Cruise Chief Scientist Jennifer MacKinnon with a McLane Moored Profiler. The instrument, one of four deployed on two moorings for 50 days, measured depth-profiles of temperatures, salinity and current speed.
Other Student GroupsTGIFOrganizers: Todd Johnson, Rosa Leon , Ben Neal, Tristan Carland, Danny Richter, Xue Fan, Pete Barry Contact: TG Committee Beer on Friday afternoons in Surfside (Revelle Family Student Center) for a dollar. What more need be said? Species ClubContact: Tara Whitty Are you interested in learning more about local plants and animals? Are you curious about what you are seeing when you are beachcombing, snorkeling, diving, or doing field work in San Diego? If so, come by the "Species ID Club", an informal monthly meeting where we teach each other about the critters around us. It works sort of like a journal club, where we switch off who is the "presenter" and they lead the session. We try to use mostly live samples and specimens from the SIO collections. Ecologists and non-ecologists alike are welcome (and get a lot out of it). If you are not interested in presenting a session, you can bring the snacks for a session. Join the Species Club mailing list! Journal of Environment and DevelopmentJED is run by UCSD graduate students, based at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies. Intended for a general audience, it was the first journal to combine environmental and developmental issues and includes discourse on political science, economics, law and public policy. Student volunteers review papers for readability and suitability to the journal before they are sent to peer reviewers. Some amount of commitment involved, Scripps students welcome. Environmental Science and Policy GroupWe are a group of graduate students who have recently founded a seminar series dealing with science and policy issues. We are bringing in speakers regularly during the school year, both people who have scientific Ph.D.s and have pursued non-academic careers in government, non-profits, or industry, as well as specialists in related fields such as environmental law or scientific journalism. Part of our goal is to expose students to viable career options for scientists outside of academia. |
