Congratulations 2017 Cranberry Research Symposium Winners!

The results of the 2017 Cranberry Lake EFB 202 Research Symposium are live on our Digital Commons!

Ecological Monitoring and Biodiversity Assessment (EFB202) is the one of the keystone courses in the Environmental and Forest Biology curriculum. Students enrolled in this immersive course live at the Cranberry Lake Biological Station for three weeks. During the first two weeks of the course, students study a wide variety of taxonomic groups of organisms, and are introduced to a broad range of field, laboratory and analytical methods. Students then complete a group research project during the third and final week of the course. The research projects require proficiency in field sampling methods, basic experimental design and statistical analysis, and the ability to cooperatively solve problems. The course culminates in a research symposium during which groups present their findings to their peers and a panel of judges.

Theses and Dissertations are now available on Digital Commons.

Congratulations to the Master's and PhD's students who graduated in the fall of 2017. They are the first students to have their theses and dissertations made available on ESF's Digital Commons repository. Many students have elected to share their work with full open access, so that anyone in the world may download and learn from the discoveries they made. Check out the theses and dissertations on our Digital Commons!
