Climate

Rodrigo Vargas, who specializes in soil-plant-atmosphere interactions, is collaborating with the U.S. Forest Service and multiple institutions in Mexico to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation.

From remote sensing satellites in space, to pocket-sized instruments that detect minute quantities of trace elements, to microscopes and genetic sequencers that register changes in the microbial ecosystem, researchers affiliated with DENIN are employing every tool at their disposal to investigate the changes taking place on our planet due to climate change.

From changes in the carbon cycle to changes in the frequency and severity of storms and droughts, we are looking at the science of climate change on multiple spatial and temporal scales. Researchers are busy in the tropics and in the polar regions as well as right here in Delaware to understand changes that are taking place now and potential changes yet to come, as well as ways to ameliorate these effects through engineering or policy solutions. Research into alternative energy sources including wind, biofuels, and fuel cells as well as technologies for more efficient use of traditional energy sources such as electric vehicles is also being conducted by those affiliated with DENIN.
