The Rutgers Raritan River Consortium (R3C) is dedicated to providing students, especially those from diverse backgrounds, with opportunities to...
Little water quality data exists that can inform the safety of recreating on the highly urbanized Lower Raritan River. The Lower Raritan is actively...
The burden of non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) infections on the US healthcare systems is estimated to cost $815 million annually. NTM causes...
There is very little information on the density and or the species of bivalve mollusks present in the watershed of the Raritan River basin. The...
Mid-Atlantic populations of river herring (Alosa pseudoharengus, alewife, and A. aestivalis, blueback herring) have declined precipitously in recent...
The objective of this project was to develop an elevation/bathymetry grid for the Raritan River Basin as a precursor for a hydrodynamic model. In...
This white paper explores the physical and mental health benefits of outdoor recreation and nature, focusing on those with disabilities. The paper has four sections. Section 1 examines the physical health benefits of access to outdoor recreation and nature, such as...
Abstract A desire to shift from fossil fuels to non-carbon-emitting energy sources has become an imperative supported by national, state, and local policies. In the U.S., a diverse array of policies at multiple levels of government have helped the solar industry...
Abstract Heatwaves are known to result in negative health effects in general and especially in vulnerable populations. At the same time, the effect of high outdoor temperatures on indoor air quality is largely unknown. To start filling this knowledge gap, we recruited...
Managed or planned retreat is a climate change adaptation strategy that allows the shoreline to advance inward unimpeded, necessitating the removal of buildings and other built infrastructure. To facilitate managed retreat efforts, federal, state, and local government...
