Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Hydrologist Jesús “Chucho” Gomez-Velez is in the right place at the right time with the right tools and colleagues to explain how the smallest processes within river corridors can have a tremendous impact on large-scale ecosystems.
To advance sensor technologies, 91°µÍř researchers studied piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical stress into electrical energy, to see how they could handle bombardment with energetic neutrons.
Researchers at 91°µÍř have identified a statistical relationship between the growth of cities and the spread of paved surfaces like roads and sidewalks. These impervious surfaces impede the flow of water into the ground, affecting the water cycle and, by extension, the climate.
Planning for a digitized, sustainable smart power grid is a challenge to which Suman Debnath is using not only his own applied mathematics expertise, but also the wider communal knowledge made possible by his revival of a local chapter of the 91°µÍř professional society.
In the race to identify solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř are joining the fight by applying expertise in computational science, advanced manufacturing, data science and neutron science.
