- [Rich] Hi, and welcome to
our course on biodiversity. My name's Rich Mooi, and
I'm curator of invertebrate zoology and geology at the
California Academy of Sciences. Exploring, explaining and
sustaining biodiversity is at the core of the mission
of the California Academy of Sciences, and these
tutorials are a wonderful way to share our course with you
wherever you are on our planet. You can learn more about the
structure and the content of the course by reading
the welcome materials and, of course, watching the
tutorial videos themselves. We've tried to make each
topic stand on its own so that you can visit them
in any order that you like. Much like visiting
islands in an archipelago. The educational and
supplementary materials accompanying the videos are developed to enhance the quality of your visits. We hope you'll enjoy all your expeditions throughout the archipelago.
