Research by SyracuseCoE-Affiliated Professor Featured in Scientific American
Research
by Prof. James S. Bonner, director
of SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner Clarkson University's
Center for the Environment, on the water quality of the Hudson
River was recently featured in Scientific
American. Last year, the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries and Clarkson University
launched a $300,000 solar-powered 20-foot by nine-foot floating pontoon platform in the Hudson to measure and
assess water quality. The floating platform allows the researchers to collect data
using the canister at various points all along the river. The Beacon Institute's Center for Environmental Innovation and Education (CEIE)
in Beacon, NY will collect, sort, analyze, and graphically display
information about the river, making it available to Beacon Institute
and Clarkson researchers as well as those studying marine environments
worldwide. To read the full Scientific American article, click here.
