Healthy Living in Smart Cities
Urban communities face major sustainability challenges that affect public health and quality of life, including snarled traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution. The researchers will design a comprehensive information infrastructure:…
After the Conifers Die
…die? Wildfires often follow, along with pollution and habitat changes that allow parasites to spread, and the whole ecosystem suffers the consequences: plants, birds and mammals, and human beings. Based…
Analysis of Carbon Dioxide Removal Policy Impact Pathways (CATF)
…cost-effectiveness and impact of various CDR policy options, including nature-based (e.g., afforestation, soil carbon sequestration), hybrid (e.g., biomass carbon removal and storage), and engineered solutions (e.g., direct air capture). This…
New Sales Approach for Improved Cookstoves
Half the world cooks on inefficient wood and charcoal stoves. Improved cookstoves can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and deforestation and save households the substantial cost of buying or gathering fuel,…
Juan Pablo Jordán (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology)
…prevalent antagonists like pathogens and herbivores, but in most cases come at a great environmental cost. Seed chemical treatments are inconspicuous pesticides applied to the seed’s outer coating comprising a…
Climate Change, Adaptation, and Just Transitions in the Global Fashion Industry
…adaptation efforts, in addition to decarbonization. Researchers propose pilots in five apparel factories in climate-vulnerable Bangladesh to test and cost firm-level adaptation investments. What combinations of factory-level investments/interventions work to…
Bacteriophages for the Dairy Industry
…clinical trial on 900 dairy cows, leading to an economic model for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of phage therapy for commercial dairy farms. This research promises to harness the antibacterial power…
Carbon Sequestration Risk Analysis
…the oil industry’s successful engineered disposal of carbon dioxide suggest that GCS is safe, public concern continues about injected carbon dioxide causing air or groundwater contamination. This project will develop…
Using Artificial Intelligence for Reducing Food Waste in Commercial Kitchens
Worldwide, one-third of all food produced for human consumption goes to waste. In the hospitality and food-service industry alone, the cost of wasted food is over $100 billion per year….
Methanotrophic Biofilters for Mitigating Methane Emissions From Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells
…as low-cost and readily-scalable technologies to sustainably mitigate methane emissions from abandoned wells. This research will combine laboratory experiments with field-based measurements of abandoned wells in western New York to…
