Secondhand Shopping Is Now The Coolest Way To Get Your Clothes, Camryn Quick
Capstones
Shopping secondhand has experienced an uptick in popularity in the past few years. There are a few reasons for this, all of which are examined in the project. One reason for the increase in secondhand shoppers is the daunting news about the state of our environment. Another reason, perhaps even more powerful than the fear of environmental collapse, is that thrifting has become a fashion phenomenon showcased and distributed throughout social media apps like TikTok. Essentially, shopping secondhand has become cool. This project explores these driving forces behind the thrifting boom, as well as the possible impacts, including "thrift store …

Phenomenological Study On Female Engineering Leaders In The New York Utility Industry, Shelanda Gonsalves
Phenomenological Study On Female Engineering Leaders In The New York Utility Industry, Shelanda Gonsalves
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
This qualitative phenomenological study explored the development of women with an engineering background who became leaders. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of female engineering leaders in the New York utility sector. The research problem was why few women with engineering degrees obtain leadership positions. Women comprise half the total working population, yet few hold leadership positions, especially in the utility sector. In this study, 28 women in the New York utility sector shared experiences on their progression from engineer to leadership. The conceptual framework was the Moustakas phenomenological approach, investigating the humanistic properties of …
Old Tools, New View : Utilizing Species Distribution Models To Focus Conservation Efforts Under A Changing Climate, Samantha Hoff
Old Tools, New View : Utilizing Species Distribution Models To Focus Conservation Efforts Under A Changing Climate, Samantha Hoff
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In New York State, scientists have observed many changes in bird communities including population declines, range contractions, mismatch between behavior and resources, and changes in bird phenology as a result of climatic changes. Four objectives were addressed with this research: understanding how different bird species may respond to changing climatic conditions under a future IPCC emission scenario; determining how suitable habitat may change in the future and what bioclimatic variables are important to specific avian guilds; identifying hotspots of suitable habitat that may represent important areas for conservation investment; and investigating how managers can incorporate future climate predictions into management …
Biology And Ecology Of Lake Sturgeon Acipenser Fulvescens In The Grasse River, New York, Drew Trested
Biology And Ecology Of Lake Sturgeon Acipenser Fulvescens In The Grasse River, New York, Drew Trested
All Dissertations
The objectives of this dissertation were to (1) evaluate the age, growth, mortality, and abundance of lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens in the Grasse River, New York; (2) characterize seasonal movement patterns and mesohabitat use for adult and juvenile lake sturgeon in the Grasse River, New York; and (3) quantify the immediate and delayed post-procedure mortality for shovelnose sturgeon after insertion of an endoscope through an incision. I determined age for 196 of 211 lake sturgeon by examination of sectioned pectoral fin rays. Ages ranged from 0 -32 years and the annual mortality rate for fish between ages 7 and 14 …
Short-Term Effects Of Bulkheads On The Bayshore Of Fire Island, New York, Dipanjali Chavan
Short-Term Effects Of Bulkheads On The Bayshore Of Fire Island, New York, Dipanjali Chavan
Theses
Construction of bulkheads as a method of shore protection is common on the bay shoreline of Fire Island, New York but there are few studies that assess the effects of these structures on beach change in estuarine and lagoon environments. A short-term field study was conducted at Cherry Grove on Fire Island to assess the effect of a bulkhead on the fronting profile and to the adjacent beaches on the east side of the bulkhead. Data on winds, waves, and currents were gathered daily at high water. Data on profile change and depth of sediment activation were gathered at low …
