Protecting Air and Water Quality Development and implementation of efficient and cost effective solutions to remediate ecosystems contaminated by anthropogenic pollutants requires expertise from the physical and social sciences, engineering, and education. WSU has experts in numerous departments across campus involved in environmental research and education: Degree Programs with an Environmental Engineering Emphasis: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering Department of Biological Systems Engineering (graduate degree only) Research Centers and Laboratories Center for Environmental, Sediment, and Aquatic Research (CESAR): acting as an umbrella organization at WSU to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration of students and faculty to educate next generation environmental professionals. This mission is accomplished through interdisciplinary research providing cutting edge solutions to important environmental problems, and by transferring this technology to industry and governmental agencies. True interdisciplinary education at the doctoral level. Instead of students narrowly focused on individual research and coursework, experts from a variety of disciplines broaden students’ perspectives by requiring common coursework and seminars that include students and faculty from multiple disciplines. The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research : recognized worldwide for its more than 50-year history in atmospheric and air quality research. The multi-disciplinary group is focused on air quality graduate education and research. Research in: Biosphere/Atmosphere Interactions and Regional Air Quality Measurements and Modeling, including Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) in the Atmosphere, Regional Air Quality Modeling, Regional Particulate Matter (PM), Space-Based Air Pollution Measurements, Emissions of Global Greenhouse Gases, and Pollutant Transport & Dispersion. |
