Fwd: Institute for a Sustainable Environment Newsletter

by Alex French

Angela has been putting together a nice newsletter for the ISE that includes news, events, and opportunities. If anyone would like to sign up for it email arodrigu(a)clarkson.edu. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Clarkson ISE <arodrigu(a)clarkson.edu> Date: Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 3:43 PM Subject: Institute for a Sustainable Environment Newsletter To: <afrench(a)clarkson.edu> January 9, 2020 Institute for a Sustainable Environment News & Events January 9, 2020 Note from the Director It is great when we can celebrate research successes! In December, Governor Cuomo established a challenge between Clarkson and SUNY ESF to develop a process prototype for emergency harmful algal bloom (HAB) mitigation. To respond, Yang Yang (Assistant Professor in Civil and Environ. Engrg.) and his graduate student ShaSha Yang (unrelated) are working on a very fast-paced project to develop a process technology that could be deployed to mitigate HAB outbreaks. The process uses electrochemical oxidation to kill cyanobacteria and eliminate cytotoxins that are released by the organisms. As the photos show (see here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mGa0Rt-ucv92V-CN6iWkT-laKG3viUEnM76BLmv1Q_Hh…>), the process works in the lab! The larger-scale prototype has been manufactured and is on its way to Clarkson with projected delivery January 31, 2020. Profs. Stefan Grimberg and Michael Twiss have supported Yang's effort. This support - especially to help a new faculty colleague to succeed - is to be commended!

The Institute was awarded $39,459 to develop new and updated exhibits, curriculum, and programs about the Hudson River Estuary, its watershed, and fish and wildlife for visitors and Beacon schools. The upgrades will allow the facility to serve more visitors and students. The project will use place-based education about the estuary to promote knowledge of the ecosystem, mastery of skills required by New York State Learning Standards, and participation in community science and stewardship activities.
