Geog163 Home

Hello.  Welcome to the home page for Geog163-Web/Spring Quarter 2004. This page was created for Professor Walter by his student Carol Campbell, to bring this course to you, with the same techniques and resources, in the same way Professor Walter brought you into the field.  In this web are links to the data sheets,  handouts, student samples, reference lists, field guides, and contact information for our field sites and exercises.

  This site covers the activities of the Field Analysis in Biogeography course.  We will enjoy 13 field days to more than 14 locations.  We will also spend 2 days at UCLA; on the first we will participate in a methods workshop, on the second we will conclude the quarter by presenting our individual research projects for the Spring 2004 Class Conference
  Each of the sites we will visit during the 2004 spring quarter can be visited by making a choice from the table of contents on the left.  The "Appendix" choice takes you to a table where you can view or print all the course handouts, samples of student reports, and site brochures etc.
