Title A name given to the resource Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration: A Conceptual Framework for Community-Engaged Resource Management Subject The topic of the resource Community Engagement in Ecosystem Restoration Description An account of the resource "My senior thesis explores community engagement with ecosystem restoration through the lens of oyster reef restoration. Drawing on connections from my personal and professional experiences, I used the Martha’s Vineyard Shellfish Group and Billion Oyster Project as case studies—both organizations that restore wild oyster reefs and conduct impactful community engagement. In addition to my literature review, my research centered on the qualitative data I collected in interviews with leaders and employees at each organization. Comparing the strategies of these two organizations and existing case studies, I identified key differences and similarities in successes and failures in various approaches to community engagement. Over the course of my research, I came to understand the complex web of relationships entangled by resource management. Conversely, I found that the prevailing construction of humans as distinct from the environment has been used to legitimize conceptions of science and scientific endeavors isolated from human subjectivities. Both the Shellfish Group and Billion Oyster Project demonstrate different ways of being in relation to human and nonhuman communities alike, informing my frameworks, which aim to encourage more equitable and meaningful collaboration between scientists, communities, government, and all other implicated groups. Today, I am going to share with you some lessons learned from these organizations and different approaches to answering my research question: How can aquatic ecosystems serve as positive models for fresh discourses on sociality, informing changes to our inter-community and inter-species relationships and approaches to ecosystem restoration?"

Title A name given to the resource Ashfall Risks in Alaska's Aleutian Islands and Cook Inlet Subject The topic of the resource GEOG-220 Final Project Description An account of the resource The increased seismic activity in the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula raises many concerns about possible eruptions in Alaska in the future. The volcanoes in Alaska are active, having mostly ash-based, effusive eruptions. The ash of Alaskan volcanoes affects air travel more than anything, with the ash getting into engines and obscuring the windows. Due to Alaska’s lack of roads and its many islands, air travel is one of the main modes of transportation for the state. Alaska also has a very busy airspace, as the state serves commercial, military, and personal flights. There are two major groups of volcanoes: the Cook Inlet (Spurr, Redoubt, Augustine, Trident) and Aleutian Islands (Great Sitkin, Cleveland, Okmok, Majushin, Shishaldin). The Cook Inlet group in particular hosts many National Parks as well as many highly populated areas of the state, so many Alaskans will not be affected by pyroclastic flow or lahars, but are more likely to be affected by ashfall.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing Volcanic Hazard Risk in Nicaragua Subject The topic of the resource GEOG-220 Final Project Description An account of the resource In Nicaragua, natural disasters are somewhat dispersed throughout the country, but seem to be more prevalent on the western half. In this region, there is a significant amount of current and recent volcanism along the Central America Volcanic Arc. More recent (in the last 500 years) eruptions from these volcanoes has been reported to result in ash plumes that have drifted hundreds of kilometers. The spread of natural disasters across Nicaragua could indicate the experience that a given department has in dealing with issues similar to volcanic eruptions.
