Episode Intro: Ross Chambless: Many believe that chemistry is foundational to understanding and solving environmental challenges. And when it comes to solving a pernicious global environmental problem – such as methane emissions – it may be basic chemistry research that ultimately leads society to innovative breakthroughs. Methane (𝐻4) is a potent greenhouse gas. It is the main component of natural gas and is released through human activities like fossil fuel production, agriculture, and from...

28: Conversation with the Water Resources Hackathon 1st Place Team "SmartFLOW"
The Wilkes Center recently hosted its 3rd annual climate solutions hackathon at the end of January. This year the focus was water resources. The “hackathon” as we’ve come to call it – borrowing the term from the computer coding world – is an intense problem-solving competition where we challenge U of U undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline to team-up and develop proposals in a slide deck within 24 hours. We asked students to propose an innovative, data-driven solution ...
