    Past Tibor T. Polgar Fellowships

    Past Tibor T. Polgar Fellowships The Hudson River estuary stretches from its tidal limit at the Federal Dam at Troy, New York, to its merger with the New York Bight, south of New York City. Within that reach, the estuary displays a broad transition from tidal freshwater to marine conditions that are reflected in its physical composition and the biota it supports. These characteristics present a major opportunity and challenge for researchers to describe the makeup and workings of a complex and dynamic ecosystem. The Tibor T. Polgar Fellowship Program provides funds for graduate and undergraduate students to study selected aspects of the physical, chemical, biological, and public policy realms of the estuary. Since its inception in 1985, the program has provided approximately $1 million in funding to 189 students and can boast the involvement of 116 advisors from 64 institutions. The program is named in memory of Dr. Tibor T. Polgar, an estuarine biologist who was a key advisor to the Hudson River Foundation for Science and Environmental Research when the fellowship program was created. The program is conducted jointly by the Hudson River Foundation and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The fellowships are funded by the Foundation.

  • New York City Area: Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch

    New York City Area: Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch

    MAPS INSIDE NEW YORK CITY AREA Health Advice on Eating Fish You Catch 1 Why We Have Advisories Fishing is fun and fish are an important part of a healthy diet. Fish contain high quality protein, essential nutrients, healthy fish oils and are low in saturated fat. However, some fish contain chemicals at levels that may be harmful to health. To help people make healthier choices about which fish they eat, the New York State Department of Health issues advice about eating sportfish (fish you catch). The health advice about which fish to eat depends on: Where You Fish Fish from waters that are close to human activities and contamination sources are more likely to be contaminated than fish from remote marine waters. In the New York City area, fish from the Long Island Sound or the ocean are less contaminated. Who You Are Women of childbearing age (under 50) and children under 15 are advised to limit the kinds of fish they eat and how often they eat them. Women who eat highly contaminated fish and become pregnant may have an increased risk of having children who are slower to develop and learn. Chemicals may have a greater effect on the development of young children or unborn babies. Also, some chemicals may be passed on in mother’s milk. Women beyond their childbearing years and men may face fewer health risks from some chemicals. For that reason, the advice for women over age 50 and men over age 15 allows them to eat more kinds of sportfish and more often (see tables, pages 4 and 6).

    QUEENS CITY Woodhaven, Ozone Park, Lindenwood, COUNCIL 2009 DISTRICT 32 Howard Beach, South Ozone Park Parks are an essential city service. They are the barometers of our city. From Flatbush to Flushing and Morrisania to Midtown, parks are the front and backyards of all New Yorkers. Well-maintained and designed parks offer recreation and solace, improve property values, reduce crime, and contribute to healthy communities. SHOWCASE : Rockaway Beach The Report Card on Beaches is modeled after New Yorkers for Parks’ award-winning Report Card on Parks. Through the results of independent inspections, it tells New Yorkers how well the City’s seven beaches are maintained in four key service areas: shorelines, pathways, bathrooms, and drink- ing fountains. The Report Card on Beaches is an effort to highlight these important facilities and ensure that New York City’s 14 miles of beaches are open, clean, and safe.

PETEET NASA/Goddard Institute for Space Studies 2880 Broadway, New York, New York 10025 USA Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 61 Route 9W, Palisades, New York 10964 USA [email protected] DEE CABANISS PEDERSON Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory 61 Route 9W, Palisades, New York 10964 USA DOROTHY KURDYLA AND TOM GUILDERSON Lawrence-Livermore National Laboratory, Center for Accelerated Mass Spectometry 7000 East Avenue, L-403, Livermore, California 94550 USA Abstract.—Hudson riverine and coastal marshes provide a paleoecological archive consisting of information on climate and land use at both the local and watershed scales. The timing of formation of these marshes is documented using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dating of identified plant macrofossils in basal marsh organic sediments. While the Staten Island marsh is oldest and dates to 11,000 years before present (BP), Piermont, Iona, and Croton marshes date to the mid-Holocene, and the Jamaica Bay marshes formed most recently. Pollen and spores, charcoal, and plant macrofossils in the marsh sediments document marked climatic shifts as well as anthropogenic impact in the region. Assessment of the inorganic and organic content of the sediments in the marshes reveals a pattern of decreasing inorganic supply with the arrival of the Europeans, possibly due to the construction of numerous Hudson River tributary dams. Piermont Marsh, because of its sensitive location in the Hudson River, records droughts and wet intervals through species which have specific salinity affinities.

    Chapter 10: Responses to Comments on the Draft EIS1 A

    Chapter 10: Responses to Comments on the Draft EIS1 A. INTRODUCTION This chapter of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) summarizes and responds to substantive comments received during the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), issued on March 22, 2019, for the proposed NYC Borough-Based Jail System. City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) requires a public hearing on the DEIS as part of the environmental review process. The DEIS public hearing was held on July 10, 2019, at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Theater, 524 West 59th Street, New York, NY at 10:00 AM. The comment period remained open through Monday, July 22, 2019. Section B contains a summary of relevant comments on the DEIS and a response to each. These summaries convey the substance of the comments made, but do not necessarily quote the comments verbatim. Comments are organized by subject matter and generally parallel the chapter structure of the DEIS. Where more than one commenter expressed similar views, those comments have been grouped and addressed together. Commenters who expressed general support or general opposition but did not provide substantive comments on the DEIS are listed at the end of Section B. A list of organizations and individuals who commented can be found in Section C. All written comments are included in Appendix K, “Written Comments Received on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement.” Where relevant, in response to comments on the DEIS, changes have been made and are shown with double underlines in the FEIS. B. COMMENTS AND RESPONSES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Comment 1: CB1 is on record objecting to the administration’s “opaque site selection and lack of community input” for the Manhattan BBJ project, and CB1 continues to believe the administration should reconsider its selection of the Manhattan site in conjunction with a process of meaningful community engagement on site selection.
