    How and why to keep phosphorus on no-till fields

    Mar 10, 2020

    Left untilled, fields gain organic matter and maintain high yields, but there’s a tradeoff to consider when deciding not to till.  Fields that aren’t tilled are less likely to erode, sending soil and the components of fertilizer, including phosphorus, downstream, a threat to water quality.

    Findings from energy conservation study featured in Ohio State News

    Dec 19, 2019

    Faculty member Nicole Sintov’s research published in Nature Energy is featured in the Ohio State News release, “Heat or eat? How one energy conservation strategy may hurt vulnerable populations.”   Lee White, a former postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State, who is now with Australian National University is the lead author on the published research.  According to the published article, the study examined 7,487 households taking part in a randomized control time-of-use pilot in the southwestern United States and found two vulnerable populations, people with disabilities who may be using life-saving equipment and elderly people more sensitive to temperature changes, saw the largest increases in their bills on the time-of-use rates. Read more about the study, the findings and implications for the adoption of time-of-use electricity rates on a large-scale.

  10. Interview conduced with SENR faculty member on better predicting river flows.

    Faculty member interviewed on reducing uncertainties in estimating river flow

    Sep 26, 2019

    Steve Lyon, an associate professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University was recently interviewed by Fondriest for the Environmental Monitor on his research which seeks to better predict river flows and combines classic monitoring data with new technologies to develop and improve hydraulic modeling for estimating river flows, especially during uncertain and extreme weather events. The research has implications for water professionals charged with managing our water resources.
