  • Iowa's Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape
    Iowa’s Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape Kayla Koether Advisers: Jon Andelson and Kathy Jacobson Independent Major Senior Thesis February 8, 2012 Iowa’s Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape 2 Acknowledgements I’d first like to acknowledge my advisers, Professor Jon Andelson and Professor Kathy Jacobson, who not only guided me through each step of this project, but who have also mentored me through my four years at Grinnell College, investing in my visions of an independent major in International Agriculture and Rural Development. I am also deeply indebted to the many kind and interesting individuals who shared their perspectives and showed me their bison for the sake of this project. I only hope that they enjoyed the interview process as much as I. Thanks goes out to my parents, Greg and Kathy Koether, for their support, and especially to my dad for helping me create this project and find a calling in the land. I’d like to thank the Center for Prairie Studies at Grinnell College for providing an intellectual and physical space for this line of place-based academic exploration. Finally, I must thank Landon Corlett and many other friends for their intellectual and moral support as I completed this project.

  • SNAPSHOTS in TIME Exploring Greater Houston Land Transformation Over Time
    PRAIRIE SNAPSHOTS IN TIME Exploring Greater Houston Land Transformation Over Time 101 Introduction Humans have always reordered and used wild nature to meet their survival needs and to build wealth. Sometimes this change happens gradually and sometimes this GRADE LEVEL changes occurs rapidly. This makes it difficult for citizens of a particular region to 3 – 5 sense this change and they often believe that their neighborhood, town, or city looks at least something akin to what would have been found in the area before human settlement. Yet, this is often untrue. SUBJECT AREAS Science, History A good example of this type of transformation is what occurred in and around Houston, Texas. Visitors to, and indeed many current residents of, Houston believe that the Bayou City was built on a swamp or was carved out of an immense forest. DURATION Houston’s earliest explorers did indeed encounter swamps - near major rivers and Science, History bayous (including Buffalo Bayou where the City of Houston was founded in 1836). There were also extensive forests north of the city and along rivers, bayous, and creeks. Yet, Houston’s signature landscape was the coastal prairie ecosystem - a SETTING distinct, beautiful, and wet tallgrass prairie. Indoors This prairie was immensely useful. Its lush grasslands could be used to raise huge herds of cattle and its rich soils could be used to grow rice, corn, CORRELATIONS soybeans, sugarcane, satsumas, (a small citrus tree with fruit having a thin See page 13 orange skin), melons, and other crops. The prairie’s level and mostly treeless and rockless landscape could also be easily and inexpensively developed into farms and neighborhoods.
