The principal investigators are at 7 colleges/universities within a 20-mile radius of New York City (NYC and Northern New Jersey), as well as the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies. The program supports research in Earth Science, Space Science, and Space Technology. Research investigations include: Sea Surface Temperature and Precipitation in the West African Monsoon, Urban Heat Island: Sun and Rain Effects, Decadal Changes in Aerosol and Asthma, Variations in Salinity and River Discharge in the Hudson River Estuary, Environmental Change in the Hudson Estuary Wetlands, Verification of Winter Storm Scale Developed for Nor’easters, Solar Weather and Tropical Cyclone Activity, Tropospheric and Stratospheric Ozone Investigation in Metropolitan NYC, Aerosol Optical Depth through use of a MFRSR, Detection of Concentration in the Atmosphere Using a Quantum Cascade Laser System, Optimization Model for Future Lunar Colony, Models of Space Travel, and NMR Investigation of MnO2 Infused Carbon Nanofoams. We describe student research, significant results and enrichment activities during the Summer 2010. The NYCRI partners with the CUNY-GISS Center for Global Climate Change, an NSF REU Site. The NYCRI is supported by NASAâ^À^Ùs Earth Science Office, GSFC Education Office, as well as NASA and NSF awards to NYCRI College/University Principal Investigators.
