Environmental Science Student Symposium Poster Day 2014""""""""""""""About the symposium: Introduction to Environmental Science (ENR2100) is an introductory class for both science and non-science majors at The Ohio State University (OSU). Students who enroll in ENR2100 during the fall semester at OSU participate in a scientific poster session and experience the process of peer review during the annual Environmental Science Student Symposium (es3). The symposium consists of hundreds of individual posters (e.g., the 2014 symposium has 721 presentations) that our students research, design, construct and present to an audience of students and faculty. Posters focus on recent research that has been conducted in areas such as air pollution, biodiversity, climate change, coal, fresh water resources, food production, ecosystem preservation, energy production, evolution, fisheries, forestry, fossil fuels, mining, non-renewable energy, natural gas, nuclear power, petroleum, renewable energy, sustainability, urbanization, and water pollution.""We have four main learning objectives:""1. Students learn how to find information and critically evaluate topics, issues, results and
conclusions. ""2. Students learn how scientific research is conducted and how results and conclusions are
reported to the public so that people can make more informed decisions in their own lives.""3. Students learn that the peer-review evaluation system is an integral part of the scientific
process that enables scientists to maintain high standards of quality and provides credibility to research and scholarly works. ""
4. Peer reviews teach students how to become better writers and speakers by focusing their attention on particular details and considering the input of an actual audience.

Welcome""It is our pleasure to welcome you to the third annual Environmental Science Student Symposium (es3). We are thrilled to have 721 posters presented by students from The Ohio State University (OSU). The number of posters represents a significant increase from 2013 when we had 615 posters and 2012 when we had 425 posters. Detailed information about this year’s symposium and previous symposiums can be viewed at: go.osu.edu/posterday ""This year we are unveiling a new on-line peer-review system that was funded by the Office of Distance Education and eLearning and the School of Environment & Natural Resources at OSU. This application, accessed through https://alpha.osu.edu is designed to help our students become better speakers and writers. ""The symposium officially begins at 8:00 am on Tuesday, November 25 in the Performance Hall of the Ohio Union. The symposium will be broken down into four consecutive sessions. Each session will last two hours and consist of approximately 180 new posters. Students will set up their posters at the beginning of each session (8:00 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm) and then present their posters to the audience throughout the session. ""The program promises to deliver exciting presentations from our students that describe cutting-edge science and major challenges that will shape Earth’s future. Topics will be as diverse as our students, who represent virtually every department, school and college at OSU. ""Students, faculty, staff, alumni and the public are welcome to attend anytime throughout the day. Admission is free to everyone. Enjoy the poster symposium and GO BUCKEYES!
