Environmental Impact Assessment for Agriculture in Nebraska

Our group will lead an $8-10M NIH Center proposal to evaluate agricultural impact on Nebraska watersheds. Projects include multi-tier environmental impact assessment, animal studies, NMR and Mass Spec analysis, real-time monitoring, and GIS mapping overlay. Key UNL and UNMC faculty strengths identified. External partners and resources needed, including industry and foundation contributions. The Center will be linked to other campus resources for comprehensive research.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Environmental Applications Group Members • Shawn Gibbs • Alan Kolok • Keshore Bidasee • Yongfeng Lu • Yi Qian • Shi-Jian Ding • Srivatsan Kidambi

  2. Charge: • Your task is to develop core ideas/projects for an $8-10M ($1.25-1.5M per year for 5 years) NIH Center proposal. • To evaluate the agricultural impact on the watersheds in the state of Nebraska • Specifically, you should consider the following questions

  3. Briefly describe the core projects your group would design for the Center. Please dream big. • Multi-tier approach to determine impact of agrichemicals on the environment • Environmental Evaluation for the pollutant identifications and exposure levels • Animal studies to determine impacts • Fish exposure • Mouse exposure (Parkinson and Alzheimer's) • NMR to determine compounds of interest • Mass Spec studies to confirm compounds • Real Time Monitoring • GIS Mapping overlay to determine various agrichemical interactions.

  4. Identify the key faculty from both campuses to involve in these projects. Include their strengths. (UNMC on next slide) • UNL FacultyStrengths • Yongfeng Lu

  5. Identify the key faculty from both campuses to involve in these projects. Include their strengths. • UNMC Faculty Strengths • Shawn Gibbs • Alan Kolok • Keshore Bidasee • Yi Qian • Shi-Jian Ding • Srivatsan Kidambi

  6. Identify external academic partners & expertise or equipment resources/strengths that are needed to accomplish these projects.

  7. List potential industry/foundation partners (think broadly) and what they would contribute. Include reasons why they would be interested.

  8. Describe how you would link the Center to other campus resources.
