In 2017 BIOL student Kyle Lunneberg and ENVS students Andrea Cornelius and Ana Lutz helped Prof Christina Simokat to create a project that would provide fieldwork experience for CSUSM students.
We investigated a real-world question –
should Kelly Trail in Agua Hedionda Lagoon be extended?
Students use research, observation, data collection, and analysis to create their own recommendations.
This high-impact practice was possible due to senior students becoming Site Supervisors, assisting current students in fieldwork and ensuring the safety of everyone on site.
