Check out this new paper — led by grad affiliate Sebastian Muñoz, with IBES and DEEPS profs @danibarra.bsky.social & Laurence Smith, postdoc Gavin Piccione, grad affiliate Sarah Esenther, and @uafairbanks.bsky.social colleagues — in @agu.org's Geophysical Research Letters ⤵️
As Brown moves toward a pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the University will take a major step toward decarbonization and energy resiliency by creating a modern, sustainable thermal energy system on its College Hill campus.
This week on Possibly, in the second installment of our series on the dairy industry, we’re turning our attention to an age-old method used to efficiently store cheese: the earth.
Listen to this week's episode to hear how local farmers are looking to the soil to keep their cheese cool.
Congratulations to ENVS concentrators Riley Brooks '28 & Julia Sayre '27, who won apprenticeships with the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund this summer!
Through ASLF, Brooks will work at @snugharborccbg.bsky.social and Sayre will work at Blackeyed Susan’s Sheep Dairy.
