How does Temperature Affect Initial Leaf Growth of Maple Trees in New York?
What impact do warming temperatures have on New York’s maple trees? Norway Maples bloom earlier, while Red and Sugar Maples show weaker trends. Explore how climate change disrupts nature’s timing!

Comparing Chronic Lower Respiratory (CLR) Disease Mortality Rates to Air Quality/Pollution and Public Transportation Usage Across 5 States
In this project we have compared chronic lower respiratory disease mortality rates to the use of public transportation, air quality index, and air pollution(mg/meter3) per state in order to find out whether there is an existing correlation between these and CLR disease mortality rates.
