    Summer 2008 Terra Firma Summer 2008 Department of Earth Science & Geography Vassar College Greetings from Earth Science & Geography at Vassar! In this issue of Terra Firma, our biennial newsletter, you will read about the people and events associated with our department during the last two years. As in the past, we continue to offer distinctive disciplinary perspectives on the world’s geo-physical structures, spatial systems, and human environments. We welcome you to visit us whenTerra you are next on campus! Firma Some of you may wonder about the department’s new name. Although we still teach geology, we have rechristened the program “Earth Science” to keep pace with evolving areas of inquiry in earth systems. As you can see in our A. Scott Warthin Museum of Geology and Natural History, the department cherishes our traditions while we embrace contemporary approaches to science. Of course, we also offer degrees in Geography, Geography-Anthropology, and Earth Science and Society. In fact, ours remains Vassar’s only department to span two divisions—the natural sciences and the social sciences. This cross-fertilization promotes a collaborative, inquiry-centered approach to teaching and learning about the many challenges facing the planet. More than fifty majors and correlate sequences now focus their efforts in our department, while some 500 students enroll in our courses annually. Our many alumnae/i, who have gone on to contribute so much in various walks of life, also fill us with pride. Recently, we particularly benefited from the creation of the Mary Laflin Rockwell Fund for field research in Earth Science, Geology, and Geography—thanks to the generosity of Joan Rockwell ’72 and Ellen Rockwell Galland '67.

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote: “Let me express my appreciation to you for the great part that you and your late husband have played in the struggle for freedom and human dignity for all people. The names of the Spingarns will go down in history as symbols of the struggle for freedom and justice.” Amy Spingarn’s Amenia home was long a gathering place for prominent thinkers, writers and activists including those who founded the NAACP. Yet it is too often in letters and diaries, not in history books, that we learn aboutWomen’s these remarkable History women. in The 2018 volume of Women’s History in the Hudson Valley: Ten Stories from Columbia and Dutchess Counties includes the story of philanthropist, artistthe and Hudsonpoet Amy Einstein Valley Spingarn, as well Megan Carr-Wilks, an emergency first responder with the NYPD during the September 11 attacks, and Julia Philip, a civil rights activist who helped drive Harlem schoolTen childrenStories after from bus drivers Columbia refused to comply with new school integrationand measures,Dutchess among Counties others. For the fifth year, in partnership with the Mid-Hudson Library District, our office is proud to produce and distribute Women’s History in the Hudson Valley as part of Women’s History Month to help ensure that the lives of women and girls2018 from our region are known and remembered for generations to come.

Such decisions include strategies to minimize future Flood Resilience Education in the Hudson River Estuary: Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation flooding impacts while also properly responding to storm impacts to streams and adjacent and associated infrastructure. This project had three main components: 1) a flood education needs assessment of local municipal officials (2013), 2) an evaluation of a flood education program for highway personnel (2013), and 3) a survey of riparian landowners (2014). The riparian landowner needs assessment determined that the majority of riparian landowners in the region have experienced flooding, yet few are actually engaging in stream management to mitigate flood issues on their land.

  • Influence of Open Space on Water Quality in an Urban Stream
    INFLUENCE OF OPEN SPACE ON WATER QUALITY IN AN URBAN STREAM Mary Ann Cunningham, Kirsten M. Menking, and David P. Gillikin Department of Earth Science and Geography Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 Kelsey C. Smith and Christopher P. Freimuth Environmental Research Institute Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 Stuart L. Belli Department of Chemistry Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 A. Marshall Pregnall and Mark A. Schlessman Department of Biology Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 Pinar Batur Department of Sociology Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 Abstract: Much attention has been given to the impairment of streams in urban areas and to the value of green space in preventing degradation. However, few studies have examined whether green space can remediate water quality downstream of contaminant sources. To assess the degree to which an ecological preserve was able to ameliorate upstream water quality impairments, we examined changes in conductivity, total inorganic nitrogen (TIN), and a family biotic index (FBI) for benthic macroinvertebrates in a partially urbanized stream in eastern New York state, USA. We expected conductivity, which results mainly from road de-icing salt, to decrease in the green space due to dilution from low- conductivity surface runoff. We also expected TIN and FBI to indicate stream improvements in response to increased vegetative cover in the green space. Contrary to expectations, conductivity did not improve in the ecological preserve, although TIN and FBI values did improve. Differences in scales of response explain this contrast in recovery/conductivity responded to basin-wide percentage impervious surface cover (ISC), while TIN and FBI responded to riparian-scale ISC, which declined sharply in the ecological preserve.
