Cabo Verde e Sua Geografía: HERITOR

 

I am very pleased that several of my university colleagues have received a grant for an ambitious environmental project in Cape Verde. The HERITOR project will involve more than a dozen undergraduate students over the next three years. 

They will conduct field-based research on important questions of coastal water quality AND assist in science outreach with youth in the study area. The HERITOR project is a collaboration among the Biology Department, the CASE program, and the Pedro Pires Institute -- plus many non-BSU collaborators and the National Science Foundation. 

I am not officially part of this project, but my broader experience in Cape Verde enables me to contribute to the preparation of the team. This will begin with my  CAPE VERDE GEOGRAPHY   presentation for the opening class session. I share it here as an easy way to make all of its illustrations and its many links available to the HERITOR participants.
