Interdisciplinary Topics in Aquatic Science
Introduction
This on-line resource provides slides of
scientific data
and information on a variety of aquatic science topics.
The
slides on this site are excerpts from presentations given
by participants at the DIALOG V Symposium, held Oct.
19-25, 2003.
DIALOG symposia are designed to bring together
recent doctoral
recipients from a broad cross section of aquatic
science disciplines,
to foster interdisciplinary understanding and
collaborations. Each
participant made a 10-minute overview of his or her
Ph.D. dissertation
research. Speakers were instructed to avoid jargon
and make their
presentations understandable to scientists who would
be unfamiliar
with their area of expertise. Talks were uniformly
excellent and
so many participants expressed interest in having
some of the slides
for teaching purposes that the authors of this paper
decided to compile
them into an educational resource so that others
could use them for
teaching purposes. This website is the result of
that effort.
Visit
http://aslo.org/phd.html for program information and
application instructions for future DIALOG symposia.
The list of topics appears on the left.
Each topic contains 1-4 slides along with a
description
of the important points.
Links on the slides take you to the actual PowerPoint
files that can be used for teaching purposes.
Within each subject page you can obtain the file by clicking on the picture to enlarge.
Right click on the enlarged picture and select ?copy slide? from the menu.
It can then be pasted into your document or PowerPoint presentation. Also there is a link beside each slide which
Gives you the option of downloading the file in PowerPoint format. The files are self-extracting zip files. You do not need a zip program
in order to open them. When you click on the link you will be prompted to save the file. Save the file to a location of your choosing.
Once you have the file saved, double click and specify where you would like the PowerPoint presentation saved.
These files range in size up to 5 mb. Please be patient when downloading, especially if you are using a standard dial-up connection.
If your computer does not have PowerPoint you
can download a free PowerPoint Viewer from
Microsoft's web page (http://www.microsoft.com/)
For some
topics, additional references are provided.
