For the month of June 2007 I spent five weeks at Northern Arizona University working on a research grant. We were considered "teachers as investigators" and we spent our days doing science and math research. I spent my research time investigating population models of species that are important to Santa Catalina Island.
Santa Catalina Island is one of the larger islands in the Channel Islands off the coast of California. It has been a vacation favorite for decades and has been owned by the Wrigly's. It is now mostly owned by the Catalina Island Conservancy Agency which strives to protect the natural environment and the ingrained culture of the island.
