The Original Education Vision…
“We will share our approach with students, educators, researchers, and
local planners through seminars, workshops, and conferences by use of case studies and comparative network
applications.”

The Project Description…
• Criterion Two- Broader Impacts: Our proposed research has several integrated educational and policy components. In terms of education, three high school teacher workshops will demonstrate the use of web based GIS models to actively engage high school seniors (and their teachers) in Puerto Rico and Colorado in biocomplexity research.
