Brief descriptions of up to 4 recent notable accomplishments by faculty engaged in sustainability research, including names and department affiliations:
Lisa Urry, Biology:
I ran a workshop at the National Association of Biology Teachers in Dallas TX 10/31 - 11/3/12 that surveyed faculty as to their inclusion of sustainability in their curricula. In fields of biology, there were many ways the concept was included, without being mentioned by name.
Lara Durback, Book Art:
Letterpress printing using only reused items; studio practice which considers reuse and energy saving; presentation on panel "What Does Sustainability mean to Printers?" at College Book Art Association conference hosted at Mills.
Kristina Faul, Chemistry:
Investigation of whether urban reservoirs serve as sources or sinks for contaminants to the SF Bay with a focus on acid mine drainage impacted Lake Aliso on the Mills Campus. Research funded by SeaGrant for two years.
Sharyl Rabinovici, Public Policy:
I study the behavior of landlords in making improvements to their apartment building properties for earthquakes and energy-related purposes. I also study recreational water quality and the systems that are used in the US and EU to maintain healthy beach ecosystems to support local economies and recreational uses of open waters.
