Using Phytotechnologies To Remediate Brownfields, Landfills, And Other Urban Areas, Ronald S. Zalesny Jr, Jill A. Zalesny
Using Phytotechnologies To Remediate Brownfields, Landfills, And Other Urban Areas, Ronald S. Zalesny Jr, Jill A. Zalesny
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban areas requiring remedial work has prompted the use of phytotechnologies to improve water quality, soil health, and biodiversity, as well as to achieve sustainable social and economic goals. Phytotechnologies directly use plants to clean up contaminated groundwater, soil, and sediment. While woody and herbaceous crops are candidates for such remediation systems, trees within the genera Populus (poplars, cottonwoods, aspens) and Salix (willows) are ideal given their fast growth, extensive root systems, and elevated rates of photosynthesis and transpiration. The genetic diversity within these genera substantially increases the establishment and growth potential across heterogeneous sites. We have tested these trees …
Human Health & Well-Being: Evidence For An Expanded Framework Of Ecosystem Services In Cities, Kathleen L. Wolf
Human Health & Well-Being: Evidence For An Expanded Framework Of Ecosystem Services In Cities, Kathleen L. Wolf
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Scientific research across recent decades has provided evidence of the broad array of benefits provided by urban greening. "Ecosystem services" is a concept that provides a framework for understanding and strategically generating nature based functions and benefits. Several classifications of ecosystem services have been proposed (including the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). Within the urban context, environmental benefits and services are becoming better understood and more recognized. Unfortunately, human health and well being (HHWB) benefits are often reduced to a simple matter of aesthetics in public dialog. A comprehensive research literature review and summary is being prepared to serve as a …
Restoring Native Plant And Pollinator Communities On New York City Green Roofs, Melanie C. Smith, Matthew I. Palmer
Restoring Native Plant And Pollinator Communities On New York City Green Roofs, Melanie C. Smith, Matthew I. Palmer
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban development has dramatically decreased habitat for native plants and other wildlife. One of the native insect groups affected by this change are the bees and wasps (Order: Hymenoptera), which provide valuable ecosystem services like pollination of crops and ornamental plants. These insects are experiencing rapid population declines in urbanizing areas. A major obstacle to restoring pollinator populations in cities is the scarcity of space available that can be managed as habitat. A potential solution to this is to create patches of native vegetation on green roofs. Green roofs consist of live plants, growing media, and a drainage layer on …

Assessing Survival On Milliontreesnyc Reforestation Sites, Brady L. Simmons
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
The City of New York Parks & Recreation’s (Parks) Natural Resources Group (NRG) is leading a large scale, citywide reforestation effort as part of the MillionTreesNYC goal to plant 450,000 trees in parks across the city. The reforestation monitoring study was developed as one tool to test the success of the reforestation efforts. This study addresses the basic survivability and health of the trees since planting began in the fall of 2007. This study captured the container trees planted by In house staff, volunteer groups, and contractors.
What Is Urban Environmental Stewardship? Working Toward A Practitioner-Derived Definition In Seattle, Michele Romolini, Weston Brinkley, Kathleen Wolf
What Is Urban Environmental Stewardship? Working Toward A Practitioner-Derived Definition In Seattle, Michele Romolini, Weston Brinkley, Kathleen Wolf
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
While “stewardship” is often used to describe environmental improvement efforts, it is difficult to find an agreed upon definition of the term. Current research examines stewardship programs, activities, networks, and outcomes. A comprehensive definition should take into account the perspectives of all stakeholders. Practitioners and project managers have particularly direct experiences of stewardship, however little has been done to determine how they define the term and its implementation. Establishing a shared concept of stewardship is essential to further research, and the intent of this preliminary study is to begin to develop a definition. Researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with representatives of …
Community Gardens: An Exploration Of Urban Agriculture In The Bronx, New York City, Michelle Ma Ottmann, Juliana A. Maantay, Kristen Grady, Nerio A. Cardoso, Nilce N. Fonte
Community Gardens: An Exploration Of Urban Agriculture In The Bronx, New York City, Michelle Ma Ottmann, Juliana A. Maantay, Kristen Grady, Nerio A. Cardoso, Nilce N. Fonte
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Urban agriculture/community gardening in the Bronx has multiple roles, including health-promoting, economic, environmental, and cultural. These roles are particularly important in light of urban sustainability issues and environmental justice concerns, such as differential access to open space, recreation, and fresh produce in poorer communities and communities of color, as well as differential environmental and health impacts of unsustainable practices on these communities. The gardens generally help promote a sense of place - a focus for communities - which often have little access to safe parks or recreational space within their neighborhoods, and create a center for community cultural and educational …
Diversity And Conservation Of Butterflies In The New York City Metropolitan Area, Kevin C. Matteson, Nell Roberts
Diversity And Conservation Of Butterflies In The New York City Metropolitan Area, Kevin C. Matteson, Nell Roberts
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Butterflies are charismatic microfauna that provide opportunities for humans living in urbanized landscapes to directly experience biodiversity. However, very little has been published on which butterfly species currently persist in densely populated urban landscapes, such as the New York City metropolitan area. As a first step towards conservation of butterflies in this heavily populated landscape, we analyzed data on butterfly sightings in the five boroughs of New York City and adjacent counties from January 2001 to November 2009. In total, we compiled 12,732 reported sightings (5822 from within NYC limits) representing 106 butterfly species (87 from within NYC limits) that …
Design In Urban In Ecology, Victoria J. Marshall
Design In Urban In Ecology, Victoria J. Marshall
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Social ecologists, economists and epidemiologists note that systems are ‘leaky’ particularly at the stage of reorganization, therefore for long term research, the challenge is not to gather information over time but rather, to measure in time, particularly with relation to collective memory and lagged effects. Similarly art and design research with an ecosystem approach has seen a shift in attention from a subject’s location in space toward an understanding of the subject being duration in time. These drawings explore various experiments into this approach at Parsons the New School for Design in 2009 and 2010. Consciously seeking alternatives to geographical …
Sustainable Urban Forest Management Planning Using Criteria And Indicators, W Andrew Kenny, Philip J. Van Wassenaer, Alexander Satel
Sustainable Urban Forest Management Planning Using Criteria And Indicators, W Andrew Kenny, Philip J. Van Wassenaer, Alexander Satel
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
This poster discusses how Criteria and Indicators (C&I) for success in sustainable urban forest management, first outlined by Clark et al. (1997), can be successfully applied as tools to improve Strategic Urban Forest Management planning. It presents updates and modifications to the original tables, developed by van Wassenaer, Kenney and Satel (in press) to improve their application in strategic planning. A case study demonstrates how C&I were used to evaluate current management practices in the Town of Oakville, Ontario. This poster also outlines the strategic planning framework used in the preparation of the Oakville Plan, and presents it as a …
Evaluation Of The Stormwater Capture Potential Of New York City Soils: Implications Of Infiltration Rate Variability On Urban Runoff Predictions, Kimberly A. Digiovanni, Franco Montalto, Alisha Goldstein
Evaluation Of The Stormwater Capture Potential Of New York City Soils: Implications Of Infiltration Rate Variability On Urban Runoff Predictions, Kimberly A. Digiovanni, Franco Montalto, Alisha Goldstein
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
The properties used to characterize soils and, more specifically, those that are used to describe the rate at which water infiltrates into them, are key parameters in most rainfall-runoff models. Because these parameters are known to be highly variable, they are a known source of uncertainty in our ability to predict runoff from pervious surfaces. The goals of this study were to a) characterize the heterogeneity in soil and infiltration characteristics in specific types of pervious surfaces found in New York City, and b) to study the potential effect of this heterogeneity on prediction of the total volume and peak …
The Urbis Partnership Proposal For Global Designation, Christine Alfsen, Laura C. Dickinson, Keith G. Tidball
The Urbis Partnership Proposal For Global Designation, Christine Alfsen, Laura C. Dickinson, Keith G. Tidball
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
The URBIS Partnership is proposing a designation process to recognize urban regions’ efforts to engage in participatory, inclusive, and comprehensive approaches in urban planning for sustainability. Through this process, sustainable management practices would be developed and then cataloged for sharing and dissemination as part of a site-based global knowledge network. The URBIS Partnership is inviting expertise in fields including urban ecology, environmental education, policy, and urban planning to develop this process. Currently, urban regions involved include Stockholm, Montreal, Shanghai, Cape Town, Chicago, Istanbul, New Orleans, and New York. This effort will culminate in the establishment of the URBIS Partnership with …

Does Entropic Gravity Bound The Masses Of The Photon And Graviton?, Jonas R. Mureika, R. B. Mann
Does Entropic Gravity Bound The Masses Of The Photon And Graviton?, Jonas R. Mureika, R. B. Mann
Physics Faculty Works
If the information transfer between test particle and holographic screen in entropic gravity respects both the uncertainty principle and causality, a lower limit on the number of bits in the universe relative to its mass may be derived. Furthermore, these limits indicate particles that putatively travel at the speed of light -- the photon and/or graviton -- have a non-zero mass m≥10−68 kg. This result is found to be in excellent agreement with current experimental mass bounds on the graviton and photon, suggesting that entropic gravity may be the result of a (recent) softly-broken local symmetry. Stronger bounds emerge …

Reducing Alcohol Risk In Adjudicated Male College Students: Further Validation Of A Group Motivational Enhancement Intervention, Joseph W. Labrie, Jessica Cail, Eric R. Pedersen, Savannah Migliuri
Reducing Alcohol Risk In Adjudicated Male College Students: Further Validation Of A Group Motivational Enhancement Intervention, Joseph W. Labrie, Jessica Cail, Eric R. Pedersen, Savannah Migliuri
Heads Up!
This study examined the effectiveness of a single-session group motivational enhancement alcohol intervention on adjudicated male college students. Over two sequential academic years, 230 students sanctioned by the university for alcohol-related infractions attended a 60- to 75-minute group intervention. The intervention consisted of a timeline followback, social norms education, decisional balance for behavioral change, blood alcohol content (BAC) information, expectancy challenge, and generation of behavioral goals. Participants were followed weekly for three months and showed reductions in drinking (29%) and alcohol-related consequences (32%) at three-month follow-up. The intervention was successful in reducing drinking for both first-year students and upperclassmen, with …
Sexual Experience And Risky Alcohol Consumption Among Incoming First-Year College Females, Joseph W. Labrie, Shannon R. Kenney, Savannah Millbury, Andrew Lac
Sexual Experience And Risky Alcohol Consumption Among Incoming First-Year College Females, Joseph W. Labrie, Shannon R. Kenney, Savannah Millbury, Andrew Lac
Heads Up!
This study examines the relationship between sexual experience and various drinking measures in 550 incoming first-year college females. During this transition period, sexually experienced participants reported stronger alcohol expectancies and endorsed higher drinking motives, and drank more frequently and in greater quantities than sexually inexperienced participants. Sexual status was also a significant predictor of alcohol-related nonsexual consequences, over and above amount consumed. Furthermore, controlling for drinking, sexual status moderated the relationship between coping motives and consequences. Among women who endorsed strong coping motives for drinking, sexual experience was linked to greater nonsexual alcohol-related consequences. Implications for prevention and intervention are …

Factors Associated With General And Sexual Alcohol-Related Consequences: An Examination Of College Students Studying Abroad, Justin F. Hummer, Eric R. Pedersen, Tehniat Mirza, Joseph W. Labrie
Heads Up!
This study contributes to the scarce research on U.S. college students studying abroad by documenting general and sexual negative alcohol-related risks and factors associated with such risk. The manner of drinking (quantity vs. frequency), predeparture expectations surrounding alcohol use while abroad, culture-related social anxiety, and perceived disparity between home and host cultures differentially predicted consequences abroad. The findings include important implications for student affairs professionals in developing study abroad–specific interventions and resources to maintain student well-being while abroad.
Recognition Of Posed And Spontaneous Dynamic Smiles In Younger And Older Adults, Nora A. Murphy, Jonathan M. Lehrfeld, Derek M. Isaacowitz
Recognition Of Posed And Spontaneous Dynamic Smiles In Younger And Older Adults, Nora A. Murphy, Jonathan M. Lehrfeld, Derek M. Isaacowitz
Psychological Science Faculty Works
In two studies, we investigated age effects in the ability to recognize dynamic posed and spontaneous smiles. Study 1 found that both younger and older adult participants were above-chance in their ability to distinguish between posed and spontaneous younger adult smiles. Study 2 found that younger adult participant performance declined when judging a combination of both younger and older adult target smiles, while older adult participants outperformed younger adult participants in distinguishing between posed and spontaneous smiles. A synthesis of results across the two studies showed a small-to-medium age effect (d = −0.40) suggesting an older adult advantage when …

Design For Success: New Configurations And Governance Models For Catholic Schools, Regina M. Haney
Journal of Catholic Education
The 2008 Selected Programs for Improving Catholic Education (SPICE), a national diffusion network, shares school configurations and related governance models that may improve the sustainability of Catholic schools. This article describes how these model schools are successfully addressing their challenges. The structure and authority of their respective boards and the shifts in boards nationwide are an important ingredient of changes that must be considered.
Spiritual Vs. Religious: Perspectives From Today's Undergraduate Catholics, Dawn V. Overstreet
Spiritual Vs. Religious: Perspectives From Today's Undergraduate Catholics, Dawn V. Overstreet
Journal of Catholic Education
Contemporary American college students simultaneously express both increased interest in spirituality and declining interest in traditional religion. Recent research recognizes the trend of young adults separating spirituality from religion, but utilizes varied definitions of each term developed by the researchers. This study asks students directly whether and how they differentiate spirituality from religion. The purpose of this article is to examine how undergraduate Catholics attending a Catholic university conceive of themselves as spiritual or religious and the differences, if any, between the two descriptors. The perspectives of 20 young adults of various programs of study and self-described degrees of spirituality …

School Sector, School Poverty, And The Catholic School Advantage, Maureen T. Hallinan, Warren N. Kubitschek
School Sector, School Poverty, And The Catholic School Advantage, Maureen T. Hallinan, Warren N. Kubitschek
Journal of Catholic Education
Equality of educational opportunity is threatened by long-standing gaps in student achievement by race, gender, and student poverty, as well as by school sector and school poverty. The true magnitude of these gaps cannot be understood, however, unless these factors are considered simultaneously. While accounting for the effects of demographic characteristics, this article focuses on the effects of school sector and school poverty on gains in academic achievement. Analyses from a longitudinal study of public and Catholic middle school students in and around the city of Chicago show that neither the public nor Catholic sector has a consistent advantage in …

In Service Of Mission: Assessing Catholic School Guidance Counselors, Robert J. Murray, Kristy S. Kane
Journal of Catholic Education
Catholic schools are set apart from public schools in that Catholic schools aim to create for the school community an atmosphere enlivened by the Gospel spirit of freedom and charity. Those who serve in Catholic schools, therefore, need to understand their role as unique, that is, faith driven. The purpose of this study was to assess this uniqueness as understood and practiced by Catholic school counselors. The findings of this study note positive trends among Catholic school counselors, particularly in terms of academic preparation and training as well as some incorporation of Catholic identity and mission into their ministry with …
