191 - Renewal of the Arboretum Kiosk 1
Get PDFThe purpose of this project is to create a resource for those who visit the Spencer J. Roemer Arboretum, a natural area preserved on the south side of campus. The information on the entrance kiosk has not been updated since 2013. By renewing the kiosk at the front of the Arboretum, visitors will have easy access to updated information including a trail map, trail conditions, native and invasive species, potentially harmful species, trail etiquette, and the history and purpose of the Arboretum. In the fall, we did extensive research on nature interpretation and the parts of the kiosk that required visual and informational renewal. We collected previous map files and integrated these with new GIS layers of an arboretum trail map on QGIS, while experimenting with symbology and readability. We also gathered information on the Arboretum’s ecosystems and biodiversity from professors, events, and online sources. Key species were selected, along with photographs and the appropriate information for each. Furthermore, we looked into past and present research projects, management efforts, and resources such as iNaturalist and trail cameras. Sustainability in higher education is a value of SUNY Geneseo. In understanding how to protect and preserve our planet, environmental education is key. As a hotspot for student research as well as a natural space for mindful recreation, the Arboretum offers a variety of uses. Our map is important for visitor safety and accessibility, and an updated narrative on the history and ecology is both engaging and educational for visitors
169 - Knights’ Harvest Pantry: SUNY Geneseo\u27s On-Campus Food Pantry
Get PDFKnights’ Harvest Pantry (previously known as The Pantry at Geneseo) is a recent addition to the SUNY Geneseo campus, beginning operation only as recently as 2021. On the Geneseo campus, students are finding that they are having issues securing food to sustain themselves on a weekly basis. Addressing this issue should be a top priority on campus, as student’s who are food insecure tend to have a lower graduation rate and are less likely to obtain an undergraduate degree. Through funding provided through grants from the SUNY system, our team looked to increase the number of pantry users, increase the space available for Knights’ Harvest and locate a reliable food source for an increasing number of users. Our poster aims to summarize how we as student coordinators achieved these goals and discuss our efforts in fighting food insecurity
004 - Accurate Gravitational Wave Calculations from the Regge-Wheeler Equation in the Time Domain
Get PDFWe calculated the energy flux emitted by an extreme mass-ratio inspiral. To do this, we solved the Regge-Wheeler equation using the method of lines and numerically integrating; a fourth-order finite difference method was used to increase accuracy. We represented the source by enforcing a jump condition across an internal boundary. We also made use of a hyperboloidal slicing and compactification scheme, based on the work of Thornburg and Wardell (2017). With a fourth-order finite difference method and exact compactified boundary conditions, we hope to achieve results that are among the most accurate time domain calculations
Sea Turtles Sex & Survival
Get PDFSea turtles support the tourism industry in Playa Grande, Costa Rica. The expense of protecting the turtles against climate change is a challenge to saving the sea turtles
The Sustainable Development of Rehabilitation
Get PDFPeople who have recovered from disease or injury benefit from rehabilitation practices. This has the benefit of directing people away from energy hungry hospitals to more environmentally efficient locations. It also helps prevent the return of patients to the hospital
Writing Climate Change: Science Knowledge in Creative Forms; Part One: Understanding Science Stories
Get PDFThis lesson explores how a short creative piece by Ada Limón, U.S. Poet Laureate, draws on climate science knowledge to engage readers informationally, imaginatively, and emotionally. Students will reflect through discussion and/or writing on both the scientific methodology and the questions of equity and justice her poem raises. Finally, students will engage in a guided writing prompt where they research science knowledge around climate change and use what they find to shape their own short creative pieces (100-300 words), based in that science
