Goals and Objectives Highlights / Photo Essay Publications / Presentations Students ... Home June 10 – July 2, 2001 Eugene G. Maurakis, Ph.D., Expedition Director UR study abroad program in Greece constitutes two courses over a 22-day period (one for biology/environmental science majors, and one for non-majors biology students): a. Biology/Environmental Science Majors: Course title, Environmental-Freshwater Fish Biodiversity and Biogeography in Greece (BIO 331; 4-hr credit). This course is an interactive, hands-on course (lectures and field investigations) that examines ecology of freshwater fish faunas and relationships between biodiversity, biogeography, and anthropogenic environmental effects. Students will develop a baseline data set for aquatic biodiversity inventories, determine biogeographic relationships of southern Balkan river drainages, and their application to natural resource management and environmental ethics. b. Non-biology majors: Course title: Experiencing Science (BIO-131; 3-hr credit). This course uses interactive, hands-on learning approaches in field studies and lectures to develop students skills and understanding science as a process (scientific methods) with experiences in making observations and collections, record keeping, hypothesis formulation and testing, data analysis, and reaching conclusions. Students not only will learn information in their coursework, but will make significant contributions to the understanding of the freshwater fish biodiversity in Greece, which can be applied to management plans of ecosystems in the region. Information generated by students will be publishable. Overall, the UR Summer Environmental Studies Program in Greece will heighten students’ knowledge and understanding of the complex relationships between various disciplines (environmental, geographic, biological, economic, political, and social) that have shaped the environmental conditions in Greece and Europe.

Archivists are responsible for preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. Archivists can equally play a role in preserving our environment. The transport and storage of archival materials - and the equipment and consumables in offices and search rooms - have an impact on the environment. But there are ways in which we can save energy, reduce pollution and reduce waste. Sustainable development is on the government agenda, with the establishment of a special commission in 2000.

Back to the News MEDIA CONTACT: Sally Anne Giedrys Communications Manager sgiedrys@ecotarium.org NEW ENGLAND MUSEUMS JOIN FORCES TO BUILD ECOLOGY EXHIBITS Jane's Trust awards grant to seed important collaborative effort Over the next four years, the grant will fund the development of five innovative traveling exhibits about key topics related to the New England environment. Founding members of the Environmental Exhibit Collaborative include the EcoTarium, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness, New Hampshire, and the ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont. The Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, Vermont, is also involved in the regional project, playing an advisory role. Working together, members will develop conceptual ideas; share design, fabrication, and staff resources; and exchange collections and expertise to create high-quality interactive exhibits designed expressly for small and mid-sized museums. Each exhibit will be about 1,200 square feet in size and will be displayed at each of the museums for up to six months. In addition, exhibits will be designed to tour and will be available to travel to other museums, nature centers and aquariums in the region. New England is fortunate to have a rich array of small and mid-sized museums that play unique roles in their communities. These institutions work with schools, provide a place for families to take part in fun and educational family experiences and offer opportunities for lifelong learning.

Back to the News MEDIA CONTACT: Sally Anne Giedrys Communications Manager sgiedrys@ecotarium.org ECOTARIUM AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS IMLS GRANT TO SUPPORT TRAVELING EXHIBIT COLLABORATIVE In December 2003, the formation of the Environmental Exhibits Collaborative was supported with a grant from Jane's Trust to develop five exhibits over the next four years. The first of these exhibits, Turtle Travels, will open at the EcoTarium in February 2005. The exhibit is currently in development. The IMLS funds will allow the Collaborative to conduct visitor research to determine the most compelling topics and approaches for the exhibits being developed, to explore marketing ideas, conduct visitor research to assess the effectiveness of the traveling exhibits in attracting an audience, and to develop and implement marketing materials and strategies for use by members of the collaborative and other museums that might rent the exhibits in the future. "The EcoTarium and its partners are notonly working together to fill a niche in the museum community, but also creatively working to provide environmental science exhibits that engage families and individuals in learning about the region," said EcoTarium Executive Director Laura H. Myers. "We are thrilled that the IMLS has recognized our initiative with this important national support." "Museums for America grants invest not only in museums, but in the people and the communities they serve," said Dr. Robert S. Martin, Director of the Institute. "These grants will advance these institutions' role as trusted resources that create and sustain a nation of learners."

Contents Previous Next 1. Introduction 1.1 Climate 1.2 Materials 1.3 Modifying the environment Literature cited This study is intended primarily as a practical guide to aid in the prevention and basic treatment of mold growth in tropical climates where library-wide environmental control is not always possible, and mold is a recurring problem. Even in more temperate climates, outbreaks of mold may occur as a result of flooding or localized environmental control problems. Increased concern over the toxicity of many of the standard fumigants has led libraries and museums to re-examine existing policies which rely primarily on chemical treatment of mold outbreaks. It is increasingly apparent that more attention must be given to prevention and alternate treatments in order to protect not only collections, but staff and patrons as well. To be concerned with the preservation of materials in tropical climates is to be concerned with the study of: - Climate. - The effects of that climate on specific materials. - The widest possible range of options for modifying the environment.

We also hope to feature more examples of eco-activist art, art that actually changes the environment for the better, rather than just "representing" it. Suggestions of further examples of such art are welcome. FEATURED SITE: Art and Ecology: Environmental Arts Galleries an excellent set of links from ArtsEducationNet.
