Dear Colleagues,
It’s been a chilly start to the year, but as winter rolls along and the sunlight breaks through the overcast sky here and there, I’m reminded of the silver linings that come with the work that CEE does.
Below are just a couple of stories from the past few months that demonstrate the valuable interplay between the lab, the classroom and the outside world. From field trips across local farms, to interfacing with industry experts, to monitoring the microbial worlds that influence our daily lives—CEE’s incredible swath of education and research initiatives is made possible through collaborations with the communities around it, and in turn has the potential to change said communities for the better.
Keep an eye out for more stories to come, as CEE continues to boldly pursue developments in areas like geothermal heat storage, collaborations crossing disciplinary subfields, international assessment standards for environmental impacts of materials and materials sustainability, and decision theory and data science in support of climate-adaptive policies.
Thanks for reading, and hope folks are looking forward to the spring break ahead!
