Notes

Attendees --SEEK Exec

  • Members of the SEEK Exec proposed establishing a working group to design and implement the distributed graduate seminar.
  • The course should be held at 3-4 of the SEEK institutions.
    • Proposed institutions include UC Davis, UCSB, KU and UNM.
    • Current point people
      • Bertram and Shawn, UC Davis
      • Mark Schildhauer, UC SB
      • Samantha Romanello and Deana Pennington, UNM
      • James Beach?!?!, KU
  • Class format was discussed.
    • Parrallel seminars that are coordinated enough to meet and overlap and
    • Both computer science classes and ecology classes
    • Each class could answer a regional biological/ecological question; data needed about 4 to 5 datasets which could then be used to synthesized across regions to answer the same biological/ecological question at a national scale
  • KEY ISSUES
    • Defining an interesting project from the ecology side that would also have an interesting enough computer science component.
      • suggestions included
        • Comparing and contrasting and knowledge representation of key ecological/biological issues
        • Have students work on creating real application workflows
    • Identifying individuals from both the computer science and biology/ecology side to assist in teaching the course
    • students should be able to get a publishable paper from class participation
    • make sure the credit hours reflect the amount of outside class work
    • Identify data that would be available – grassland biodiversity --

Action Items

  • Establish a working group to design the distributed graduate seminar
  • Establish an point person at each university for infrastructure (i.e., getting course *number,advertising course, etc.0
  • Establish a working group page
  • Set up meeting for every two weeks
