Jim Steele
I am an ecologist. I received a Masters in Biology from San Francisco State University where I served as SFSU’s Director of the Sierra Nevada Field Campus from 1984 to 2010. I produce scientific climate videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7XNHEz2QCJ_Phf2mvDFk0Q/videos During my time as director, I was also the principal investigator for the U. S. Forest Service’s Neotropical Migratory Bird monitoring in Riparian Habitats on the Tahoe National Forest and initiated the partnership for the successful Carman Valley Watershed Restoration project.
