The High Meadows Environmental Institute’s annual Discovery Day celebrates undergraduate and graduate environmental research at Princeton. Last week over 100 students from 20 academic departments, mentored by 76 Princeton faculty, shared their work.
Research spanned biodiversity and conservation, climate, environmental policy, sustainable agriculture, new energy, health and disease, and more. Presenters included ENV minors, EEB majors, and undergraduate and graduate students whose research was funded by HMEI. Topics included carbon capture policy, flood risks, hummingbird songs, bird-safe buildings, anti-light-pollution advocacy, dolphin response to boat traffic, antibiotic resistance, water demands of AI centers, electric vehicles, sustainable cements, sugarcane mulch and genetics of endangered seals, and so much more.
