Advising You are required to meet with your advisor every term in order to receive your PIN. Please visit the BEE advising webpage<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbee.orego…> to review requirements and the advising guide. You don't have to wait until registration time to set up an appointment. As long as you have had a meeting this term and discussed future coursework, the advisor can issue you your PIN number via email when they become available. If you will have a lot to discuss in your meeting, it is a good idea to get in early. The College of Engineering and College of Science offer free peer tutoring for a wide variety of courses. Check this webpage for more information and schedules - https://engineering.oregonstate.edu/current-students/academic-support<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fengineeri…>. NEW! Mentorship Program Welcome to the start of the year with the BEE community! We have an exciting new program for our Ecological Engineering undergraduates starting this year thanks to input from our Alumni during exit interviews and BEE Department Head's, Dr. Adam Ward, excitement to invest in every students success while studying with us and beyond. We would like to invite you all to participate in the Biological & Ecological Engineering Mentor Collective Program. When you sign up for this program, you will be matched with an alumni mentor. A mentor can provide additional support and guidance because they have been where you are now. To get started, register and complete a short survey (this will take you only 3 minutes!) telling us about yourself, and we will match you with a mentor with similar interests and backgrounds and what's important to you. Click here to register and complete your survey <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Foregonsta…> Once you complete that survey, you can expect an email from the Mentor Collective team with more information - be sure to check it out, and do not hesitate to reach out to Jennifer Cohen in either the main office (Gilmore 116) or her email at Jennifer.cohen(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:Jennifer.cohen@oregonstate.edu> or reach out to the Mentor Collective directly at help(a)mentorcollective.org<mailto:help@mentorcollective.org>. NEW CLASS! Winter Term 2025 CE 499/599: ST/Engineering with Nature Instructor: Meagan Wengrove (Meagan.wengrove(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:Meagan.wengrove@oregonstate.edu>) Course Meets: W/F 8:30am-9:50am Description: We focus on the using natural resources and nature based features (coastal dunes, marshes, cobble berms, woody debris, etc.) in engineering design to mitigate the effects of flooding and erosion in coastal, estuarine and coastal influenced riverine areas. We will go over concepts including conception/planning, policy frameworks, resilience, risk, design, and adaptive management. The course will have lectures and two 6 hour field trips January 13, February 17 to visit some nature based design projects on the Oregon and possibly Washington coasts. The course will be primarily a project based course.

McInturf, Research Associate, Big Fish Lab, Oregon State University Topic: Where are the basking sharks? A Global Perspective on the World's Second-Largest Fish Basking sharks are the world's second largest fish and one of three filter-feeding shark species. Historically abundant in coastal hotspots worldwide, where they were often observed feeding at the surface, basking sharks are now considered rare in most parts of their former range, due to a combination of threats including overexploitation, ship strikes, and climate change. Despite their size and global distribution, very little is known about this enigmatic animal. In this seminar, I will discuss my work examining the drivers of distribution this species in both the Pacific and Atlantic using community science data. I will also highlight ongoing research using electronic tags designed to monitor fine-scale space use, examine foraging and social behaviors, and identify ongoing threats to basking sharks. Finally, I will discuss current efforts to identify research priorities and management actions for global conservation of this threatened species. HMSC Research Seminar - Cornelia Oedekoven, Senior Research Fellow, Center of Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling, University of St. Andrews<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, January 23 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Speaker: Cornelia Oedekoven, Senior Research Fellow, Center of Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling, University of St. Andrews Topic: From distance sampling to spatial capture recapture - new opportunities for visual and acoustic surveys using recent advances in technology. Methods for estimating the number of animals in a population (abundance) commonly require obtaining a count of the individuals detected during a survey and an estimate of what proportion of the population this count represents. For the latter, additional information needs to be gathered during the survey. Distance sampling (DS), for example, is a commonly used method for estimating cetacean abundance during ship-based line transect surveys where this additional information consists of the perpendicular distances between the line and the detected cetacean schools. This method relies on that all animals directly on the line were detected. Using two observation platforms in a mark-recapture distance sampling survey can alleviate this potential issue. However, setting up a second observation platform in a meaningful way poses new challenges. In this talk, I will present case studies which used new technology for improving abundance estimation, two marine studies which employed acoustic recorders or drones during cetacean surveys and one terrestrial study which employed newly developed acoustic recorders for monitoring gibbons using spatial capture-recapture. These studies highlight the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to population monitoring.
