The UC Berkeley Interactive University Project The Youth-PLAN (formerly known as Urban Plan) was created in 1993 by graduate students in UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design to expose high school students to urban planning and design. The Environmental Leadership Program of the College of Natural Resources is exploring how to best use a unique Internet-based tool to support science curriculum standards across grade levels in the Oakland Unified School District. UC Berkeley graduate and undergraduate students work directly with teachers and students in classes and after-school programs to enhance students understanding of archaeology as a practice, and to encourage the development of critical thinking skills. iu.berkeley.edu /IU/Phase2   (1641 words)

UC Berkeley Researcher Promotes New Solutions To Improving Crop Yields And Ending Hunger In Africa In a policy article published March 15 in the journal Science, Pedro Sanchez, visiting professor at the Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, said the high cost in Africa of commercial fertilizer has put it out of reach for most farmers. Berkeley - Trees, shrubs and rocks are helping tens of thousands of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa increase crop yields two- to four-fold, providing strong evidence that innovative soil fertility replenishment programs work and should be expanded, argues a University of California, Berkeley, researcher. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the only region in the world where per capita food production has remained stagnant over the past 40 years, said Sanchez, who is also a senior research fellow at UC Berkeley's Center for Sustainable Resource Development. www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2002/03/020315071822.htm   (1389 words)

College of Natural Resources - News Item Over the course of a year, the UC Berkeley researchers determined the amount of ozone lost in a ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 50 miles from Sacramento. Berkeley - Most scientists believe that when smog ozone is taken up by the forests of the Sierra Nevada, it is mostly absorbed by trees and plants. But new research at the University of California, Berkeley, suggests a large proportion of the ozone is actually transformed by chemical reactions in the air with compounds emitted by the forest. www.cnr.berkeley.edu /site/news_item_detail.php?id%3D56   (674 words)

Symposium honoring W. D. Hamilton will bring renowned international biologists to UC Berkeley campus on October 20-21 The Hamilton Symposium is co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley College of Natural Resources and Division of Insect Biology and the Department of Entomology at UC Davis. W. Hamilton A symposium honoring the late W. Hamilton, perhaps the most influential evolutionary biologist since Charles Darwin, will bring noted biologists from several nations to the University of California, Berkeley, campus on October 20 and 21. Hamilton illustrated his theory, which became known as kin selection or inclusive fitness, with a study of the social Hymenoptera- ants, bees and wasps- whose genetics make them more closely related to their sisters than their daughters, and who have delegated reproduction to each colony's queen. news.ucanr.org /storyshow.cfm?story=145&printver=yes   (720 words)

UC Berkeley Center for Forestry: Horace Lecture As Director of the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems, Dr. Commoner is directing far-ranging studies of the origins and significance of alterations in the environment, especially as related to modern technology, and of fertilization and the current status of the nitrogen cycle. Indeed, Dr. Commoner's career is striking evidence in support of the often-debated proposition that the best education for the future generalist is through intensive specialization. This tends to increase the average age at marriage, culminating in a reduced birthrate - which mitigates the pressure on resources. www.cnr.berkeley.edu /forestry/lectures/albright/1973commoner.html   (6514 words)

BERKELEY / Probe of research pact at Cal released / While no harm was done, avoiding such deals in future urged Some faculty members and graduate students within UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, which includes the plant biology department, felt tainted by the association, and there is "little rationale" for such a department-wide approach, according the report. Funding for plant biology at Cal rose significantly under the contract, but the report found another biology department at Berkeley and one at Michigan without such a contract also saw significant income jumps during the same period. In a prepared statement, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Paul Gray said the report "provides data to show that the (plant and microbial biology) department is healthier today than it was before the agreement was put into place." He noted an increase in funding from other sources and a rise in graduate student applications. sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/07/31/BAGOD808GN1.DTL   (6514 words)

04.17.98 - Feeding on lizard blood strips ticks of dangerous Lyme disease bacterium "Lizards are doing humanity a great service here," said Robert Lane, professor of insect biology in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley and principal investigator on the tick findings, published this week in California Agriculture and before that in the Journal of Parasitology. The western fence lizard is an even more important host of immature nymphal ticks that transmit Lyme disease in Northern California than most rodents, said Lane. Cleansing of the tick gut by the lizard protein occurs in the nymphal stage of tick development, which is an immature stage usually smaller than 1/20th of an inch in length. www.berkeley.edu /news/media/releases/98legacy/04_17_98a.html   (6514 words)
