Education Research
The BES education research agenda covers the gamut from exploring how individual students learn about their city as an ecosystem to an attempt to rigorously describe the formal and in-formal urban ecosystem education system in the metropolis as a whole. Also included are inquiries about ecology teaching and about the recruitment, professional development and training […]
CompHydro
Today, cutting-edge advances in environmental sciences often are made with the aid of computational research using “big data” sets that are publicly available online. Scientists use big data to model complex systems, deepen understanding of how these systems function, and make predictions about potential changes in Earth’s climate, hydrologic and ecological systems. Computational thinking is […]
Integrating Chemistry and Earth science (ICE)
Project Partners include the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Baltimore City Public Schools and George Washington University. ICE is a three-year project funded by the National Science Foundation to develop a unit for the new Baltimore High School chemistry curriculum that brings earth science into the chemistry curriculum. It will include concepts, datasets and protocols […]
Postdoctoral Associate (2)
Full-Time in Millbrook, NY – Scientific POSITION: Recruiting two Postdoctoral Associates to work on synthetic analyses for the the Baltimore Long Term Ecological Research project. We seek postdoctoral researchers interested in synthesis of long-term urban ecological and social science data collected over the past 20 years. Postdoctoral Associates will be based at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in […]
Branches – Young Environmental Scientists
During the summer of 2015 and for the first time, BES partnered with the Parks & People Foundations’ Branches program to bring BES research to the level of school-age students in our first ever, Branches – Young Environmental Scientists program (Branches YES). For five weeks over the summer, five Baltimore City Public School students participated […]
