Tracks in the Environment core explore innovative ways to keep our air clean, fresh water abundant, crops resilient to climate change, and human lives safe at the intersection of climate and health. Combine scientific inquiry and engineering principles for clean energy, coastal resilience, and applying nature-based solutions for carbon and nutrient dynamics in the biosphere.
Core in the area of Environmental Engineering Science with a focus on atmospheric chemistry and climate
