EES Publishes; Dr.James Biles on “A Multi-scale Analysis of Urban Warming in Residential Areas of a Latin American City: The Case of Mérida, Mexico”

September 3, 2020September 25, 2020 by Parisa Setayesh

Dr. James Biles of EES and CCNY has just published an article with colleague Dave Lemberg (Western Michigan University): “A Multi-scale Analysis of Urban Warming in Residential Areas of a Latin American City: The Case of Mérida, Mexico” in the Journal of Planning Education and Research. This study represents a novel attempt to analyze the relationship between Latin American city structure and residential-scale ambient temperatures. Using statistical analysis, we assess the relationship between the type of residential zone, vegetation coverage, and housing and lot characteristics and ambient temperatures in residential areas of a large, subtropical city. We find lower temperatures …

Although states are now less likely to grant permanent legal status, they are increasingly issuing new temporary and provisional legal statuses …

Prof. Cary Karacas on NPR: “75 Years On, Remember Hiroshima And Nagasaki. But Remember Toyama Too”

August 3, 2020September 26, 2020 by Parisa Setayesh

On the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, EES faculty, Dr. Cary Karacas (CSI) and his colleague Dr. David Fedman, published an op-ed on the National Public Radio website, discussing their research and bilingual digital archive. “With the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings upon us, we would do well to retrieve the burning of Toyama from the margins of public memory. For too long, scholarly predilections and public fascination with the atomic bomb have divorced the mushroom clouds from the firestorms that preceded them. Rather than a sideshow to the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on …

As oceanographers, and more broadly as Earth scientists, we know that our planet has a fascinating story to tell, one that is full of an amazing array of interconnected facets. What language does it speak? How do we connect students to this story under normal educational circumstances? How about in the middle of …

EES publishes: Dr.Brian Brigham publishes study on Anthropogenic inputs from a coastal megacity’s link to greenhouse gas concentrations in the surrounding estuary

Professor Coch of Queens College and EES has a new sole authored article out now in the Journal of Coastal Research entitled: Forensic Analysis of the 1893 “New York City” Hurricane: Implications for the Future. Abstract: Examination of an offshore-replenished beach in New York City in 1995 revealed that it contained anthropogenic debris from the distant past. Dating of the debris determined that the archeological items were deposited from a category 1 hurricane that made landfall in New York City on the nights of 23–24 August 1893. This “midnight storm” caused great damage in spite of its relatively low category …

Congratulations to our very own Dr. John Marra (EES, Brooklyn College and GC) on the publication of his new book! Marra, John F. 2019. Hot Carbon: Carbon-14 and a Revolution in Science (New York: Columbia University Press). “There are few fields of science that carbon-14 has not touched. A radioactive isotope of carbon, it stands out for its unusually long half-life. Best known for its application to estimating the age of artifacts—carbon dating—carbon-14 helped reveal new chronologies of human civilization and geological time. Everything containing carbon, the basis of all life, could be placed in time according to the clock …
