UNH is holding their Graduate Research Conference virtually this year. You can see the presentations here: https://t.co/JyqGbXfhLL
Check out my poster about estimating metrics of forest biodiversity with remote sensing in the Natural Resources section.

Baillergon: Forest diversity metrics like functional, species, & phylogenetic are related to each other, while spectral and structural are related to each other. Will quantify forest diversity of each throughout New England. #UNHURC

[Wilfred Wollheim @WilWollheim]

Baillergon: Diversity in a forest makes it more resilient and resistant to disturbance. For timber management. But, what do we mean by diversity? Many ways. e.g. shape, size, colors. In forests: species, functional, phylogenetic, structural, light reflectance. #UNHURC

@Kyle_Hacker1 While hydro-power does have some potential, having too many dams in one area will make most of the plants useless and will cause a significant amount of damage that is not worth the limited benefits gained #aquaeco2017

@EcoSarahCarlson This is really interesting. I'm curious to know what other processes could potentially be involved to keep this island afloat. #aquaeco2017

[Kaitlyn Baillargeon @KBail20]

Upon the arrival of winter, it is a good idea to start thinking about how our salt applications will affect local aquatic systems. New solutions are sometimes costly or have their own set of drawbacks #aquaeco2017 https://t.co/jkstY7XJKl

@Nate_Cleveland It's really disturbing to see companies continue to dump chemicals into waterways without considering the potential harm it will cause #aquaeco2017

[Kaitlyn Baillargeon @KBail20]

@Kyle_Hacker1 Unfortunately the water used from fracking cannot be returned to its source without heavy consequences meanwhile most of the excess water used for agriculture can be repurposed with less contamination worries. #aquaeco2017

Many non-game fish species, like the gar fish mentioned in the article, don't receive the attention they deserve because they are seen as less valuable. Education is key for understanding the important roles they play in their ecosystems #aquaeco2017 https://t.co/YFEr1w6xRv

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

A gathering force of fish conservationists is changing the narrative around gar, an ancient fish too long accused of crimes it didn’t commit. https://t.co/w5EzHtpYdk

@KyleSeawards If only there were alternate resources to help make roadways safe or better practices involved to reduce the amount of runoff into waterways. #aquaeco2017

@HoytVirginia I find it somewhat ironic that in an attempt to provide more power to support the people of Cambodia also results in a drastic change to the local's ability to provide enough food for surrounding communities. #aquaeco2017

[Kaitlyn Baillargeon @KBail20]

Many of these endangered rivers provide valuable services that we can't live without but very few actions are being taken to protect them. #aquaeco2017 https://t.co/Ogw2GzWlXs

“If we don’t protect and restore our rivers ... our economy, public safety, and quality of life will all suffer.”

@HoytVirginia This also leads to loss of habitat for many species, terrestrial and aquatic. #aquaeco2017
