NatureLab

Laboratory for Ecological Research

Environmental Projects and Workspace.

Ecological Projects:

  • Botany – Design techniques for large-scale habitat restoration programs in arid climates, chaparral and oak woodlands, including propagation methods, rainfall and water management. (arid climate and subtropical plant culture techniques)

  • Biology – Develop techniques for endangered species preservation and restoration, cytokine monitoring, gestational support systems and gamete preservation.

  • Architecture – Design and demonstrate very low impact architectural strategies that benefit the natural environment, utilizing sustainable or regenerative resources, personal labor, thermodynamic and energy independent technologies.

  • Agriculture – Study and demonstrate food production methods based on local and sustainable culturing systems, indigenous and arid climate plants.

  • Population – Review approaches to encourage population sustainability based on health benefits, biodiversity, individual awareness and medical technologies.

  • Social Research – Analyze studies and criteria to assist with a review of: Nature Protection and Restoration, Construction, Fire and Insurance company impact, to bring attention to large scale and forceful destruction of countryside and wilderness regions, by various agencies and private entities, typically without economic purpose or benefit. Review any incentives to: encourage the creation of private nature reserves, restore habitat damages, substantially reduce the impact of construction, suburban sprawl, energy and resource consumption and assist with the design of wilderness and low impact communities.

  • Molecular Biology – Preparing for a world going into botanical shock. Gene sequence identification to extend drought tolerance and freeze resistance in fruit bearing plants and to assist with wilderness restoration. Research molecular mechanisms of plant immunological suppression and parasitic adaptations. Create techniques for the restoration of ecological interdependence through the development of hybrid substitutes to augment endangered or extinct species. Research telomere restoration and cloning as tools to slow the extinction process, protect gene pools and develop more secure evolutionary paths. Identify gene clusters that can influence or alter consumption requirements, violence and problem solving capabilities in herbivores and predatory species. Develop computational models of ecological systems including: alternate climate projections, human impacts and violence, the process of extinction, biologic limitations, the influence of industrial resources and the genetic attributes required to sustain and continue a diverse evolutionary processes. Identify and distinguish various biologically and industrially based human needs, wants and desires as related to our evolutionary interests and potentials.

  • Communications – Web site design to provide practical information to assist with: habitat protection, reforestation, endangered species restoration, small scale agricultural systems, and architectural strategies that can benefit the natural environment, as well as social approaches that can encourage voluntary and cooperative participation.

 

Participation may optionally include personal research or field work in botany, law, architecture, planning, thermal, structural and materials engineering, molecular cell biology, endocrinology and zoology.
