Hi all: Gresham asked me for input here. Yes, there was a coral farm in Dominica that ha planned to grow Indonesian corals to supplement their Caribbean farming operation. I have an article at reefkeeping.com in the 2002 index on the subject. We were sent there to take a look at the...

I was asked to come view this thread, and I'm almost sorry I did. First of all, I find the initial post disturbing enough. Then, John - I cannot believe you posted what you did! You of all people should know already how these message boards work and what such comments will do. I know you...

Hi everyone: First, i would like to apologize for the delay in getting the grades and this report back to you. When we scheduled this class, i was in a relatively narrow time frame in which i would be able to adequately perform my duties as an instructor. Because of the few weeks where we...

Hi guys: I'm finally caught up after my weekend in Detroit and my very long Monday with an exam and a presentation. I owe you guys a quiz for this week yet, and some grades and I see, some posts here. I'll do those when I get home tonight, but, unfortunately, and although I was looking...

Which ones?

Oh, and just in light of the NSW sampling idea, You would definitely want to run any water through a 0.5 micron Millepore or even smaller immediately after collection to remove any phytoplankton or bacteria (or particualtes) that would could and should take up dissolved organic and inorganic...

Hi guys: Yes, those links and references have been listed and are available as Randy stated. I'll be happy and pull them and send them to you, if you want, or if Randy has them, he can send them, too. Alternately, we can just use the information as already presented. I may be mistaken, but I...

I agree John...I was shocked myself. That aside, and thanks for thumbs up from some of you, but I am not the person for this job. Those listed are. Ron knows far more about urchins and the bioassays, the others know far more about chemistry. If you guys need my help in background research of...

James: Good intentions aside, the little preliminary plan devised on p. 1. isn't a "study." Its an excercise in curiosity that may or may not show much. This has to start with a hypothesis. What is it? How many replicates? n=1? That's a problem. What are the controls? Positive and...

Randy, John, and others. Great points. First, I'd just like to say that despite any insufficiencies, statistical signficnaces, and methodological problems with Ron's work, the input of Randy, Habib and others have gone quite far into supplementing that work. This is some of the first real...

Week 8 material is uploaded. There is a lecture (short) and a pdf file (long) in the lecture folder. Week 8 quiz is up and active. Week 8 bonus question is in the quizzes folder.

As I discussed in the last chat, I am off to Brooklyn this weekend and get home at 11:01 am on Sunday - I figure it will take me a little over an hour to get home from the airport. So, Let's plan on having chat at 1pm CST, or 2pm EST this Sunday. See you there

Yes, there is, but I don;t know when or where that point is - I am sure that above a certian point availability is not imiting so you can't really go any faster based on that alone...I have never seen work looking at elevated alklinity. Also, I might add, I have never seen any negative side to...

All of them? Its a zipped archiver of jpeg's. Can someone from admin check this? I download them and open them fine, so I don't know what the problem might be to fix it at this point.

I have reuploaded the Week 6 parts 2,3, and 4 powerpoint presentations as jpeg files in a zip file. I also reuploaded the two jpegs from the week 7 lecture that some of you were having problems viewing. Let me know if there are still problems.
