February 2012

Long time since I added to this blog but it has been a long year filled with many changes.   These termites in the Rain Forest (2011) tend to do a good job of modulating the temperature in their nest but  quite often I had to stop and check my temp.

All said, it was an amazing year and finished with a fantastic program in the Ecuadorian Rain Forest with a group from a local private school - great sights, science, and fun.   And there is another 3-D quadrat set up at a school in Bangor Maine, one in Boston, MA, one in Waterville Valley NH at the academy,  a couple in Nebraska, and another set in Ecuador.  Though the concept is spreading slowly it is spreading.  Hopefully this year through The Last Environment's travel program we will reestablish 3-D quadrats in the US VI and add them in Costa Rica and Iceland.
