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.
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.
Our project highlights some student groups in the United States and around the world who are doing everything they can to lower carbon emissions and end the fight against Climate Injustice.
Brooklyn College has been recognized as one of the many diverse campuses along with titles such as “Best Value College” from Princeton Review. With our vast assortment of students, student body, faculty, etc., we must consider our contribution and initiatives toward reducing carbon emissions.
Our focus for Campus As A Lab is to present concrete action plans that are sufficient and effective and will benefit both the campus and the interconnected student life.
Bees are a vital part to our ecosystem, so understanding how their population differs around Brooklyn is crucial for the future!
Research Question: How do eyelid thickness and coloration correlate with vitamin A levels in wild vs. captive freshwater turtle populations?
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.

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?
