The MSSI conducts its research through the lenses of five themes: Creating Sustainable Materials, Adapting Urban Environments, Sustainable Landscapes, Sustainability Transitions, CleanTech for Carbon and Energy Cycles. MSSI's themes encourage a targeted approach to sustainability research that address critical environmental and societal needs, while bringing together a diverse cohort of researchers to do so.
MSSI Research Themes
聽Creating Sustainable Materials
The Creating Sustainable Materials theme aims to design novel materials that have similar or enhanced functionality to existing materials but reduced environmental impact and health risk during their production and use. This theme also evaluates the potential effects of existing materials which may be released into the environment through wear and tear or at end of life, ultimately to inform policy and lead to the creation of more benign materials.
Theme Co-leads:聽Nil Basu (Natural Resource Sciences), Audrey Moores (Chemistry), George Demopoulos (Materials Engineering)
聽Adapting Urban Environments
From defining sustainable cities to understanding the role of "big data" in urban sustainability, the Adapting Urban Environments theme generates and mobilizes knowledge to make cities more socially inclusive and less environmentally impactful while improving the well-being of residents.
Theme Co-leads: Andrew Gonzalez听(叠颈辞濒辞驳测),听Kevin Manaugh聽(Geography, Bieler School of Environment),聽David Wachsmuth聽(Urban Planning)
聽Sustainable Landscapes
The Sustainable Landscapes theme is developing methods and tools to assess landscape sustainability and better link science, engineering, social and economic needs, and policy.
Theme Co-leads: Elena Bennett聽(Natural Resource Sciences; Bieler School of the Environment),聽Brian Robinson听(骋别辞驳谤补辫丑测),听Laxmi Sushama聽(Civil Engineering)
聽Sustainability Transitions
The MSSI鈥檚 Sustainability Transitions research theme鈥檚 mission is to collaborate closely with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to produce innovative research to help stimulate, support and understand transitions towards sustainability in that sector. Its two main focuses are understanding and sharing the sustainability transitions related to decision-making, motivations, and obstacles SMEs face, and studying and promoting tools and metrics that could stimulate and support the transition of SMEs towards more sustainable practices.
Theme Co-leads:聽Jaye Ellis (Law), Dror Etzion (Management), Catherine Potvin (Biology)
聽CleanTech for Carbon and Energy Cycles
The CleanTech for Carbon and Energy Cycles research theme develops viable replacements for current greenhouse gas-intensive technologies and industrial design. Projects in the theme consider societal, environmental, and economic aspects of new technologies throughout their lifecycles.
Theme Co-leads:聽Jeff Bergthorson聽(Mechanical Engineering),聽Salmaan Craig听(础谤肠丑颈迟别肠迟耻谤别),听听(笔丑测蝉颈肠蝉),听CJ Li听(颁丑别尘颈蝉迟谤测)
