Research Areas:
The Center for Energy and Environmental Studies (CEES) was established to promote interdisciplinary research, coordinate environmental and energy curricula development activities, provide services to diverse public audiences, and participate in the public arena where energy and environmental issues are concerned. These objectives are addressed through basic, applied, and policy research projects, sponsorship of workshops, seminars, and conferences for students, professionals, and the general public. Such media facilitates technology transfer to affect the state of the environment. CEES focuses special emphasis on local environmental challenges, including Brownsfields reclamation, and air and water pollution in the vicinity of the University and its neighboring community. The Center has a multidisciplinary thrust involving a core staff of civil, environmental education, environmental toxicology, and water resources engineering.
Areas of Expertise:
CEES is a multidisciplinary unit and as such is afforded the
additional expertise of faculty and staff in the various colleges
and schools of the University. Area of expertise include: Risk
Assessment, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), ecology,
business and forest management, experimental statistics, global
climate change assessment, energy economics, environmental
toxicology, and water resources engineering.
Special Capabilities and Facilities:
The strength of the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies staff and its affiliates lie in the various science, engineering, and mathematics departments. Additional relevant expertise is found in Public Policy, Economics, Law, Sociology, and Agriculture Sciences. By bringing the various departments together, working in an interdisciplinary manner, effectively enhances the capability of CEES. CEES and its affiliates have access to the various experimental testing and computing locations on campus. A comprehensive environmental laboratory, funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, via the Samuel P. Massie Chair is one example. Computational facilities capable of handling complex flow modeling are also present.
