Cultivate a culture of sustainability
at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA.
June 6—July 1, 2016

June 6—July 1, 2016
ffs.hampshire.edu
Now in its fifth summer, the Food, Farm, and Sustainability
Institute combines rigorous classroom instruction and practical experience,
utilizing our working farm as a laboratory.
What will students learn?
The Food, Farm, and Sustainability Institute at Hampshire
College is an interdisciplinary academic program focusing on food science and
sustainable food systems, centered at the vibrant Hampshire College Farm
Center. The Institute follows food from its origin in the soil, through plant
cultivation and animal management; addresses issues in public health and
politics; and ends up in the kitchen, breaking bread and assessing the
character of the food we produce and eat.
Who should apply?
We encourage students from across the globe to join us! The Food, Farm, and Sustainability Institute primarily serves undergraduate (and some graduate) students with an interest in food, sustainable agriculture, farming, environmental studies, and/or sustainability studies. Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to apply.
Yeah, but what about transfer credits?
We've got those too! The course structure will mainly consist of work at the farm in the mornings, afternoon classes, field trips (e.g., to other local farms and food processors), some evening speakers, and some weekend trips. We recommend a minimum of four undergraduate credits for the completion of the program.
Ok, I'm interested. What is the application process?
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Only completed applications are reviewed. Once accepted, you will be billed for the program, and once all fees are paid, your spot is secure!

I would like to share with you and your students a unique
and awesome opportunity to learn Permaculture Design in the jungle of Caribbean
Costa Rica!
This July 3 - 16, Punta Mona Center for Regenerative Design & Botanical
Studies is offering a 2 week, 75 hour, internationally
recognized Permaculture Design Certificate Course.
The course covers ecological design methods and techniques,
water and alternative energy systems, earth works, natural building strategies,
soil science and many other regenerative practices as well as community living
and development and deep earth connection.
This course can be used as an independent study or as
internship credits through many universities, students just need to be
proactive and self motived. Our student body is very diverse, coming from
around the world, the ages range from 16 - 65 and the course is bilingual in
English and Spanish.
Punta Mona Center is a 20 year old, beach front,
off-the-grid, organic permaculture farm, eduction and retreat center on the
Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in the heart of the Gandoca-Manzanillo
Wildlife Refuge in primary and secondary rainforest.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this
amazing Summer program and I hope very much you share this with your students
and other interested faculty.

Two NSF-funded Ph.D. research assistantships are available
immediately for work at UMBC contributing to the Urban Water Innovation
Network project (https://erams.com/UWIN/). Both assistantships
cover stipend, tuition, health insurance and fees. Please forward this to
colleagues and students who may be interested. The specific projects
are:
1. Land-atmosphere-hydrosphere interactions in urban terrains (https://erams.com/UWIN/land-atmosphere-hydrosphere-interactions-in-urban-terrain/)
This student will be supervised by Dr. Claire Welty (weltyc@umbc.edu) and the research involves coupling of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) atmospheric model, the urbanized Noah land surface model, and the ParFlow subsurface flow model. The work is being done in collaboration with Eli Bou-Zeid at Princeton University and Zhihua Wang at Arizona State University. Strong quantitative and modeling skills are needed.
2. Hydrology and hydraulics of urban floodplains (https://erams.com/UWIN/hydrology-and-hydraulics-of-urban-floodplains/)
This student will be supervised by Dr. Andrew Miller (miller@umbc.edu) and the research involves study of interactions between flood flows and urban channels, floodplains and riparian zones as influenced by urban infrastructure and by efforts to mitigate development impacts. We will use topographic data from airborne and terrestrial lidar, Structure from Motion (SfM) derived from unmanned aerial vehicles, and field surveys to drive two-dimensional hydraulic models. This work is conducted in collaboration with Brian Bledsoe at University of Georgia and will be linked to the UWIN Flood Hydrology and Rainfall Frequency project (PI: James Smith at Princeton University).

What do interns with Environment America interns do?
You’ll help us educate and engage more students and citizens on the most
critical environmental issues of our time. You’ll help us get our issues into
the media, build coalitions, organize events and lobby decision-makers.
Ultimately, you’ll help us build the kind of public support it takes to win.

We’re working to stop global warming: We took a big step forward last summer when President Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to develop standards that would cut carbon pollution from power plants, the nation’s largest contributors to global warming pollution. This historic step won’t be enough to fully solve the problem, but it’ll be an important start. But standing in the way, at every step, is one of the most powerful special interests in the world: the fossil fuel industry. That’s where we come in. We’re working to rally millions of American citizens, along with local elected officials and other powerful voices to back the President’s plan.
We’re making sure we don’t frack our future: Dirty and dangerous fracking could soon put some of America’s most spectacular places at risk. And we know that this especially destructive method of drilling for gas contaminates water and turns forests and rural landscapes into industrial zones – making nearby families sick and contributing significantly to global warming as well. Now, we’re working to offset the outsized influence of the oil and gas industry and keep our remarkable special places protected.
We’re working to protect our rivers, lakes and streams: To protect our waterways from pollution and destruction we need to crack down on factory farm pollution, sewage and other threats. And we know it won’t be easy because of big opposition from the Farm Bureau, giant agribusiness and others. Now, we’re working to harness grassroots support for clean water and turn it into the political power we need to have a lasting direct impact on our waterways.
