🌊 Advancing Environmental Science with AI 🌊 UConn researchers are using machine learning to model "dead zones" in lakes -- oxygen-deprived areas that can lead to fish mortality, water quality issues, and other harmful environmental and economic impacts. This work is crucial for understanding and mitigating the impacts of these zones on aquatic ecosystems. By applying advanced AI techniques, researchers are providing valuable insights that will inform better management and conservation practices. https://lnkd.in/eK9-GWz7 #UConnResearch #UConn #Research #MachineLearning #EnvironmentalScience #Conservation

With an award of $3.4 million from the U.S. Department of Education, UConn researchers are launching “Project Focus” to increase nationwide recognition of gifted students. https://lnkd.in/eXsgX6P8 “Project Focus is really all about supporting teachers in how they engage in questioning and discussion in the classroom, as a way of giving more students access to the opportunity to engage in high-level discussion about what they’re learning,” says project PI Catherine Little, a professor in the UConn Neag School of Education who specializes in giftedness, creativity, and talent development.
