Professor Gillian Stewart of EES and Queens College coauthored a paper entitled, “Temporal variability of dissolved iron species in the mesopelagic zone at Ocean Station PAPA” in the Journal of Marine Science. Highlights include: • A dissolved Fe enhancement in the mesopelagic zone of the NE Pacific was observed. • The anomaly was also evident in Fe(II) distribution with depth. • Aerosol deposition from Siberian forest fires is the likely cause of the anomalies. • Dissolved Fe at the surface was at background levels. • There was no evidence of a phytoplankton bloom.

#EESPublishes: PhD Student Ellen Hartig on NYC Holocene Sea Level in the NYTimes!
Scientists Glimpse New York’s Perilous Path in an Ancient Patch of Marsh By MARC SANTORA JAN. 19, 2017 In Pelham Bay in the Bronx, an ancient salt marsh has provided a unique laboratory to study historic sea levels and perhaps see what lies ahead. Credit Todd Heisler/The New York Times Surrounded by landmarks of modernity like Co-op City in the Bronx, a sliver of New York’s ancient past remains relatively untouched. It is one of the city’s last salt marshes, a coastal ecosystem dominated by dense and sturdy stands of plants and grasses that has been trapping and binding sediments from …
#EESPublishes: Prof. O’Mullan on Culturable bioaerosols on the urban waterfront
Professor Gregory D. O’Mullan of Queens College and the Graduate Center coauthored a paper in Peer J entitled “Culturable bioaerosols along an urban waterfront are primarily associated with coarse particles“. Abstract: The source, characteristics and transport of viable microbial aerosols in urban centers are topics of significant environmental and public health concern. Recent studies have identified adjacent waterways, and especially polluted waterways, as an important source of microbial aerosols to urban air. The size of these aerosols influences how far they travel, their resistance to environmental stress, and their inhalation potential. In this study, we utilize a cascade impactor and aerosol …
#EESpublishes: Prof #BlaszczakBoxe of @GC_CUNY on the #Martian #ozone profile
Professor Christopher Blaszczak-Boxe of the CUNY Grad Center and City College co-authored a paper in ICARUS entitled A detailed pathway analysis of the chemical reaction system generating the Martian vertical ozone profile. Highlights: •Determination of all significant O3 producing and consuming pathways and quantification of their contributions in the Martian atmosphere with help of an automated computer algorithm. •O3 production results from CO2 and O2 photolysis. •O3 is consumed by catalytic cycles involving HOx (=H+OH+HO2). •The Martian atmosphere can be divided into two chemically distinct re- gions according to the O(3P):O3 ratio. •Vertical transport of O(3P) from upper layers downwards …
#EESPublishes: @GC_CUNY @GCSciences student #CharutaKulkarni on #Vegetational #History of #Serbia
EES Student Charuta Kulkani (@ckulkarni) first authored a paper in Quaternary Science Reviews entitled ” Exploring the role of humans and climate over the Balkan landscape: 500 years of vegetational history of Serbia“. Highlights of the article include; 1) The first Serbian palynological record of vegetation-landscape shifts from the Little Ice Age (LIA) to present. 2) Open landscapes with minor woodland and intense land erosion ensued during 1540–1720 CE due to human and climatic impacts. 3) Increased moisture availability in the late LIA (1720–1850 CE) is visible by increases in mesic and montane trees. 4) Increased forest cover with stable cultivation characterized …

#EESPublishes: Prof Bandosz of @GC_CUNY & @CityCollegeNY on Metal-Free Heterogeneous #Nanoporous C for CO2 #electrochemical Reduction
Professor Teresa J. Bandosz of the GC and City College co-authored an abstract for the ECS meeting entitled Metal-Free Heterogeneous Nanoporous Carbon for CO2 electrochemical Reduction to CO and CH4 in Aqueous Solution. Abstract: Recently, the electrochemical conversion of CO2 has gained a significant attention. It provides a poteAbstracntial solution for minimizing the CO2 concentration level in the environment and also offers an alternative way to convert it to renewable fuels. Various metals (Ag, Au, Cu, etc.) and metal complexes are used as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction. However, the limitations in their application are in the fact that many polycrystalline metals show a low …
#EESPublishes: #NewBookAlert! Prof #MonicaVarsanyi of @CUNY_GC @JohnJayCollege on #Policing #Immigrants @UChicagoPress
Professor Monica W. Varsanyi of John Jay College of Criminal Justice CUNY EES is a coauthor of a new book entitled: Policing Immigrants: Local Law Enforcement on the Front Lines. Abstract: The United States deported nearly two million illegal immigrants during the first five years of the Obama presidency—more than during any previous administration. President Obama stands accused by activists of being “deporter in chief.” Yet despite efforts to rebuild what many see as a broken system, the president has not yet been able to convince Congress to pass new immigration legislation, and his record remains rooted in a political landscape that …
