Environment and Sustainability

Parth Vaishnav

I focus on performing economic and environmental benefit-cost analyses of aspects of the energy transition, including the electrification of buildings and transportation. I use physics-based models (e.g., of building and vehicle energy use), optimization, and processed based cost models. Some of my projects involve building computationally-light surrogates of physics- and process-based models. I also do ...

Dimitris Gounaridis

In the coming years, I plan to advance the integration of geospatial data science (GDS), remote sensing, and machine learning to study the spatial and temporal dynamics of forest-based carbon systems. Working with a team of talented students, we are developing a novel, spatially explicit model of forest dependency that links forest carbon dynamics with ...

Nathaniel Geiger

Nathaniel Geiger is an assistant professor in the Behavior, Education and Communication specialization. He joined SEAS from Indiana University, where he was an assistant professor of communication science at The Media School. Geiger conducts experimental and survey research in lab, field and online settings that examines how people become motivated and empowered to take action ...

Anne McNeil

Our research aims to address some of the world’s biggest challenges through chemical recycling of waste plastics, developing methods to capture microplastics, measuring microplastics in the environment, and designing redox-active molecules for energy storage applications.

Benjamin Goldstein

Benjamin Goldstein is Assistant Professor of Environment and Sustainability and head of the Sustainable Urban-Rural Futures (SURF) lab. The SURF Lab (www.surf-lab.ca) studies and emphasizes urban sustainability at multiple scales. Through his work at the SURF Lab, Benjamin helps understand how urban processes and urban form drive the consumption of materials and energy in cities ...

Peter Reich

Reich conducts global change research on plants, soils, ecosystems and people across a range of scales. His work links fundamental physiology with community dynamics and ecosystem structure and function, from the patch to the globe, within the context of the myriad of global environmental challenges that face us. This includes studying the effects on natural ...

Derek Van Berkel

Dr. Van Berkel is an assistant professor at The University of Michigan, School for Environment and Sustainability. His research focuses on understanding land change at diverse scales; the physical and psychological benefit of exposure to natural environments; and how digital visualization of data can add new place-based knowledge in science and community decision-making. He has ...

Brian Weeks

In the Weeks lab, we work at the intersection of ecology and evolutionary biology to try to understand how large scale biodiversity patterns arose, and what they might tell us about how natural systems will respond to human activities. We have a particular focus on the impacts of climate change on birds, and are increasingly ...

Kai Zhu

Kai Zhu is interested in global change biology, ecological modeling, and environmental data science, where he enjoys integrating ecological theory with advanced tools in statistics and computer science. His current research focuses on plant and soil responses to environmental change in the coupled natural and human systems, spanning from meter-scale experiments to global-scale analyses. Recent ...
