The Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center on Sept. 22 will celebrate a century of applied research and education supporting the region’s agricultural and horticultural businesses.
The 25th annual Great Backyard Bird Count is scheduled for Feb. 18-21. All are invited to join the count so that as many birds as possible can become part of a massive database used by scientists to track changes in bird populations over time.
Forget incineration or landfills. To resolve the increasing, never-ending waste stream of medical PPE as a result of the pandemic, Cornell engineers suggest recycling via pyrolysis.
Neema Kudva, an expert on sustainable development in small cities and their regions in South Asia, comments on Cyclone Yaas threatening Eastern India, and its potential impact on critical infrastructure as well as the COVID-19 crisis in the country.
As concerns about climate change intensify, researchers are exploring the potential for large-scale human intervention in the Earth’s climate system, a strategy sometimes referred to as geoengineering. Two leading researchers in the area discuss how their research in sunlight reflection methods fits into the bigger picture of potential climate solutions.
Meiogenix, a next-generation technology startup that helps agricultural crops find their own genetic solutions, via chromosome editing, has joined Cornell’s McGovern Center incubator.
Amanda Rodewald, senior director of conservation science with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, comments on the impacts from a new Environmental Protection Agency rule that strips federal Clean Water Act protections for U.S. waters.
Research from the Center for Bright Beams reveals the potential for greater control over the growth of superconducting Nb3Sn films, which could significantly reduce the cost and size of cryogenic infrastructure required for superconducting technology.
Benjamin Z. Houlton, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, testified June 15 to the U.S. House Agriculture Committee on the role of climate research in supporting agricultural resiliency.
A Cornell-led project found a way to tune the speed and increase the range of energy flow in organic semiconductors, an approach that could eventually lead to more efficient solar cells, sensors and LEDs.
