systems. Recent work examines the regulatory and legal contexts for the deployment
of carbon capture and sequestration technologies. She holds a doctorate in engineering

Established in 2006, the Institute on the Environment will coordinate the university's
breadth and depth of environmental resources to make it easier for researchers
to share knowledge with each other and the public. The institute will bring
the university's wide-ranging environmental experts closer together, helping
to trigger even greater discoveries and further enhance the university's reputation
as an environmental leader.
