Since 2022, undergraduates from the University of Notre Dame have been engaged in research within the corridor. The corridor provides a unique opportunity for students to engage in study of nearby natural areas while connecting with the local community. Sam Bosio (Environmental Sciences [ES] 2022) started research with a frog monitoring project at Lydick Bog for his Sustainability Minor. Thad Lipiniski (ES 2025) continued the frog monitoring project for his undergraduate research but expanded it throughout the corridor (South Bend Tribune article linked here). Most recently, the research group has expanded to three students who are studying a broad set of topics that collectively establish differences among wetlands across the corridor, as well as a baseline for how those locations change over months and years into the future. Specific topics include, first, continuing amphibian monitoring in the corridor, especially in the context of noise pollution (Hannah Hartnett, ES 2027). Second, how land use has specifically impacted wetlands within the corridor (Isabella Rempel, ES 2027). Third, insect biodiversity throughout the corridor using bioacoustic monitoring (Jayden Meredith, Biological Sciences 2027). Support for these projects comes from the College of Science (University of Notre Dame), Wildlife Acoustics, and many public and private landowners within the corridor.
