Could bicycle use, aided by schematic maps, reduce carbon emissions? Researchers in the College of Engineering, UMass Amherst and the UMass Department of Environmental Conservation aim to answer this bold question through research, thanks to a two-year, $40,000 Armstrong Fund for Science grant they were recently awarded. “Research has shown that 60% of all the trips we would take by car are one to three miles, so there’s a huge potential for bicycles, or even e-bikes," explains Assistant Professor Jimi Oke, one of three researchers on the project. Because the literature shows a person's decision of whether to bike is influenced by connectivity and available infrastructure, the researchers aim to understand if providing relevant information in a simplified schematic map could help. They also plan to design a computer algorithm to create such schematic maps for other regions. Learn more about this project and another recipient of this year's Armstrong grants, which will investigate the genetic movement of Hudsonian godwits in a remote site near the village of Beluga, Alaska. https://bit.ly/45SVgmc #UMassAmherst #UMassAmherstResearch #ClimateChange #CarbonEmissionReduction #Biking

🧘♀️ Let's take a collective breath and ground ourselves. Close your eyes, visualize roots growing from your feet, connecting you to the Earth. Notice how this simple practice shifts your energy. #MidweekMeditation #Grounding #MeditationPractice #EnergyHealing #tuneinwithtrish #forgottentoolsoftheuniverse #ancientwisdom#grounding #groundingtechniques #centering #bodymindcentering #focused #focusonyourself #focusonyou #concentration #stressedout #stressmanagement #bepresent #bepresentnow

Ever wondered what reefs ball are and their uses? This video gives a great introduction to their use, and is a perfect jumping off point for anyone thinking about using them! #reefballs #marineconservation #coralreefs #reefresearch #coral https://lnkd.in/dG2R-dME

Did you know that grounding technology can help you connect with the Earth's natural frequency of 7.83 Hertz? By going barefoot in the grass, you can experience the benefits of feeling more connected and centered. Take a moment to step outside and connect with the Earth today! 🌿 #Grounding #NatureConnection #EarthsFrequency

All of us can make a long list of places that have been meaningful. We're a mobile species, and places get knotted in memories. - In the early weeks of the Journey in Place course, we're going to make this list. Meaningful Places. But then we have to choose 1 place that we want to study with all our heart. - The thing about place is that it can have many scales. My farm is a place. Where I live--the delta between the Ohoopee and Altamaha rivers--is a place, an area about 10 square miles. And my bioregion, the wiregrass-longleaf coastal plains of the south of Georgia, is a place. - I'll have to make a decision soon. At what scale do I want to explore? - If you have registered for the place course, or if you are planning to register, please know that you get to decide how you want to define and circumscribe your place. Be thinking about it. It can be a 20' x 20' backyard or it can be a 20-square-mile township or a 2,000-square-mile bioregion. - That is the place that's going to love you back.

🦈 Celebrate Discovery Inc's "Shark Week" with a fun STEM activity on shark adaptation from JASON Learning! 🌊 🔍 Did you know? #Sharks can detect prey from great distances with their keen sense of smell and have special pressure sensors to pick up movements in nearby water. Their specialized teeth and streamlined, torpedo-like bodies reduce water resistance, allowing for fast, efficient movements. Learn how these magnificent sharks have evolved to thrive in their ocean habitats and discover the incredible #adaptations that make sharks the ultimate apex predators in our "Adaptation Lab" within our "Resilient Planet > Mission 4: Paradise Found > Stage 2." 💡 In our Adaptation Lab activity, you’ll compare and contrast how different shapes move through water. Through your observations, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how body shape plays a crucial role in survival. 🔧 Materials Needed: - Lab 2 Data Sheet - Waterproof clay - Fishing line - Paper clips - Large plastic underbed storage container (or stream table) Join us and explore the fascinating world of #sharkadaptations!🦈 https://lnkd.in/egw2gw8p #SharkWeek #STEM #JASONLearning #AdaptationLab #MarineBiology #STEMEducation #HandsOnLearning #ApexPredators
