Green Guidance: Forests Point the Way to Better Stormwater Management
Working as a water resource faculty and ecosystems engineer with a university on the east coast, Ani Jayakaran learned to look at forests and watersheds as guides for better water management, especially stormwater runoff. “I learned how forests and undeveloped watersheds manage water, and my goal has always been to take the approaches of nature and bring them to urban watersheds and ecosystems,” Jayakaran says. “I wanted to look at our current urban ecosystems to see how we could make them more useful and relevant to people, but also use nature as a guide to making them more effective and sustainable. They are currently pretty degraded environments, so we must incorporate some natural strategies to manage them better.

Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in nature can likely relate to feeling connected and defensive toward protecting the environment. Heather Kinney, a coastal restoration scientist with The Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island, knows this feeling well, having felt a deep connection to nature her entire life. “I have always had a deep love for nature and the environment, particularly being out on the water and being drawn to the ocean, as cliché as that sounds,” says Kinney. 
 
Being so close to nature her entire life led Kinney to pursue a career in conservation and restoration. “You want to protect what you love, and I think that once I fell in love with it- it was something that I wanted to be able to pursue professionally,” she explains.
Read MoreNot So Quiet Polar Night: Arctic Creatures Found to be Active During Dark Part of the Year
Most people need little more than a comfortable pillow, a blanket, and a dark room to drift off into a multi-hour snooze. Many researchers assumed that once plunged into darkness for about half the year during the polar night, most polar creatures would do the same: fall asleep and take a big nap for as long as the darkness lasted. But Jon Cohen, associate professor of marine sciences, school of marine science and policy, in the College of Earth, Ocean, and the Environment at the University of Delaware, wondered if that was true. Despite the technical challenges of monitoring biota in very low light conditions, Cohen and his team were determined to find out if krill, copepods, and other creatures were dozing off in the dark or seeking out prey, light, and each other.
