Research in the Pocantico River Watershed
Graduate environmental science student Sam Cronk; along with fellow graduate student Emily Schmidt, undergraduate environmental studies student Lucas Andujar, and Professor Michael Rubbo; were at the Pocantico River this week working on Sam’s Master’s degree project. Sam is examining the impact of social trails on the condition of the river.
Social trails are unofficial, unmarked paths created by increased foot-traffic that can be harmful to the environment. Sam is studying the effect of these trails on the health of the streambanks.
Pace University’s Pleasantville campus sits within the Pocantico River Watershed and Pace’s environmental students are often out in the watershed conducting studies.
