The symposium is a university-wide event to recognize and celebrate the out- standing research, scholarship, and creative activity of our under- graduate and graduate students. The symposium also identifies our most talented students who will represent SDSU at the an- nual California State University Student Research Competition. More than 300 students will present their original scholarly work in a public forum that introduces community members, part- ners, students and guests to our many outstanding academic programs. Moreover, the symposium provides a venue for sharing academic excellence and discovery and demonstrates SDSU’s commitment to developing innovative solutions for our region, nation, and the world. All of these goals advance the vision of SDSU as a top 10 urban research university. To plan and execute an event of this magnitude required the efforts of dedicated faculty and staff members. In addition, nearly 200 judges have volunteered to share their time and exper- tise evaluating oral and poster presentations. These collective efforts demonstrate our com- mitment to fostering student scholarship and professional development and I am grateful to all who have worked so hard on behalf of our students and the university. WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT THE FROM WELCOME Best wishes for a great symposium. Sincerely, Stephen L.

    A Brief Description of The Heard Island Project Including the 2014 Cordell Expedition to Heard Island, Territory of Australia Robert W. Schmieder, Ph.D. Version 5.2 15 Oct. 2012 Cordell Expeditions 4295 Walnut Blvd. Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 934-3735 [email protected] www.cordell.org The Heard Island Project Version 5.2 (Latest version at www.heardisland.org) Page 1 of 87 This Document This document provides a brief description of the Heard Island Project, particularly the proposed 2014 Cordell Expedition to Heard Island, Territory of Australia, in the Southern Ocean. It was prepared specifically for the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) in support of an application for a permit to visit Heard Island in the time frame Jan.-Feb., 2014. The material herein was compiled by Dr. Robert W. Schmieder, Director and Expedition Leader for Cordell Expeditions, a nonprofit scientific organization based in Walnut Creek, California. Significant portions of this document were contributed by Christian Janssen, Ken Ehrhart, Dr. Steve Smith, and other members of Cordell Expeditions. Heard Island is managed by the AAD under the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Marine Reserve Management Plan of 2005. The foreword of that plan contains the following statement: This management plan includes measures to ensure that the Reserve’s values are identified, protected and communicated to the public, most of whom will never visit this remote, wild and special place. In particular the Plan includes comprehensive measures designed to prevent the introduction of alien species from human activities, to ensure protection of important terrestrial and marine species, habitats and ecosystems, and to interpret the cultural heritage values associated with 19th century sealing activities and the earliest Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition.
