| A significant component of my time at PSU has included applying space technology in the form of the Global Position System (GPS) to insect population dynamics and related issues which can benefit from the speed and/or accuracy of spatial (coordinate) referencing. Because of my experience using GPS I am often given opportunity to participate in a variety of research, conservation and educational efforts. The following list displays several of these projects and provides links giving some detail about each. |
| Colorado potato
beetle sampling
(This highlights my disseration work in potatoes) |
1996
1997 1999 2000 |
| Education, university | PSU Insect Taxonomy
course
PSU Population Dynamics course |
| Graduate research | mapping a research plot |
| Education, elementary and high school | Bug Camp for Kids
Food and Agricultural Sciences Institute |
| Conservation / biodiversity | BioBlitz, 4-5 June 1999 |
| Biological control of weeds | Purple loosestrife at Millbrook marsh |
| Long-term ecological research | Oaks and insects |
| Because of this emphasis on applying GPS (space technology) to insect
issues part of my funding at PSU has come through a fellowship
awarded by the Pennsylvania
Space Grant Consortium (NASA).
