1. Practicing the recognition convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries to draw plausible conclusions were tremendously intriguing and rewarding, especially by applying it to live USGS Earthquake Tracking.
2. Analyzing different possible correlations such as volcanic presence, tectonic activity, topography, bathymetry, and even…

I really like how seemingly-random the question is for how specific it is, it’s really interesting when taking the role as a scientist to ask questions about specific cases, not just the grander scale questions so it’s really cool that you did that.

Indeed, the hypothesis is very logical and very adjacent to the subject of the…[Read more]

Thanks!

I agree with your hypothesis that the sea tide directly influences the water level of the Hudson River because they’re interconnected. It simply makes sense that sea flow affects the water level of the Hudson River.

However, I believe that another layer of complexity can be added by factoring the moon cycles and what part of the month…[Read more]

I really like how you further pursued your chief topic of interest and considered deeper questions about it. I agree that the issue of fires is critical to solve from the roots as its not enough to just put them out.

I definitely found it prudent and good that you recognized that there are a lot of variables related to the problem at…[Read more]

Why do short objects near taller objects get struck by lightning, and can this be reliably predicted?

According to https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-fatalities, most…[Read more]

Why the water level of Hudson River rises or drops?

With two observations that:

-The water level is higher at evening.

-Hudson River is connecting to the ocean.

So my hypothesis is:

Very interesting interests you’re interested in there. Your project sounds so cool, I love hearing about senior projects since they’re always so practically applicable and creative.

I agree that learning EAS and geology is very useful because it can inform what designs we make and what we can either combat or take advantage of.…[Read more]

Yeah, geology is super cool and volcanoes are fun.

I suppose it’s a theme in our group; I’m also into meditation but I don’t like active guides or anything. Just silence.

Good to meet you guys, looking forward to working together.

Yes, ME and robotics is awesome. I’m a freshman, and it’s too early to judge curriculum since I am still in my first year and we haven’t been in the building yet.

Indeed, looking forward to working and learning together.

I’ve been practicing sporadically for over a year, so it’s interesting to see how my practice has evolved.

It’s really paradoxical and powerful to simply do nothing and be with the flow of your conscious and the thoughts that come with it.

Do you utilize…[Read more]

So excited to hear your interests about meditation. I started practicing since lock down. Very helpful and extremely satisfying…

look forward to learn and work with you~

Best wishes,

Dong

I’m also in Mechanical Engineering, it’s good to have a fellow ME.

What year are you in and how do you like the curriculum so far?

I’m also interested in robotics, however I’m not well versed in it haha.

Yeah I also understand the obligations we engineers have to the general public and the environment itself. It’s a very intertwined…[Read more]

It’s interesting that both of you are interested in architecture.

What types of buildings or structures are both of you interested in creating eventually?

Yeah erosion is a fascinating topic with a plethora of applications such as, relatedly, building erosion and methods to deter against it.

Here’s to a good semester!

Owen

I’m also quite interested in meditation, however I haven’t meditated for a full hour all at once haha. I usually do shorter 15-20 minute meditations. I would be down to try for longer durations sometime.

I am also Chinese, I speak okay enough Cantonese and my parents are from Guangdong.

Looking forward to working with you!

Best,

Owen

My name is Owen Jiang (pronounced JANG), my pronouns are he/him/his, and calling me Owen is just fine.

I’m a senior in Mechanical Engineering. Since ME is so broad, there are so many topics that I could apply myself to, but I’m interested at the moment in automotive safety and manufacturing. Another option of…[Read more]

My name is Dong Wen.

I am majoring in Architecture, and I like this major very much.

I am from China and my hobby is meditation. I spend at least one hour daily for meditation.

I hope to learn more about geology, and this course will help me to understand the site condition.

I love the pattern of the volcanic landscape…[Read more]

My name is Nitay Eshed, pronounced “KNEE-tie”. You can call me Nitay. I’m majoring in mechanical engineering with the interest of pursuing robotics as a field.

In terms of hobbies I like reading, tinkering, programming, cooking, learning, playing Magic: the Gathering, and Dungeons & Dragons.

I figured that learning about the Earth…[Read more]

Before we get started with the course it’s important to get to know the members of your lab group. You will create your post in the CUNY Academic Commons group to which you been recently invited.

For your introductory post, please provide the following information:

1. Tell us your name,…[Read more]
