Biographical Information

Richard is an Emeritus Member of the Faculty, The Evergreen State College, where he taught for 27 years and was Director of the graduate program in Environmental Studies before retiring to Prescott and becoming involved with Presot College's Master of Arts Program in Environmental Studes (MAP–ES). He previously was on the botany faculty of The University of Michigan.

Richard has been an active volunteer with the Sierra Club for over 30 years, including two years as its national president. He is also active with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is currently Vice Chair for North America for IUCN's Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP). His current interests focus on global environmental sustainability.

  Richard has a broad range of teaching interests, including all aspects of environmental studies-particularly ecological principles and environmental history, philosophy, and policy-plant physiology, technical writing, biological energetics and statistics.

There are two teaching tools that I have created that students may find useful:

1. "Basic Statics for Environmental Studies: A Distance Learning Course" covers the basic concepts and tools of descriptive and inferential Statistics.  It can be accessed at two different sites:
   1. My personal website at http://myweb.cableone.net/rcellarius/Statistics/
   2. Prescot College's Moodle site at http://moodle.prescott.edu/course/view.php?id=316 . For this site you will need to have Moodle access and the enrollment key for the course, which you can obtain by e-mailing me at the aove address.
2. "Richard's Guide: On Writing; Writing Research Reports; On Speaking" outlines and highlights some of the important considerations for writing and presenting seminar and library research papers and talks that I found I wanted to repeat over and over again to my students in my 40 years of teaching. At the moment is only available on my personal website at http://myweb.cableone.net/rcellarius/RsGuide/
