Biocomplexity Field Trip to Yellowstone
• Goals– Direct experience in biocomplexity projects in the
Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem• Ecosystem-wide (meso-scale)
– Dave McGinnis and Crew• Micro-scale
– Bruce Fouke and Dave Mogk
– Field experience is intrinsic to Geo/biocomplexity –how to effectively teach in this environment?
– Notebook—”Field Notes”—novelty space; – Road Log—stops keyed in for Paradise Valley and
YNP– Have Fun—in a great setting, interesting science…

Paradise Valley Physiography
Famous Spring Creeks for trout fishing—outstanding habitat for trout is offered by constant temperatures and nutrients of the springs; controlled by local structural geology and hydrology.

Land Use Demands—wilderness, agriculture, tourism…over a century of competing interests.

Contemporary Issues
Cattle v. bison and the potential spread of brucellosis, ungulate fever.

Wolf recovery—blessing or bane? A restoration of the “natural” system?
Impacts on ungulate herds, ranching, tourism???

Wildlife “management”? For ecosystem balance? Hunting interests?

How to teach biocomplexity in the field?
• As you participate in the field trip, please consider– What are appropriate learning goals– What will the students actually do– What resources will you need (in the field, in
preparation, as a follow-up)– What are the expected outcomes– How will you evaluate student performance
