Welcome to my curation site for the emerging science of sustainability.
Here you will find an array of stories, examples, relevant cautionary tales, and data related to our hunt for a more sustainable economy with a reduced ecological footprint. While my students, colleagues and I are interested in all aspects of sustainability, these pages have an historc emphasis on:
- human population growth rates/demography
- product design/construction, especially:
- triple bottomline
- life cycle analyses (LCA)
- sustainable supply chains
- carbon footprints (especially carbon "finprints" of seafood)
- food production/distribution systems
- energy production/storage systems, especially:
- dams and flow diversions
- wind turbines
- tidal power
- solar panel efficiency/material advances
- fuel cell design/material advances
- general building design/construction, especially:
- green roof/wall construction and plant palletes
- lighting systems
- elegant design
- redevelopment/reuse
- urban planning
- role of mobile technology in fostering sustainability
- elegant and effective communication
Thanks for visiting. Please enjoy and let me know if I can answer any questions or be of any other help.
