Research Opportunities and Educational Collaboration in
Engineering, Environment and Natural Resources
Research funding is
most readily available at the interfaces between disciplines, as national
funding agencies encourage interdisciplinary studies. Research universities
must adapt to this model to thrive. Similarly, the lines between traditional
disciplines are blurring as disciplines evolve through the introduction of new
scientific knowledge. Scientists and engineers in environmentally-related
fields are uniquely positioned to collaborate on a broad range of issues, and
across numerous interfaces. This presentation will focus on research and
educational opportunities in the general field of environmental sciences and
engineering, with specific emphasis on earth, atmosphere, climate, water, and
the influence of human activities on the environment.
