Title A name given to the resource Standing Biomass in Campus Trees Subject The topic of the resource Standing Biomass Description An account of the resource In this project, I am focusing on estimating the standing biomass in large campus trees due to prolonged debates about maintaining, tending, and protecting large campus trees for reasons including aesthetic values, carbon storage, other ecological values, and risks of potential safety issues. To assist the Vassar Climate Action Plan and provide clarity of the carbon storage of the trees that will largely facilitate the debate and actions, I conducted a study to evaluate carbon storage and record conditions of large campus trees.

Title A name given to the resource Affects of Oyster Reef Restoration on NYC Harbor Water Quality Subject The topic of the resource GEOG-220 Final Project Description An account of the resource The Billion Oyster Project was founded in 2014 with the initiative to engage New Yorkers in native oyster reef restoration, which had been functionally extinct in New York Harbor since 1927 due to overharvesting and pollution. In 2016, they began installing reefs around the Harbor, amounting to 17 sites today. Oysters are natural water filters, taking in up to 50 gallons a day and trapping various pollutants. This project compares water quality over time to the presence of oyster reefs to determine their efficacy in restoring water quality.

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 Change in Population by Gender in the UK 1921-2021 Subject The topic of the resource GEOG-220 Final Project Description An account of the resource During the First World War, the United Kingdom created so-called “Pals Battalions” formed from groups of men living in the north of England; these battalions were, with little training and very little combat experience, sent into the frontlines at, among many others, the Battle of the Somme, where the British suffered the heaviest losses incurred by the Royal Armed Forces in one day, at around 49,000 men lost. As a result, entire towns in the north of Britain had their entire populations of men wiped out. This chart shows the UK Census taken after both World Wars, and what the current ratios of women to men are in each country.
