Collaboration on climate research in state unique
Abstract:
Kansas University researchers are working with other schools across the state on four problems related to climate change and energy use in Kansas.
The $20 million project funded through the National Science Foundation is one of the few funded projects looking at both climate and energy.
Kristin Bowman-James, a distinguished professor of chemistry at KU, is coordinating the $20 million project.
The collection of engineers, scientists and social scientists will collaborate across universities and disciplines to accomplish four major goals. Researchers from KU, Kansas State University, Wichita State University and Haskell Indian Nations University are involved.
Judy Wu, distinguished professor of physics at KU, is leading a project that will examine the use of nanotechnology in solar power.
