Welcome to a month in a life of NR453: Geospatial Field Methods for Natural Resources!

This past summer, Instructor Elizabeth Tulanowski led her class through a series of mapping and GPS lessons around campus, in classrooms, at CSU Mountain Campus, and in the field.

Students practiced their data collection techniques and mapping skills through practical real-world exercises, and they got some lessons in drone technology.

If you’re interested in learning more about the GIS minor or GIS classes in general, reach out to Elizabeth ([email protected]) or visit the GIS webpage: https://warnercnr.colostate.edu/geospatial-information-science-for-natural-resources-minor/

The GIS minor can complement your natural resources major, allowing you to gain technical skills and increase your employment potential.

Student Spotlight | Meet Lydia Whipple!

Lydia is a third-year majoring in Geology and concentrating in geophysics, and she just got back from a GEO-packed summer!

Working as a geology/geophysics intern for Terracon Consultants, Lydia's primary responsibilities during this internship were to log soils and rock samples, classify materials, and record groundwater observations.

"Along with my internship, I had the opportunity to conduct geophysical field research in Wyoming in partnership with the University of Wyoming. Working in the Wind River Range and South Pass, I helped gather gravity and magnetic susceptibility data that is used in determining subsurface geology," she explained.

And if that wasn't enough, Lydia also worked as a volunteer for the USGS assisting in projects to map critical minerals in North America.

One last hang. 🌲🧡

It’s the final episode of Hammock Hang, and we’re wrapping up the series with one last conversation under the trees.

We’re closing out the series with Sydney Jackson-Clockston, Warner’s new Career Education Coordinator, chatting about everything from travel adventures and live music to career journeys and supporting students at Warner.

Thanks for hanging with us over the years. We hope you’ve enjoyed every episode as much as we have!💚

Today marks Colorado’s 150th birthday, and we’re throwing it back with some archival photos. Did you know the University is even older than the state of Colorado? The Colorado Agricultural College was established in 1870, 6 years before Colorado became the 38th state in the Union. Happy 150, Colorado!

Earlier this month, the Warner College Career Team had the opportunity to visit the brand new Colorado State Forest Service tree nursery!

The nursery has new state-of-the-art equipment – including cold rooms for seed saving, a seed-sorting machine, and irrigation systems – that will help CSFS grow 1 to 2 million container seedlings a year.

Blue Spruce, Ponderosa Pine, other native species, and fruit trees will be grown here to aid in reforesting the state of Colorado, primarily in areas affected by wildfire.

What made this tour even more special was that this tour was led by two Warner College alumni: Orion Aon and Lily Perez. Plus the temperature controlled nursery offered a nice cool reprieve from the heat of the day!
