Institute for a Sustainable Environment Newsletter: January 2024
Message From the Director
At the top of this month's Institute for a Sustainable Environment Newsletter is news of our new undergraduate degree program in environmental science and sustainability. It's a revision of our environmental science & policy degree, with concentrations to allow students to focus within the broad field of environmental science and sustainability. We also have lots of news about research by our ISE faculty and affiliated faculty, as well as students. I hope that you enjoy reading about their accomplishments below.

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.

Going for Gold
Image
Eight students have been deeply involved in the recertification of New York State’s Olympic Region as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) community. The students are helping the Olympic Regional Development Authority, the Village of Lake Placid, the Town of North Elba and the Lake Placid Central School District go for sustainability gold as they look to recertify using the latest LEED rating system.

DoD Supports PFAS Treatment
A Clarkson team has been awarded a $1.2 million Department of Defense grant to scale up an integrated treatment system to destroy PFAS in sediments. The system includes mechanochemical ball milling, which destroys PFAS in soils and sediments, followed by soil washing and plasma treatment.

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.

Coulter School of Engineering Newsletter: January 2024
Message From the Dean
Major government support for our research on cleansing the environment of contaminants – like PFAS in soil, phosphate in our watersheds and organohalogens in our waste streams – tops our Coulter School of Engineering Newsletter this month. You'll also find an interesting article on respiratory emissions by children, as well as accomplishments by our students and our celebration of 50 years of the Society of Women Engineers here at Clarkson. Please enjoy reading about the achievements of our students and faculty.

Dehalogenating Waste Streams
Image
Prof. Selma Mededovic Thagard has been awarded a $422,000 National Science Foundation grant for her research on the dehalogenation of waste streams using electrical discharge plasma. Dehalogenation of waste streams is at the forefront of the major engineering challenges facing society, with more than 10,000 organohalogens impacting the environment.

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.
