…increasingly threatened by intensifying drought. This project investigates how tropical tree species with differing successional strategies adjust their intrinsic water use efficiency during short- and long-term droughts. Using the Luquillo…
Aneesh Chandel (Soil & Crop Sciences)
…student in the Luo lab at Cornell University whose research focuses on improving the model representation of plant-mediated water distribution between soil layers as a control on the functions of…
The Role of Nitrogen in Toxic Blooms in the Finger Lakes
Toxic cyanobacteria blooms are increasing globally. Since 2015, several Finger Lakes have experienced blooms for the first time, threatening lake health and sustainable use for drinking water and recreation. These…

…and structure that repel water. These materials are designed for high CO2 capture capacities and efficient regeneration. The proposed approach addresses key challenges in CO2 capture technologies, such as effective…
What Causes Brown Tides?
Harmful algal blooms (HABs)—often brown or red—are increasing worldwide, spurred by global warming, industrial development, and agriculture. HABs pose a serious threat to fish and aquatic plants, depleting drinking water…
Benjamin Johnson (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology)
Ben Johnson is a Ph.D. candidate in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, working in the labs of Jeremy Searle and Jed Sparks. His research combines evolutionary genetics and physiological ecology to…
