Thirteen Nicholas School of the Environment undergraduate students have earned Graduation with Distinction honors for 2022.

In recent years, owing to increasing population and urbanization, the global demand for water and the need to address the cost implications of maintaining aging infrastructure are among the major motivating factors for growth in the smart water management market.

A forest’s ability to regenerate after devastating wildfires, droughts or other disturbances depends largely on seed production. Findings from two new studies led by ���Ĵ�ý researchers could boost recovery and replanting after these disasters by providing foresters with new guidance on which trees species produce more seeds and how their productivity can vary from location to location.

Sometimes things are fine—until they’re not. A boat capsizes. A bridge collapses. The stock market takes an extreme turn. These are examples of “catastrophe theory,” a tool in mathematics that can be used to describe a set of variables that combine, at a specific point, to completely change a system. It’s a framework that can be applied to a variety of scenarios, and now a University of Georgia scientist wants to use it to better understand how plants use water and respond to drought.

Seven 2022 Master of Environmental Management (MEM) graduates of ���Ĵ�ý’s Nicholas School of the Environment share this year’s Virlis L. Fischer Memorial Award for academic achievement.

Human activities such as marsh draining for agriculture and logging are increasingly eating away at saltwater and freshwater wetlands that cover only 1% of Earth’s surface but store more than 20% of all the climate-warming carbon dioxide absorbed by ecosystems worldwide. A new study published May 5 in Science by a team of Dutch, American and German scientists shows that it’s not too late to reverse the losses.

“Daddy, you’re on TV!” my daughter exclaimed, her face glowing with excitement and pride. We were at ���Ĵ�ý’s Perkins Library, where I was featured in an exhibition about the institution’s Latin community. It was a far cry from my first visit to the library 6 years earlier, soon after I came to the United States to pursue my graduate education.

The town at the heart of cranberry country has about 300 acres of solar farms, with roughly 500 acres more in the works. So why are some people so unhappy about it?

Billions of birds are disappearing because of humanity’s impact on Earth, global review finds

Kate Hoffman, an assistant research professor at ���Ĵ�ý’s Nicholas School of the Environment, has received a $3.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the impact of early-life exposures to semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) on neonatal and early childhood immune function.
