Recent Publications from the Stone Living Lab
In March 2025, the Stone Living Lab released findings from three projects funded by grants to three external organizations. These publications all explore nature-based approaches (NbA) through lenses of public health, open space access, economic opportunity, and climate justice. We’re also proud to celebrate Emma Brooks, a master’s student with the Stone Living Lab and supervised by Professor Bob Chen, who successfully defended her thesis: Harboring Change: Legacy Contamination, Plant-Metal Dynamics, and the Fate of a Boston Marsh.
