The Bull Shoals Field
Station would like to
welcome aboard its new
Directo r,
Dr. Janice Greene. Dr.
Greene has a diverse
background, strong in both
field research and
environmental education.
As Associate Professor of
Biology at Missouri State University,
Dr. Greene has forged
lasting relationships with
local, state, and federal
organizations, and
currently sits on the
Missouri Clean Water
Commission.
Dr. Greene desires to help
people appreciate and
understand their local
environment. This
motivation is shown by her
involvement in many
leading environmental
education workshops, such
as the Leopold Education
Project (she is the
Missouri Director),
Project Learning Tree,
Project WILD, Project WET,
and Zero Population
Growth.
When asked about her goals for the Field Station, Dr. Greene says
she would first like to continue the good work done by the
station's first director, Dr. John Havel. Since 1999, Dr. Havel
has built a strong research program at the station, has overseen
the development of many scientific databases and informational
websites,
and has made the Field Station prominent in regional water-quality
issues.
A few of Dr. Greene's specific plans
include
modernizing the existing facilities so that they are more usable
to researchers, continuing the long-term water-quality monitoring
of Bull Shoals Lake, and adding additional ecosystem monitoring
capabilities. Additionally, she plans to strengthen the Field
Station's education mission by using the facilities to promote
education about the Ozarks region. Dr. Greene held several
K-12
teacher-training classes this summer that demonstrated
that the station is an ideal setting to learn about the
environment.
