Most gardeners can tell by rule of thumb how much water their tomatoes and carrots need, but taking an accurate reading of plants' actual water use is a very difficult problem.
Although the measurement is critical for understanding how ecosystems are affected by drought, development or climate change, there is no easy way for scientists to verify estimates of water use. Right now, scientists have to use expensive, bulky laboratory equipment to analyze samples that allow them
A multidisciplinary team of students designed, built and tested new technology for shipping a sustainable electric power generator to recovering and off-the-grid communities, serving to replace diesel generators.
Graduate students Carole Dalin and Dan Li have been selected as Princeton Energy and Climate Scholars (PECS). These new members will broaden the group's scope significantly in climate understanding, measurements, and modeling as well as in carbon capture and storage.
PECS brings together a select group of highly talented and engaged Princeton Ph.D. students with research expertise ranging from energy security and technology to climate science and policy. It aims to provide a pla

Princeton engineer Branko Glisic won the top prize at this year’s Innovation Forum, a competition that showcases University research with potential to succeed in the marketplace.
Drought is often the precursor to disaster but researchers at Princeton University have come up with an approach that uses satellite data and historical records to track drought as it emerges.
The Engineering Mechanics Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has awarded the 2012 Alfred M. Freudenthal Medal to Professor Erik Vanmarcke. The award citation will read: "For developing methods of probabilistic modeling based on random fields with applications to reliability and risk assessment in geotechnical, wind, and earthquake engineering." In selecting Professor Vanmarcke for the award, the committee particularly noted that his work addre
