A principios de 2023, profesores de la Universidad de Colima iniciaron un proyecto destinado a categorizar diferentes tipos de miel de Colima. Este proyecto comenzó en el 2015, cuando el equipo de la Universidad de Colima comenzó a buscar financiamiento para el estudio de la flora polinífera y nectarífera del estado de Colima. Estos estudios […]

Designing Urban Garden Perimeter Plantings
The Freshwater Society’s (FWS) Master Water Stewards (MWS) program develops, certifies, and supports community volunteer leaders to manage stormwater at a neighborhood scale to improve water quality. After a successful pilot, the FWS is preparing to expand the MWS program to watershed districts and cities state-wide. As the program expands, the FWS needs to provide […]

Examining Urban Agriculture as a Stormwater Best Management Practice
The Freshwater Society’s (FWS) Master Water Stewards (MWS) program develops, certifies, and supports community volunteer leaders to manage stormwater at a neighborhood scale to improve water quality. As part of the training program, MWS complete a capstone project in their watershed to infiltrate stormwater into the ground. MWS can use the MIDS calculator to determine […]

Examining Effects of Climate Change on Tree Species
The City of Elk River has not investigated its position on climate change and adaptation or its potential effects on the ecology and landscape of the city. Using climate models, Conservation Biology students will explore potential effects of climate change on specific tree species, focusing on street trees. Students will examine how climate change may […]
