Atoms to Ecosystems: Effects of Contaminants on Humans & the Environment
8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
This one-day workshop will provide journalists with background knowledge to better understand nano-to-macro scale processes that govern the fate and effect of important environmental contaminants. Arsenic and mercury are emphasized because of the mass arsenic poisoning of humans in Bangladesh and other parts of southeast Asia, and the potential dangers of consuming mercury-tainted fish and drinking water in the Bay Area. The Stanford Environmental Molecular Science Institute presents the latest findings on these contaminants, together with the important role water plays in their cycling.

Day Tours:
Advance registration is required for all Thursday tours. Attendance on each tour is strictly limited, so registering early is important. Departure times vary (see below), but all Thursday tours will return to Stanford University about 5:00 p.m. Sunglasses and sunscreen are advised. For those looking for some exercise, Kayaking a Coastal Estuary and Restoring the Bay's Edges are your best options. Other tours involve moderate exercise. Sea Otters, Sustainable Seafood and Steinbeck and Green Buildings to Greenbelts tours are best suited for wheelchair accessibility.

Saving the Inland Sea: Fish, Floods and Faucets in the California Delta
6:30 a.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is the largest estuary on the West Coast and arguably the most important water source for California, one of the world's top 10 economies. But it rests on the brink of disaster. Aging levees could collapse in a flood or earthquake, contaminating a water supply that serves 23 million residents and two million acres of farmland. At least five fish species are imperiled by mysterious ecosystem disruptions, from the Delta smelt, a fragile fingerling, to the giant green sturgeon. Sprawl development is putting more people at risk of catastrophic floods and driving water demand ever higher. We'll tour the fish-screen facility that struggles to keep wildlife out of one of the world's largest water export systems, probe water quality challenges in this heavily altered estuary, and board a boat for an intimate look at threatened islands and habitat. Driving time — about 4 hours total. Boat provided by the University of the Pacific.

Our Nation's Salad Bowl: Who Washed the Dishes?
6:45 a.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee
California serves up the bulk of our country's produce, with commercial vegetables traveling an average of 1,500 miles from farm to table. It's lovely to enjoy a Caesar salad in a Manhattan restaurant while a winter Nor'easter blows mightily outside, but at what cost? Peak oil, climate change, food-borne illness, childhood obesity, world trade and more, all connect to dietary choices and food production and distribution. Come with us as we explore California's food system on both a grand and intimate scale and talk with farmers, foodies and scientists about what's working and what needs fixing. We'll even enjoy some of the produce that made the Salinas Valley famous for its bountiful harvests (and E. coli problem) with salads for lunch at a local eatery. Driving time — about 3 hours total.

Tour the Monterey Bay Aquarium and learn from experts about the marine life featured in its exhibits, including jellyfish, bluefin tuna and endangered sea otters. Hear about the aquarium's conservation programs, including its "sustainable seafood choices" wallet cards while bellying up to a sustainable seafood buffet. After lunch, stroll to adjacent tide pools and Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station to hear from scientists about the history and science of the intertidal zone where Ed "Doc" Ricketts collected marine animals and wrote his seminal work, "Between Pacific Tides." The tour will include free time to explore Cannery Row, the cluster of former sardine packing plants made famous by John Steinbeck. Driving time — about 4 hours total.

Kayaking a Coastal Estuary
7:15 a.m. departure, lunch included, $70 fee includes kayak and wetsuit rental
We'll paddle kayaks on Elkhorn Slough north of Monterey to observe sea otters, harbor seals, and sea birds in one of California's largest remaining tidal estuaries. Then we'll walk and talk with marsh experts about the environmental threats to estuaries. Elkhorn, a national marine estuarine research reserve, is safe for those with no kayak experience. Expect modest exercise and to get a little wet on this 2.5-hour-long paddle. Outfitter provides instruction, wetsuits, two-person kayaks, and guides. Short hikes follow lunch at the visitor center. Driving time — about 4 hours total.

Ways of Wind and Wine: Making Energy and Wine Eco-Friendly
7:30 a.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee

The Livermore Valley hosts two industries vital to the California economy: wind power and wine. Come explore the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area, the site of ongoing research into the issue of avian deaths. Built in 1981, it's one of the country's oldest wind projects and — some experts say — the most destructive, killing thousands of protected birds each year in the blades of more than 5,000 turbines. Then head down the hill for lunch and tours of the wine country. California's $17 billion wine business is increasingly looking to sustainable vine-growing and wine-making methods — both for marketing and for boosting wine quality. For a few dollars, you can sample the wines at two wineries. Driving time — about 3 hours total.

Can we log sustainably? If so, how? And what's the latest scoop on the organic food industry? Is it good or bad, for example, that Wal-Mart is getting into the act? The tour will include Santa Cruz redwoods, Big Creek Lumber's redwood sawmill, and an oceanfront organic strawberry farm. We'll discuss trends in the organic farming industry and national timber issues with Under Secretary of Agriculture Mark Rey, who oversees the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, among the speakers.

Hole in the Donut: Environmental Justice in the Heart of Ecotopia
9:00 a.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee
Amid the extraordinary wealth and environmental consciousness ringing San Francisco Bay, two communities at the center of it all suffer in poverty and pollution. The East Bay cities of Richmond and Oakland are the industrial entrepôts for the economy of Northern California and beyond. Both surround the massive Port of Oakland, the nation's fourth largest, which fouls water and air with toxics and exotic creatures and is suspected of causing sharply higher rates of asthma and premature death from other diseases. We'll explore the minority-majority neighborhoods that endure the ceaseless movement of trains, trucks and ships. Then we'll tour the port complex to see how goods are moved across the seas and how port officials plan to clean up their act. Driving time — about 2 hours total.

Green Buildings to Greenbelts: San Francisco Has It All
9:30 a.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee

San Francisco is famous for its cable cars, fog and spectacular vistas. But the City by the Bay also is world renowned in its urban design and open space preserves. Stops will include a large "living roof" under construction at the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, and one of the nation's largest solar-roof installations at the Moscone Convention Center. We'll also visit the Presidio, a former military base turned into one of America's greatest urban national parks, with a wetlands restoration project in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. We'll discuss open space and development issues in the Bay Area, which boasts one of the nation's largest collections of urban wildlands, but also has a critical housing shortage that has helped to produce exorbitant housing prices. Driving time — about 2 hours total.

Restoring the Bay's Edges: Birds and the Bounty of Tidal Marsh
12:00 p.m. departure, lunch included, $30 fee
We'll visit the biggest wetland restoration project on the West Coast, some 15,000 acres of ponds once diked for salt production and now ready to return to tidal marsh. In the southern end of urban San Francisco Bay bounded by Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Oakland, we'll hike to see newly opened wildlife habitat and bay side trails. Scientists will talk about biological benefits, engineering and making room for rising seas. Watch for birds migrating to this spot on the Pacific Flyway. Pelicans, egrets and herons hang out here too. We'll stop by the remnants of the ghost town of Drawbridge. Driving time — about 1.5 hours total.
