Jamaica has also experienced significant earthquakes, such as the 1692 Port Royal and 1907 Great Kingston events, but none are known from the 200-km-long Jamaica Passage segment of the fault.<br \/>A National Science Foundation Rapid Response survey mapped the EPGF in this area, collecting seismic profiles and gravity cores to identify event deposits (EDs) linked to past earthquakes. Radiocarbon dating and Bayesian age modeling revealed that 50 out of 58 EDs had overlapping ages, suggesting that these deposits resulted from large earthquakes along the fault. The recent Mw 7.2 Nippes earthquake in Haiti, combined with these findings, indicates increased earthquake hazard potential in the Jamaica Passage.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/sees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2024\/09\/McHugh-et-al.-2024-g52258.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/sees\/faculty-research-cecilia-mchugh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cecilia M.

Coch (GC\/Queens, Earth and Environmental Sciences) has died. A pioneering coastal geologist and longtime CUNY professor, he earned the nickname Dr. Doom and made headlines for warning, years before Hurricane Sandy, that a hurricane could devastate New York. He died on July 6. He was 86.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The New York Times reported that in 1996, during a trip to study coastal erosion in the Edgemere section of the Rockaways, Coch and his students came across strange artifacts \u2014 broken plates, beer mugs, coal \u2014 that they subsequently determined came from Hog Island, a barrier island that had sunk into the sea over a century earlier. The cause of the island\u2019s demise, they theorized, was a powerful 1893 hurricane. The finding supported Coch\u2019s conviction, based on sedimentary records and newspaper articles, that the New York metropolitan region was particularly vulnerable to storm surge and fierce winds from hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Disaster management specialists, the Times wrote, dubbed him Dr. Doom for his gloomy forecast, which he articulated in a 1994 journal article, \u201cHurricane Hazards Along the Northeastern Atlantic Coast of the United States,\u201d that the Times covered. On his business card, he called himself a \u201cforensic hurricanologist \u2014 no category storm too small.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In 2012, Hurricane Sandy inundated New York, causing 43 people to drown and an estimated $19 billion in damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Coch primarily studied coastal and estuarine sedimentary processes. He and his students produced the first sediment maps of Long Island Sound and New York harbor. Decades later, updated research techniques confirmed their results. Other studies published by his lab examined cliff retreat and dynamic depositional features along the north shore of Long Island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">He served as a consultant to the New York City and New York State emergency management offices. Local and national TV stations interviewed him regularly, and he appeared on several hurricane specials, including ones by the BBC, National Geographic, and the Weather Channel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A CUNY alumnus, he received his B.S. in geology from The City College of New York and his Ph.D. in geology from Yale University in 1965.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">He joined the Queens College faculty in 1967 and was appointed to the Graduate Center\u2019s Earth and Environmental Sciences doctoral faculty in 1982. He retired from CUNY in 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">He co-wrote two introductory geology textbooks and a popular book on geohazards. He was a Geological Society of America Fellow and a member of the American Meteorological Society, the Society of Sedimentary Geologists, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, and the National Association of Geology Teachers, from which he won a teaching excellence award. He was a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer from 2004 to 2006.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In addition to his hurricane warnings, he was known for his towering height (at 6 feet, 7.5 inches, he wore a size 15 shoe), booming voice, and sense of humor. The New York Times reported on one of his jokes: \u201cInformally, I might be the biggest coastal geologist in the country, skeletally at least. Having height is good. When the hurricane surges rise, I&#8217;m the last one to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Bonnie Eissner,<br \/>Director of Communications, CUNY Graduate Center, beissner@gc.cuny.edu<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"color: #808080\">Published by the Office of Communications and Marketing<br \/>July 2024<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243;

Since May, she has worked in our Natural Resources Department as a Scientists in Parks intern. She monitors and collects data from over two dozen thermal springs weekly!<br \/>For Jessica, this internship serves as more than just a way to expand her knowledge and experience in resource management. \u201cGrowing up, every time I pictured a scientist, I would always think about individuals who did not resemble me or come from backgrounds like mine,&#8221; Jessica said. &#8220;As a Latina in conservation, I strive to challenge those traditional notions of what a scientist looks like. Being a Latina in conservation means being a trailblazer, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring others. It means advocating for diversity and inclusivity and changing the standards and expanding the definition of a scientist. I am proud of my heritage and proud of my love for science and the environment, and I hope to make a lasting impact in my community and beyond!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re visiting Hot Springs National Park and happen to see Jessica, be sure to say hello!

The program is designed to cement the place of science in decision-making by empowering Ambassadors to build trusting, sustained partnerships with their local policymakers. Justin and fellow Ambassadors will leverage scientific expertise and communication skills to personalize science policy issues for their policymakers&#8217; constituents.<br \/>Lawmakers need to hear about critical issues both directly from scientists and from their constituents, and Justin&#8217;s efforts to reach out to legislators on Capitol Hill can and will make a difference. Collectively, Local Science Partners Ambassadors will help to amplify science and its worth and help both policymakers and the broader community see that our nation continues to support and benefit from our scientific enterprise. With the help of their community of peers and AGU&#8217;s resources, our Ambassadors will be able to successfully leverage their expertise to support legislation that will benefit humanity and the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.agu.org\/-\/media\/Feature\/Common\/Agu\/Images\/Logo\/AGU_Trademarked_logo_590.png?h=50&amp;mh=50&amp;w=250&amp;hash=AE04DC42B2A3A3D0FDFC4319153B1DC2\" alt=\"AGU Trademark logo\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080\"><a style=\"color: #808080\" href=\"https:\/\/www.agu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.agu.org\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"color: #808080\">\u00a0March 2023<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;FACULTY SPOTLIGHT&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;720px&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;8px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;3em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|20px|10px|20px|false|false&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#EFEFEF&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #808080\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9341 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/sees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/124\/2023\/08\/PHOTO-2023-07-13-15-04-16-2-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"334\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 188px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 188\/334;\" \/><\/span><\/h1>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/sees\/pedro-val\/\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Pedro Val<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080\">Assistant Professor Tectonic Geomorphology of School of Earth and Environmental Sciences<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #808080\"> Queens College, CUNY<br \/><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080\">Pedro Val : &#8220;<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080\">In the Science paper, we gathered our learnings from t<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080\">he Amazon Report and compared the rates of human activities to those of Amazon ecosystems.
