Recent News:

August 2010: Welcome to new graduate students Nick Pasco (MS, ERE, Ecological Engineering), Daria Medicis (MPS, ERE, Environmental Management) and Jordan Gross (MS, GPES).

June 2010: Michael Amadori (MS 2011) is pursuing thesis research involving nutrient fluxes in aquaponics systems. Michael's research will combine elements of ecological engineering with horticulture to reduce the discharge of nitrogen to the environment.

May 2010: Deborah Ofori (MS, 2010) completed her thesis examining Heat and Water Fluxes in a Willow-based Alternative Landfill Cover System.

April 2010: Students from engineering and landscape arcitecture combined efforts in a semester-long design studio to develop a plan for improving two former paper mill sites in Lyons Falls, NY and Groveton, NH. Student design included aquaponics, a combined hyrdoponics and aquaculture system, as a method to increase the supply of locally grown food, and to take advantage of transporation infrastructure to convey fresh produce to markets in New York City. The SUNY Center for Brownfield Studies is pursuing the long-term redevelopment strategy for the Groveton site.
