CSS Research at CSULB

• Paul Laris and I have worked on CSS in the Geosciences Diversity Enhancement Program (GDEP, 2008-10), several upper-division and graduate courses, and theses

• GDEP: NSF-funded project supported community college and high school students as full-time summer research interns with faculty in Geography, Geological Sciences, and Archæology
• Laris' and my GDEP projects focussed on CSS in Palos Verdes, the Santa Monica Mountains, and the San Fernando Valley

• GDEP projects continued in Geography and Environmental Science and Policy courses

• Several master's theses helped inform these projects and continue to explore topics raised by them (e.g., Rachel Vann-Foster's)

• I've assembled a database of transects and quadrats done by students in GDEP and various classes
