Non-Degree Training

Twenty undergraduates have obtained training on the database component of this grant, one of which is now a principal databaser with another PEET project. These students now know what constitutes a database, how to enter and manipulate data, and how to obtain further information such as geographic coordinates from USGS sites on the WWW and from Microsoft Encarta™ Global Atlas. Many have taught new students these skills, and one has mastered RangeMapper™ for plotting distribution maps based on coordinate data exported from MANDALA (see species in Chromolepida key).
