The May/June 2008 CTAHR Research News is ready to be downloaded.
This month we feature Dr. Greg Bruland of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management. Dr. Bruland's research interests include soil and water conservation, watershed management, land-based threats to coastal ecosystems and coastal and wetland ecology and management. Greg's research illustrates how CTAHR collaborates with not only farmers and ranchers but also with ecologists and land managers; not only with the Hawaii Department of Agriculture but also the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, not only with USDA but also with U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. We hope you will enjoy Greg's story. Also featured this month are articles featuring three special CTAHR events, the Apparel Product Design and Merchandising Annual student-run fashion show and two CTAHR Centennial Events, one on Kauai and on the Island of Hawaii. C.Y.'s provides some "food for thought" on the whole food vs. biofuel debate; we acknowledge the winners from the recent CTAHR Student Research Symposium and three students from Dr. Yong Li's Lab from the Department of Human Nutrition Food and Animal Sciences, who also received recent awards. There is a short article about Lisa Matsunaga of the UH Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development (OTTED). Lisa works with CTAHR Faculty and Staff on issues related to intellectual property and licensing. As usual, there is our regular features of the Research Calabash, Recent Publications, Grants Received and Open Funding Opportunities.
We hope you will enjoy this month's CTAHR Research News.
