Trying to get a better understanding of the pollutants in urban spaces as they go into our drainage systems. Does anyone know where I could go to get a better understanding of what those pollutants might be? #envir490 #envir492 @UWEnvironment

Looking for precedents on #greeninfrastucture in Seattle other than Swale on Yale. Anyone got any ideas I can go see? #envir490 #envir492 #uwlarch @UWBuiltEnv

@SammyChu14 Possibly look at what the child's interests are (playing, talking, crafts, etc.) and what the child does in the gardens. You may be able to code different personality types and see if exposure to the gardens influence their behavior. #envir490

I’ve been researching a lot about therapeutic gardens and #childdevelopment any #Envir492 students or experts have some suggestions on how to cohesively link the two? #Envir490

@KristinaFoltz I think she focuses more on environmental injustices rather than environmental goods and bads. Try Reconceiving Environmental Justice by Schlosberg for more, it might get at the background for what your looking for

Looking for tips on what people are filling in for their 12-week schedule on learning contract. I have mine filled out, but I only have one task per week. Is that too little? #help #envir490

Is anyone else panicked about the proposal assignment? Please validate me Twitter. #envir490

@mollllythompson This exact motion led me to a 2-hour nap earlier this week! So ready for a holiday and next quarter!

Anyone else ready to get this quarter over with and move onto doing their internship #Envir490

@SammyChu14 I try to get 2 or 3 sources for each point I make. I think this may be on the lighter side for sources, but if I can explain my topic well and the sources support me I see no issue.

As I do more research I keep finding myself getting deeper into one subtopic of my actual research question. Any recommendations on how to know when you’ve gathered enough information on one point? #Envir490 #PoEcap

@CKasinadhuni This is a reason why unchecked expansion of greenspace is sometimes referred to as green gentrification, as it displaces community members. Development of public spaces must include input from the community in order to be effective.

@Stef_Mahler Thanks Stefan! This was interesting!! I had no clue that trees could increase property value! #ENVIR490

Tree are important, especially within the city. Here is a list of benefits from urban trees. fao.org/zhc/detail-eve… #envir490

@AliceqzUW I'm going to buy myself some new pens. Nothing makes me more satisfied than a writing/sketching with a nice pen.

Is there anyone else that is getting more excited about their internship each week that they started to online shop for whatever stuff they "think" they'll need? #envir490

@catcol_mov I find it interesting that this is on this is under USDA jurisdiction. Is that because farms are typically close to rivers?

nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrc… The Natural Resources Conservation Service in WA has been restoring estuaries for over two decades, which is exactly what I will be doing for my capstone. #envir490

In case you were curious, here are different types of #greeninfrastructure. My personal favorites are bioswales and urban tree canopies. epa.gov/green-infrastr… #envir490

@pranavbhardwaj_ I think the person may be a landscape architect since the graphics look like they come from Adobe Illustrator and it's a redesign of a street. I hope to be making presentables like this soon!

@Stef_Mahler This is really cool! I wonder who did the graphics for this and which field they might come from.

Very cool video on how we can reimagine public spaces for community gathering instead of cars #envir490

An event which happened over the weekend with #leaders in #sustainabledevelopment here in Seattle!

@StoppelJeremy Very cool image, I want to go find one now. Tha nks for sharing #envir490

Check out the cool Ice Caves I got to visit this weekend. Don't go inside them though, as people have found out in recent years, they can be deadly. #ENVIR490

@SammyChu14 Congrats on working at Oxbow! I'm excited to hear about how this sensory garden turns out!

I’m looking forward to interning with Oxbow Farm to plan and propose a sensory garden! I can’t wait to do research about how nature affects behavioral changes in young people #Envir490 #POEcap #behavioralscience

Exciting to be interning with @boardandvellum for my #PoEcap to explore how people interact with #greenspace and #greeninfrastructure to improve #cityplanning. More to come. #envir490

Could not be more excited about the organization I will be working for during my #PoEcap! I look forward to announcing my internship on #greenspace #greeninfrastructure and #cityplanning soon!
