Bio 

Hi there!! My name is Martin, and I'm thrilled to be a '27 blogger for People Places Pines! A small rural town in Maine called Veazie is where I call home, and I can't wait to tell you about what life at Dartmouth is like! Carving the slopes in the winter, hiking through woods in autumn, or basking in the Green in spring and summer, that's where you'll find me! Stay tuned for everything Big Green!

Martin's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: BIOL 16: Ecology

      In this course, we covered all the basics of ecology: how organisms interact with each other and with their ecosystems. My favorite parts of the class were the labs: they took place outside and we explored ecological concepts around campus!

    • WinterHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: EARS 21: Transforming Energy Systems

      This course was on everything energy: how we use it, how we generate it, and how we can improve our current energy systems in light of climate change. We visited nearby energy systems, including Dartmouth's very own heating and energy facilities. This course was awesome!

    • SpringHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: ENGS 21: Intro to Engineering

      This was a project-based class where we chose an important issue and then designed a solution, using the principles and methods we learned in class. My group made a smart trash can to make recycling easier!

My Classes this Spring (24S): Physics 14, Intro to Engineering, and Nature-Based Solutions

As my first year (and first spring) at Dartmouth had come to an end, I wanted to provide some thoughts and reflections on my classes this term. Perhaps you'll find something you'd like to take someday!

Transforming Energy Systems (EARS 21) and Dartmouth's Energy Future

This term, I've been taking a class called "Transforming Energy Systems: Keeping the Lights on While Saving the Planet." It's an awesome class where we've been taking field trips and learning about Dartmouth's energy future. Read more about it here!
