average of 12 per year to 20 per year, and will expand the pool of potential candidates to all Organization of American States (OAS) member countries with Fulbright Program representation. The OAS, a regional organization of 34 democratic states of the Western Hemisphere, will participate through its Inter-American Agency for Cooperation and Development (IACD). The Fulbright-OAS Ecology Initiative will be administered by LASPAU: Academic and Professional Programs for the Americas, a signatory to the agreement. The existing programs, the Amazon Basin Program and the Caribbean-Central American Ecology Program, offer Fulbright graduate study and enhancement workshops designed to expand the pool of professionals in the region in fields related to environmental preservation and sustainable development; to introduce them to one another and to U.S. counterparts; and to return them to work on vital regional issues that transcend national boarders. These programs, involving 117 ecologists to date, have been in place for ten years and serve 17 countries in two large regions within the hemisphere.

http://www2.ucsc.edu/mbrs/

Extractions: Using an interdisciplinary approach, faculty and graduate students in the natural and social sciences are working together to understand the dynamic processes and tensions of the Monterey Bay region - an understanding that can be extended to worldwide environmental and social change and development. Coastal environments are zones of interaction involving terrestrial and marine habitats, land-sea-air processes, and human activities. The MBRS program gives researchers the opportunity for interdisciplinary perspective, by involving other regional research and educational institutions, social and political organizations, and industry. The program's emphasis, "Bi-directional Interactions in Coastal Environments," combined with the regional approach, promotes focused collaborative work across varied research traditions. MBRS sponsors regular informal seminars to discuss regional environmental issues. Recent topics have included strategies for university-industry interactions and wetland conservation, and the role of refugia in protecting important fisheries. In an ongoing effort to build partnerships with other institutions, MBRS presents public symposia, "Challenges for the Monterey Bay Region." A symposium on fisheries and climate change brought scholars from throughout the United States to discuss studies of fisheries biology and the legal history of fisheries organizations. A planned symposium will address the use of fire in management of the maritime chaparral at Fort Ord, relating issues in conservation biology to questions of land management and military base conversion.

Extractions: Southeast Alaska offers a unique opportunity for students to explore the largest and least fragmented temperate coastal rainforest in the world. This six credit course in Environmental Studies and Forestry combines studies of the diverse ecology of Southeast Alaska and the contentious issues surrounding its management. We will examine the ecology of lush temperate rainforests and the salmon-filled streams that flow through them, as well as the coastal marine, alpine and glacial environments. We will learn about the history and current state of laws framing management of the region, with emphasis on a series of current resource issues, including wildlife management, timber harvesting and road building, wilderness designation, mining and fisheries. All of this will take place during an extended sea kayaking expedition through the Tongass National Forest. From Bellingham, Washington, we will take the Alaska ferry up the Inside Passage to Wrangell, Alaska, an amazing trip unto itself. There we will deboard, learn the fundamentals of sea kayaking and backcountry camping and safety. We then proceed for the next month more than 200 circuitous miles by sea kayak past rugged mountains, glaciers and coastal rainforests. Humpback and killer whales, sea otters, and brown bears are commonly seen along the way.

http://www.the-scientist.com/yr2000/aug/prof_000821.html

Extractions: PROFESSION By Karen Young Kreeger For some, a "career in ecology" can evoke the image of fieldwork in the great outdoors. But the field is becoming more diversified and moving beyond its traditional academic boundaries, say many ecologists. Consulting firms, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and advocacy groups are creating new demand. In fact, graduate students are clamoring for more information on careers inside and outside of academia, so much so that the Ecological Society of America (ESA) held its first workshop devoted to careers at its annual meeting last month. Kay Gross (at left) packs seeds in a greenhouse with Heather Reynolds , a professor of botany and plant pathology at the Kellogg Biological Station of Michigan State University and past president of ESA, says that most ESA members are academics, with the rest working in federal government, in the private sector at nongovernmental organizations such as the Nature Conservancy, and in private consulting. There's also a large student group, but not all stay in academia. For example, she says many who get master's degrees in ecology work at the local, state, or regional level at state departments of fish and wildlife or parks and recreation; other state and federal agencies; and consulting firms. , a Congressional Science Fellow in the office of Sen.
