Used listing on departmental website.
None
A brief description of notable accomplishments during the previous three years by faculty and/or staff engaged in sustainability research:
Analytical instrumentation: inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICPMS), X-ray diffraction and fluorescence, atomic absorption, gas chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, particle size analyzer, Geographic Information System (GIS), uni-axial compression tester and other geotechnical testing equipment
Spatial Analysis and Environmental Modeling: Two Computer laboratories with state-of-the-art Geographic Information Science (GIS) and Satellite Image Processing Software are available to support the research of CAER affiliated faculty and students. A 24-node PC-based computing cluster for regional climate modeling is housed in the Laboratory for Climate Analysis and Modeling (LCAM). This cluster and other high-end Unix computers support CAER's climate impact research.
