An intercollegiate study, in partnership with university Facilities, analyzes the effects of campus events and weather on local air and water quality.

Mechanical engineering’s Jeffrey Moran continues to prepare an experiment to be carried out on the International Space Station (ISS). Via a powerful microscope in microgravity, the team plans to observe how common atmospheric aerosols move across a temperature gradient, information which would inform climate predictions, geoengineering proposals, and even HVAC applications.

Mechanical engineer Jeffrey Moran, whose lab focuses on self-propelled micro- and nanoparticles, has loved outer space since childhood. Now, one of his experiments, exploring aerosol thermophoresis, will be carried out on the International Space Station. 

Amira Roess, epidemiologist and professor in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s College of Public Health, discusses what you need to know about air quality alerts and how it affects your health.
