New York Raptors

Raptors such as hawks and falcons are capable of surviving well in urban environments, including urban parks. But, some urban parks are likely to yield greater numbers of hawks and falcons than others, and we wanted to find out which ones and why.

The Effect of Household Income on Street Tree Diversity: A Close Look at Four Brooklyn Neighborhoods

we would like to find out whether tree diversity is similar across a subset of four neighborhoods in Brooklyn which differ significantly with regard to the median household income of the residents therein. This is important because trees provide crucial ecosystem services such as filtering air particles and keeping streets cool (Willis and Petrokofsky, 2017). We are interested in exploring the relationship between median household income and tree diversity because tree diversity is important to neighborhood health and quality of life.

Afrofuturism and its Impact on Art

My presentation was about Afrofuturism and the impacts it has had on art. In this presentation I analyzed various works from artist Kehinde Wiley through an afrofuturist lens, and addressed the revolutionary way in which Wiley reshapes the past using aspects of the present to speculate towards a hopeful future for black people across the diaspora.

New York Raptors

Raptors, or birds of prey, are apex predators in the wild. For birds that live in the city, you would think more about pigeons and sparrows than you would hawks and falcons, but these raptors are surprisingly adaptable, and have established healthy populations in New York City, especially urban parks. What is it that allows them to survive? Which parks are the best for sustaining healthy numbers of hawks and falcons?

This past year the forest fires in Canada and the extreme rain in September got us all thinking about air pollution and rainfall. Particles in the air form nuclei for clouds to condense around. In light of this connection, this is an investigation into the correlation between air pollution and rainfall.
