New Degree

Image

The most pressing environmental issues -- such as greenhouse gas emissions and the overuse of disposable plastics -- can be traced back to human decisions. In addressing these issues it is vital to understand both the scientific and policy aspects that impact the planet. A new Bachelor of Science degree program in Environmental Science and Sustainability will prepare students to tackle both of these challenges.

Phosphate Removal Tech

Image

Two Clarkson professors have been awarded $749,000 by the Department of Agriculture to develop a filtration system to capture and recover phosphate from tile drainage and reduce the phosphate burden on watersheds. This sorbent and field-ready system will decrease environmental impact and provide a renewable phosphate supply, improving the sustainability of agricultural practices.

Children's Respiratory Particle Emissions

Image

An article by a Clarkson research team, recently published in the journal Aerosol Science and Technology, explains their findings that age influences the size and quantity of respiratory particle emissions in humans during activities, with children releasing fewer and smaller particles than adults. Thus, incorporating age demographics into disease transmission models may improve their accuracy.
