As Earth's climate continues to change rapidly, more #ClimateSolutions will need to be weighed.
IPE-affiliated faculty helped launch a high school #ClimateEngineering Teaching Module.
In 15 high school classrooms, students have considered its potential, trade-offs, & risks.
To prepare the next generation of environmental & sustainability leaders, IPE-affiliated faculty support students at every level.
Read what they learned in the first 3 years teaching Climate Engineering in Indiana classrooms in the paper @HASTIsci: buff.ly/3LlWblU
Proud to support McKinney Climate Fellows like Rania!
This summer, McKinney Climate Fellow Rania Jamal, a grad student with @IUONeill, is helping @StellarRichmond develop a tree planting plan to guide canopy restoration efforts in the community.
