In May, the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) launched a web-based tool to assist with the potential siting of solar projects and further the goal of increasing our state's supply of zero-carbon energy. CREST provides free access to various layers of state, federal, and institutional data – demographic, forestry, geology, land use, water, wildlife, and more – that can be used by municipal planners, solar developers, conservation organizations, members of the public, and others to visualize where renewable energy best fits into Connecticut's diverse landscape. Learn more about CREST and how to use it from the developers of the tool at DEEP with input from UConn-CLEAR, primary partners with DEEP on the CREST.

The Oceanic Melville art exhibition was created in collaboration with Mary K. Bercaw Edwards, University of Connecticut Professor of English and Director of Maritime Studies, and Robert K. Wallace, Northern Kentucky University Regents Professor of English. The artworks in Oceanic Melville, which focus on Melville's novel Moby-Dick, include painting, drawing, artist books, print, and sculpture by artists from Greece, France, England, Canada, Turkey, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, and California. In genre, medium, and style, these artworks are as varied as the chapters in Melville's Moby-Dick. The artworks oscillate, as Melville's verbal aesthetic does, through all gradations from figurative to abstract. The artworks in the exhibition are on loan from the Melville Society and the Elizabeth Schultz Collection at the New Bedford Whaling Museum.Oceanic Melvilleexhibition dates: June 5 – June 19, 2025. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday 12-4 pm, with additional hours to view the exhibition during the conference on Monday June 16, and Tuesday June 17 also from 12-4pm.
