Scientist Profile: Clinton Epps
With funding from a National Science Foundation grant, I traveled to Mojave National Preserve along the border of California and Nevada to profile Dr. Clinton Epps and his research on big horned sheep populations. Dr. Epps has been focusing on the effects desert highways have on sheep populations, as road traffic decreases the amount of sheep crossing from one mountain range to another.
This video profile of Dr. Epps is part of an ecology curriculum for teachers of grades 7-9. Its goal is to advance understanding of basic science and fundamental ecological principles and support schools in achieving national and state ecology standards by using engaging media.
I produced/shot/edited this video November 2009.
