The Paper Trail: Paper Use And Disposal At The University Of Rhode Island, Katherine Modzelewski
The Paper Trail: Paper Use And Disposal At The University Of Rhode Island, Katherine Modzelewski
Senior Honors Projects
The University of Rhode Island has a well-established recycling program, however, the university community does not make full and proper use of the services and facilities provided. This project will specifically look at the use and disposal of paper products that are used for business and educational purposes at the University of Rhode Island and the effects these practices have both up- and down-stream. This analysis will be accomplished by examining the source and disposal of these university-used paper products through interviews with knowledgeable individuals, including those with oversight on the ordering, management, and disposal of professional paper products, a …
Importance Of Early Successional Forest For Wildlife In Southern New England, Amy Wynia
Importance Of Early Successional Forest For Wildlife In Southern New England, Amy Wynia
Senior Honors Projects
Many bird species that require early successional forest are declining in the Northeast U.S. because such habitat is relatively rare and when they inhabit the more common mature forests or suburban areas they are less successful. Early successional forest is maintained by regular disturbance (wind, fire, clear-cutting, and flooding) which has been happening less frequently during the past 50 years. Bird species that have declined during this time and which inhabit early successional forest include ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), chestnut-sided warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica), gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), field sparrow (Spizella pusilla), golden-winged warbler (Vermivora chrysoptera), eastern …
Nitrogen Loading From Wastewater Treatment Plants To Upper Narragansett Bay, Donald Pryor, Emily Saarman, David Murray, Warren Prell
Nitrogen Loading From Wastewater Treatment Plants To Upper Narragansett Bay, Donald Pryor, Emily Saarman, David Murray, Warren Prell
Narragansett Bay Collection
Increasing awareness of low-oxygen conditions in Narragansett Bay, as well as other
symptoms of eutrophication such as macroalgae accumulation, eelgrass failure, and fish
kills, has led to management actions to reduce nitrogen loads to the upper Bay

This document contains data tables, maps, plots, and documentation on Brown
University’s Narragansett Bay Sediment Project compiled by David W. Murray, Brown
University, for the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission with
support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The data were compiled and
analyzed as part of a New England pilot project exploring the development of a
biological condition gradient applicable to estuarine systems.
