Advancing Environmental Technology: Collaborative Research and Community Engagement 2002-2003

DESCRIPTION

The Environmental Technology Consortium at Southern University focuses on synergizing research, community outreach, and new Department of Energy-related initiatives from October 2002 to September 2003. Key components include phytoremediation research assessing pollutant uptake in plants, developing community engagement strategies related to environmental justice, and fostering partnerships between universities and DOE. Major methodologies involve advanced plant analysis, gene expression studies, and community policy-making involvement. The project aims to enhance educational outreach and improve community participation in environmental decision-making.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Center for Energy and Environmental Studies SUBR Campus Environmental Technology Consortium Southern University’s ETC Research and Outreach Project October 1, 2002 – September 30, 2003

  2. Current objectives are to synergize three major components (1) Collaborative research and development in the area of phytoremediation and waste clean up (2) Develop a strong community outreach arm environmental justice issues relative to civic engagement (3) Provide start-up for new and promising Department of Energy related research. establishing a DOE weapons site-university partnership

  3. (1) Collaborative research and development

  4. Major Approaches • Inductively coupled plasma - atomic absorption (ICPAA) to asses Uptake and transport of toxicants in plants • Plant gene expression array /bioinformatics technologies to identify highly active genes that mediate contamination of toxic metal. • Toxicant uptake kinetic to asses phytoremediation protocols that use vascular and non-vascular plant species in tandem

  5. (2) Develop a strong community outreach arm Students high school/college analysis of putative toxicants sampling/measurement engage community groups, colleges and industry in policy making aspects of environmental decision-making Community members University professors

  6. Major Approaches • Establish environmental research project for high students • Summer programs/ GLOBE, LAMP, ENVIRO. TOX. • Establish functional community civic engagement - seminars/ symposium/round table/membership on advisory council and committees.

  7. DELIVERABLES FOR PROJECT A Standardize protocol for assessing uptake of Selective heavy metals using vascular and non-Vascular aquatic plants. Provide a molecular snapshot of genes involved in Arsenic and barium uptake-Toxicant Specific Array. Improve university community involvement in environmental policy. Make an positive impact on students view about Environmental issues and careers in environmental Related science and issues.
