Course: Neuroscience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nature\u2019s Navigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will learn how the invertebrate nervous system combines multiple sensory cues, including Earth’s magnetic fields, into a complex hierarchy of signals that can direct and guide navigational tasks. Fieldwork will include collecting samples and examining invertebrate behavior under a microscope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

James is currently a Senior Instructor II of English and Writing at Eastern Oregon University. He received a BA from Carleton College and MFA at Virginia Tech. He is an avid explorer and hiker, and centers much of his fiction, essays and poetry on the landscape of the American West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course: Visual Storytelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Photography and Writing in the Wilderness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visual storytelling project will introduce students to the landscape, ecosystems, history, culture and region of the John Day River through practical learning of photography and video instruction, the use of modern camera equipment, and learning how to generate multi-modal narratives. Students will have the opportunity to conduct fieldwork through story drafting, visual observation and collection as they embark on a variety of activities in the classroom and the outdoors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Christine Longjohn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am Christine Longjohn and I am a Navajo Riparian Ecologist, who is working for The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs as a Fisheries Biologist. I am from Utah and have had the opportunity to work in the Pacific Northwest with the Tribes and The Forest Service. I have been a part of restoration projects in the John Day Basin and currently working on Salmon monitoring programs in the Hood River Basin. I am an avid Fly Fisher with a passion for our watershed health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course: River Dynamics and Macroinvertebrate Identification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Study of Macroinvertebrates and Microbes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will learn the changing dynamics along the John Day River with some historical, cultural, and present-day challenges. Which some of the impacts are from climate change, development, agriculture, and invasive species. The field project will include the sampling of macroinvertebrates along a reach on the John Day River and how to identify them to order or families. Students will learn to process a small study of biodiversity integrity and how they are impacted with changing watershed dynamics. This will also be integrated into identification for fishing techniques as a fly fisher. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eric Carlson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

REV Project Manger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eric is a born and raised Oregonian, originally from Burns. He received an associate\u2019s degree of forest resource technology from Central Oregon Community College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A self-described tree nerd, Eric worked as a forester for about 10 years before joining REV. During this time he gained valuable project management skills, and experience collaborating with different natural resource agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eric loves anything outdoors and is excited to use his passions to REV as the project manager. He is excited to bring the experience he has outdoors to the Get Outside After School Activities Program (GO-ASAP) and Cottonwood Crossing Student Institute and Cottonwood Canyon Teaching Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Eric\u2019s days off you will probably find him out on one of the many beautiful hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
