As catastrophic climate events intensify worldwide, Ricky Rood ponders ‘re-normalizing’ in an abnormal environment.

When this chemical contaminant is removed from water, it often is placed in landfills only to re-enter the water supply over time. U-M engineers have a plan: Use cold plasma to destroy PFAS rather than just removing it.

It’s a tricky proposition, especially when emerging science impacts emerging public policy.

Ricky Rood subscribes to the theory that ‘it’s all in the delivery’ as he frames approaches to climate change problem-solving.

The COVID-19 and climate crises illuminate scientific tension between acting ‘now’ and ‘then,’ says Ricky Rood.

Former student activists who established the 1970 Teach-In on the Environment examine how history can inform the present — and the future.

Scientists have long grappled with measuring the impact of noise exposure on humans. U-M has partnered with Apple to use a person’s iPhone and Apple Watch to generate a more holistic overview.

As Ricky Rood prepares for decades of rapid change on our planet, he warns readers it’s going to be a roller coaster ride.

The pace of today’s global warming outstrips any climate event since the extinction of the dinosaurs, and experts predict by 2158 carbon could reach levels not seen for 56 million years.
