design and ecology. They will gain hands-on experience collecting, processing, and analyzing environmental data. This year, specific questions will include impacts of design on the microbial communities, diversity, and health of soils. Ecological and design
dimensions will be compared against social dimensions including social experience, attention-restoration effects, and human well-being.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
