August 1996 we created an undergraduate webcourse, Forest Policy 4005 (that is the most recent version), for the Faculty of Forestry at the University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton . At the University of Calgary and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, I was able to do similar lectures (Remote Sensing of the Environment and Modeling, Biogeography, Landscape Ecology) with Web-CT and Blackboard. I am very interested on feedback and experiences about these courses, concepts and designs, as well as about general Remote Learning and Distant Education.

From 1998 onwards I was able to work for La Suerte Fieldschool on mapping and distribution of monkeys and birds; see the URL for more information.

Seabirds and Oil Study Contract: In 1999 I worked in a research team on a Seabird-Oil Contract in the Northwest Atlantic (e.g. off Newfoundland , Scotian Shelf); see the URL for more information.

Sea of Okhotsk Shorebird Migration Study 1999and 2000: From 1999 onwards I was able to go to the Sea of Okhotsk Russian Far East ; see URL for more information.

Besides my research in Alaska, and if time allows, my next projects will deal with Papua New Guinea and Tropical Ecology; see URL for more information.
