@Cornell students are helping tackle one of the more complex challenges in climate science: understanding methane emissions from waterbodies and mangrove ecosystems. 🧵 news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

The critical minerals that power lithium-ion batteries are in high demand and short supply, especially for the U.S., which must rely on importing resources such as nickel and cobalt to manufacture the technology. @CornellEng researchers have now developed a more efficient and cost-effective way to recover almost the full life of these batteries after they are spent. By using an electrochemical solution to regenerate their electrodes, the recycled batteries can regain up to 95% of their original power and last longer when reused, the researchers demonstrated. @AtkinsonCenter Read more: news.cornell.edu/stories/202….

How can universities serve the public good? 💭 In his final blog post before retiring as Director of Cornell Atkinson, David Lodge reflects on the unrealized potential of universities to help solve urgent societal challenges. 🔖atkinson.cornell.edu/blog/pa…

We are pleased to announce Cornell Atkinson has joined the Coalition for Sustainable AI, a global initiative advancing the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence in support of climate action and environmental sustainability 🤝🎉 📌sustainableaicoalition.org/c…

From “disgusting” to “beautiful”: @Cornell researchers and Kenyan partners have developed a fertilizer, made from human excreta, that improves soil health and food production, while preventing pollution. @CornellPlantSci @CornellCALS @AtkinsonCenter news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

As David Lodge retires as director of Cornell Atkinson, we celebrate his extraordinary contributions to sustainability science & practice @Cornell, and honor his contributions to inform policy & protect ecosystems at scale. 📌 Read about David’s career: news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

As biodigesters go, Cornell’s new unit will be small: two 10,000-gallon tanks on a concrete pad that might not be much to look at. But this little system, which will transform food scraps and cow manure into energy, will have an impact far beyond its footprint. “This is such a great opportunity for research, education and extension,” said Lauren Ray, senior extension associate and agricultural sustainability and energy engineer for PRO-DAIRY, in @CornellCALS. “It has this element of practicality, because it really will supply energy to the university, but at the same time it’s a platform for learning and even playing, as well as providing hands-on demonstrations for farmers and students.” The digester is one of the newest additions to Cornell’s Living Lab: a long-standing approach that uses campus operations to research and advance sustainability. It will be installed this summer at the @CornellVet’s Teaching Dairy, where it will take in a portion of manure from the 180-cow herd, as well as food service scraps and byproducts from campus. Funding and project management were provided by the @AtkinsonCenter. Read more: news.cornell.edu/stories/202….
