SUMMARY:CANCELED: Cliff & Rock Outcrop Course Ends (3rd-7th)
DESCRIPTION:Cliff & Rock Outcrop Communities of the Southern Appalachians: August 3 – August 7 \nLaura Boggess\, Mars Hill University & Gary Kauffman\, USFS\, National Forest in NC (undergrad credit only) \nRock outcrop and cliff communities represent a small fraction of land area in the Southern Appalachians but contain a disproportionately large number of rare species and unique community types. This workshop will give you first-hand experience of several of these unique and beautiful habitats\, including high elevation granitic domes\, high elevation rocky summits\, montane cliffs\, and montane red cedar woodlands. We will spend part of each day in the field (with at least one full-day trip) as well as time in the lab\, identifying species and discussing cliff-related scientific literature. We hope you will gain a better understanding and deeper appreciation of the diversity\, ecology\, and conservation value of Southern Appalachian outcrop and cliff communities. \nPrerequisites: Introductory biology\, ecology\, or permission of instructor. \nClick here to apply.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Field to Database Course Ends (3rd-7th)
DESCRIPTION:Field to Database: Collecting Biodiversity Data in the Age of Global Databases August 3 – August 7 \nDr. Joey Shaw\, UC Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences\, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga & Caleb Powell M.S. Candidate; The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga \nDuring this course\, students will obtain a comprehensive understanding of how biological collections are made in the field and eventually uploaded to national and international data portals\, like iDigBio or GBIF. We will help you to download and install important helpful apps and teach you how to use them in series to go from field to data portal. Students will leave the course having collected Plantae specimens\, made labels\, mounted specimens\, and uploaded digital data to global portals. In addition to teaching and focusing on these skills\, I can also help you to key out and identify plant species that you might encounter and want to collect in the field\, although you should have some cursory skills. \nPrerequisites & Prior Training: This course is designed for young professionals who will be making biological collections of plants or fungi (professors\, conservation workers\, graduate students\, undergraduate students\, and naturalists)\, although it would certainly be open and we would make it interesting to anyone with an interest in this subject. No previous experience is required. Depending on the different field trips\, participants should be prepared to put in at least a couple 12-hour days. It would be great if you have had at least a class in Field Botany\, Plant Taxonomy\, Local Flora\, or similar\, but that is not necessary either. \nCourse Outcome: Leave having collected and digitizes Plantae specimens\, including labels\, transcribed text data & images. \nClick here to apply.
