These studies were undertaken by seniors in the Environmental Sciences Group
Major, an Interdisciplinary Studies program jointly administered by the College
of Letters and Sciences and the College of Natural Resources at the University
of California at Berkeley. The Environmental Sciences major allows students
to concentrate in one of three fields of specialization: biological science,
physical science, and social science. In their senior year, students in the
major participate in a two-semester Senior Research Seminar, investigating an
environmental topic of current concern. This project gives the students experience
in field work, general research techniques, and oral and written presentation
of research results. This volume is the compilation of research reports from
the fall 2005/spring 2006 Senior Research Seminars.
