To do this, the city has had to clean up and " green " these spaces. We call this process green gentrification. It is led by the green growth machine—public officials and private investors who appropriate unre-vitalized environmental resources (like the waterfront), restore them, develop them, and repackage them for sale to the sustainability class. The sustainability class is well-educated, holds overt sustainability oriented values, can afford sustainability themed consumption, and touts their green urbanism (such as living on the waterfront or near green spaces) to brand their lifestyle. In Brooklyn, in addition to green gentrification along the rivers, there has been green gentrification along the Gowanus Canal. The Gowanus is in the process of being transformed from a 1.8 mile long toxic industrial canal, lined with light industry and low-and middle-income residents, to the " Venice of Brooklyn. " In 2010, the canal gained " Super-fund " status (a federal designation for priority hazardous waste site remediation), which enabled the promise of a long-term clean up to make way for a Whole Foods, condo-minium development, and the sustainability class drawn to the revitalized and greened waterfront. Ironically, the green growth machine, while ostensibly creating more environmentally sustainable urban spaces, increases development and settlement in flood prone areas, a problematic trend given the growing threat of climate change. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy pushed a 13-foot storm surge into New York Harbor, destroyed housing on Staten Island, the Rockaways, and elsewhere, and left thousands of New Yorkers without shelter, heat, power, and functional transportation infrastructure for months. In Brooklyn, the storm surge pushed the sea up the Gowanus Canal sending sewage-laden waters over the banks, up the streets, and into the basements and ground floors of residential, industrial, and commercial spaces of the Gowanus neighborhood. Floodwater spread out more than a block on either side of the canal, submerging the proposed sites for luxury condo developments in flood zone A (a FEMA designation for areas most at risk for flooding). Flooding and power outages took the Gowanus Canal pumping station off line for 33 hours, causing 13 million gallons of untreated sewage to discharge into the floodwaters that covered the neighborhood. As the flood receded the following day, the stench of

The authors present an assessment of their short-term study abroad program, Environmental and Cultural Conservation in Latin America. The authors show that STSA programs appeal to students not currently choosing to go abroad. The authors use four specific strategies to create outcomes that allow them to meet some of the goals of longer term study abroad. These strategies include (a) making links to campus coursework, (b) conducting community-based research, (c) participating in community service learning, and (d) emphasizing research skills and interdisciplinary connections. The assessment showed that STSA resulted in altered course of study, subsequent travel or study abroad, increased interest in interdisciplinary studies, and influenced perceptions regarding globalization.
