Title A name given to the resource 2018 Fish Migration on the Connecticut River Subject The topic of the resource GEOG-220 Final Project Description An account of the resource There are many species of fish that travel up the Connecticut River as part of their life cycle. This map focuses on the American Shad, Sea Lamprey, Alewife, and Atlantic Salmon which are anadromous, as well as the American Eel which is catadromous. Many dams have been built along the river and surrounding tributaries, therefore hindering the migration of these species, and preventing them from reaching their natural habitats. However, with the addition of fish ladders, elevators, and eel passageways, work is being done to restore these species' native migration ranges.

Title A name given to the resource A Future Heating Plan for Vassar College Subject The topic of the resource Heating Systems Description An account of the resource New York experiences cold winters, and campus buildings generally require heating from October through early May. Heating is a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions at Vassar, so this report is focused on finding ways to decrease the impact of campus heating. It will address four projects that can help Vassar decrease the climate change impact of heating on campus and work towards the 2030 goal. These projects include the installation of radiator covers in steam heated buildings, switching to renewable fuel oil in the campus central plant, installing air source heat pumps in some campus buildings, and investigating the use of hybrid solar panels on the future Athletic Center. These four projects will help Vassar accomplish the goals set out in the Climate Action Plan.
