Second-year SEAS PhD student Hana Manjusak’s research explores post-war reconstruction and focuses specifically on landmine clearance in Bosnia, a country that is one of the most mine contaminated places in the world and home to her family.
New research led by Xiaofeng Liu, a postdoctoral researcher at SEAS, reveals that communities of color in Texas face higher risks of E. coli exposure in nearby waters after storms cause extreme levels of precipitation.
SEAS master's student Sarah Meadows discusses a new climate target that former President Biden set just a month before leaving office. She discusses the details of the target, which would bring a 61-66 percent reduction in 2035 from 2005 levels in economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the potential to make progress toward the goal under the Trump administration.
The North American Great Lakes are a massive and precious system of five lakes that hold around 20 percent of the Earth’s freshwater, but did you know there’s an even larger system of Great Lakes in Africa? Like many of us, this was a less-explored topic for Ted Lawrence (MS ’05/PHD ’15) who, when pursuing a master’s degree at SEAS, landed an internship at the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. It was here he was exposed to research on Lake Victoria, one of the seven African Great Lakes, and what set him on the path he’s on today, supporting African scientists, and especially women scientists, working on freshwater.
