By Douglas Esser
\nJessica Kunder\u2019s favorite tree on the University of Washington Bothell \/ Cascadia College campus \u2014 and she\u2019s examined every single one \u2014 is the Pacific madrone or madrona, an elegantly branching West Coast native with smooth peeling bark in shades of pink and orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的re are three madronas bordering the west side of campus that Kunder encountered as she surveyed the more than 500 trees on the upper campus in a research project with Associate Professor Warren Gold, an environmental scientist in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences. Kunder\u2019s research has been recognized with a Mary Gates scholarship<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 work builds on an earlier survey to build a database of the size and location of every tree on campus more than six inches in diameter. With a computer model called i-Tree<\/a>, users can quantify the value of each tree in terms of the carbon it holds, the oxygen it produces and the pollutants it filters out of runoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methodically measuring each tree \u2014 sometimes in the rain and cold, sometimes in the sun with hummingbirds whirring around \u2014 gave Kunder a deeper appreciation for nature than she had in 2106 when she and her boyfriend moved from Florida to Washington. After transferring from the University of South Florida, one of her first classes at UW Bothell was Pacific Northwest Ecosystems with Gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou look around at the species of plants that are growing under this tree canopy, and you understand they are under there because of the light conditions they need. Everything just makes sense where it is. It gave me an appreciation for nature,\u201d said Kunder, who graduates in June with a degree in biology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kunder\u2019s long-term career goals are in medicine, perhaps in epidemiology. But she doesn\u2019t see her path through the campus trees as a diversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad I chose something that\u2019s not directly related to my goal of going into medicine because I never would have this valuable appreciation for nature and how important it is for mental health and sustaining this world around us,\u201d Kunder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 experience also taught her \u201chow capable I am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re able to answer questions and explore and use tools you haven\u2019t used before. And you\u2019re able to take that information and connect with people in a way you never thought was possible,\u201d Kunder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 Mary Gates scholarship made it possible for Kunder to refine the research, said Gold, who agrees the majestic madrona is one of the most beautiful trees on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kunder thanks both Gold and Tyson Kemper, a grounds supervisor on campus, for their guidance. She also credits the Mary Gates scholarship for reducing her job stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s helped me become more focused on my work,\u201d Kunder said. “It\u2019s also an incredible honor. I\u2019m really grateful to the endowment and the state of Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
