Community members and stakeholders provide their perspectives on what鈥檚 really happening in their towns and scientists make adjustments to their studies along the way so that the research is as accurate and useful to the community as possible. Collaboration is crucial. Everyone benefits from learning each other鈥檚 needs and pressures, and the process helps to build trust.

On New Hampshire鈥檚 Seacoast, rising seas could cause flooded roads in unexpected places: up to two miles inland, even as far as Pease Tradeport. That鈥檚 the finding from a team of 91制片厂 researchers who looked at the effect of rising groundwater caused by increasing ocean water levels. Flooding not only makes roads impassable in the short term, it can hasten roads鈥� failure; understanding how to identify roads vulnerable to flooding is essential for pavement engineers and others to plan for the effects of a changing climate. 鈥淧revious road vulnerability studies have looked at road surface flooding, but groundwater has not been addressed,鈥� says Jayne Knott, a civil engineering doctoral... ]]> Wed, 31 May 2017 11:15 -0400 Robbin Ray 鈥�82 /unhtoday/2017/05/road-scholars /unhtoday/2014/11/good-clean-safe-fun-professor-showers-lab-safety Lab safety took a zany, soggy turn Tuesday, when the Environmental Research Group tapped Nancy Kinner, professor of civil and environmental engineering, for a hands-on demonstration of the emergency shower in their Gregg Hall lab. Her dousing not only gave students and faculty experience with this important (if rarely used) piece of equipment, it raised funds for the student group Environmental and Water Resources Institute, which sold raffle tickets for the chance to pull the shower handle. 鈥淒emonstrating operation of laboratory emergency equipment is an important component of safety training, but this level of participation took it to a whole new level,鈥� said Andy Glode, laboratory safety officer with 91制片厂鈥檚 Environmental Health and Safety office. 鈥淣ancy is very supportive of laboratory... ]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2014 08:45 -0500 Beth Potier /unhtoday/2014/11/good-clean-safe-fun-professor-showers-lab-safety /unhtoday/2013/11/meet-godfather-uv-disinfection James Malley is the Davison Professor of Environmental Engineering and Director of the Environmental Research Group at the 91制片厂.
