A friend of mine works as a lake conservationist treating local bodies of water for imbalances and other issues. He has told me that one of our local lakes has such a problem with salinity (from road salting) that there are layers forming beneath the surface. It would be interesting for students to think about how and why the salinity is being impacted, why layers are forming, its effects on the ecosystem beneath the surface, and potentially how to improve it or mitigate salinity increases. - Lisa Rao

1.) The first phenomena would be how the weather here on LI is different than that seen even as close as NJ or NYC do to heat transfer, temp of the ocean water etc. I use This often in class and is a great way for students to understand why the weather differs so much in such a short range.

2.) The second would be to use one of the variety of issues in Stillwell park which is rights next door to our campus. The specific issue I'm thinking of is the environmental degradation that happens from the activities there.
