Reflections from our second year of the Summer Teacher Institute by Summer Fellow Daria Healey!
This fall, Boston will experience a spectacular tidal event: the Perigean Spring Tides (also called King Tides). These “wicked high tides” result in high tides that are 2-4 feet higher than normal. This natural phenomenon occurs a few times each year, and gives us a window into how sea level rise will soon start affecting our daily lives.
The Stone Living Lab has joined the steering committee for the 2023 Climate Beacon Conference to be held in Boston October 10 & 11.
If you were unable to attend the Stone Living Lab’s 2023 Conference, you can now watch the recordings of our plenary talks and panels!
This summer, two undergraduate researchers have joined the Stone Living Lab!
The City of Boston is experiencing climate change and taking action to build urban resiliency through their Climate Ready Boston initiative. In Season 6, Episode 2 of the EWN® Podcast, Host Sarah Thorne is joined by Co-host Andrew McQueen, Research Biologist in the Environmental Laboratory of the Engineer Research and Development Center, USACE, and Joe Christo, Managing Director of the Stone Living Lab in Boston, Massachusetts.
We're thrilled to welcome two new graduate students to the Lab! Daniel Lopez and Curtis Morris will be researching the intertidal zone with SLL researcher Jarrett Byrnes.
This spring, SLL and National Parks Service (NPS) staff created and piloted a series of brand-new lessons with fifth graders at Samuel Adams Elementary in East Boston. We used phenology to answer the question: "How do we know something is changing?"
This year we are thrilled to welcome two summer staff members to the Lab: Sarah Hope and Daria Healey! They are joining the Education and Engagement team to bring our programming to all kinds of events and communities this summer, as well as supporting our second Teacher Institute
