Title A name given to the resource Geese Population Effects on Water Quality Subject The topic of the resource water quality Description An account of the resource Balance in ecosystems is both crucial and fragile. When one species experiences population flux, others change in response. Often, dramatic population change can lead to permanent alteration of ecosystems. Human activity is a major driving force in these changes. Infrastructure, chemical use, and other practices can decrease certain populations, which leads to subsequent disruption in other species. In Poughkeepsie, the Canada goose is one such species that is currently overpopulated, possibly due to endangerment of predator groups. They have a resident population in many of Vassar College’s water bodies. Because of their unprecedented eco-systemic prevalence, the geese put the rest of these water bodies’ balance under stress; when a large group of geese settles in one region, their fecal matter can be especially dangerous for the nutrient levels of that region’s water. High nutrient contamination can cause harmful algal blooms that block out sunlight and decrease dissolved oxygen content. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the high Canada goose population impacts nutrient levels, organic matter content, and overall water quality of Vassar College’s ponds and lakes.

Title A name given to the resource Underprepared and Overburdened: Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans Subject The topic of the resource natural disaster Description An account of the resource Hurricane Katrina, the deadliest and costliest hurricane in U.S. history since 1928, devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. Claiming over 1,500 lives, predominantly in New Orleans, the storm inflicted an estimated $70 billion in damages to the city alone (NOAA 2005). While the demographic profile of the deceased largely mirrored the city’s population, historical patterns of land development and racial segregation concentrated Black residents in low-lying areas, leading to a significant and disproportionate displacement of this population (Fussell et al. 2010).
