  • Professors Rose McKenney (Geosciences and Environmental Studies) and Adela Ramos (English) had the honor of working with this year's class of Environmental Studies students as they completed their

    communities of color. The spatial distribution of these neighborhoods is shaped by policy via land-use regulations. To explore the relationship between the distribution of environmental ‘bads’ and environmental ‘goods’, I conducted a case study in Richmond, California, which is where I grew up. I compared two different neighborhoods: The Iron Triangle and Marina Bay. These two neighborhoods have differing demographics and income levels. Utilizing the disciplines of Physical Geography/Human Geomorphology
