DoGEE, the School of Public Health, and Earth & Planetary Sciences have teamed up to give graduate students an opportunity for interdisciplinary research in water, climate, and health. To learn more about this exciting opportunity (and the $30,000 stipend/ full support for tuition for 2 years that comes with it!) go to:
Be a part of the selected group students learning and developing innovative strategies to respond to unprecedented challenges as a result of climate change. Click here for more info on applying.
The new Environment, Energy, Sustainability and Health Institute (E2SHI for short and pronounced eh-shee) springs from the university’s Implementation Plan for Advancing Sustainability and Climate Stewardship. With DoGEE's own faculty and staff on board (Ben Hobbs as its Inaugural Director and Denise Nowlin as the Administrator) E2SHI sets off on its mission-- promoting research and education in topics ranging from green energy practices to climate change and related health issues.

On June 15, 2011 Ed Bouwer, DoGEE department chair, was the recipient of the Chesapeake Section of the American Water Works Association’s (CSAWWA) 2010 George Fuller Award. The George Fuller Award is the highest annual award given by each section of the association.
Established in 1937, the George Fuller Award recognizes a member who exemplifies the life and work of George Warren Fuller, one of America's most accomplished engineers and a pioneer of many our nation’s water and wastewater treatment projects. The award honors “distinguished service to the water supply field and recognizes sound engineering skill, brilliant diplomatic talent, and constructive leadership of the Association member.”
Thinking about a Minor in Engineering for Sustainable Development? DoGEE's Minor in Engineering for Sustainable Development exposes engineering students to some of the key issues related to development, methods of information-gathering in diverse and difficult settings, and working effectively with non-engineers on complex problems.
The minor is open to undergraduates in any of the engineering disciplines in the Whiting School of Engineering. Students in Arts & Sciences may also pursue the minor with the permission of the program director.
For further information, contact: Dr. Erica Schoenberger, Program Director, 501 Ames Hall, ericas@jhu.edu 410-516-6158.

Seth Guikema, DoGEE assistant professor, received the Chauncey Starr Distinguished Young Risk Analyst Award from the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA).
The honor is given annually to a member of the SRA age 40 or younger who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in science or public policy and exceptional promise for continued contributions to risk analysis. We salute you, Seth!
Ben Hobbs will be honored at the Nov 8th annual Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences meeting in Austin TX with an award as one of the 11 elected fellows for 2010.
INFORMS fellows are examples of outstanding lifetime achievement in operations research and the management sciences. They have demonstrated exceptional accomplishments and made significant contributions to the advancement of OR/MS over a period of time. professor of Geography and Environmental Engineering, is one of eleven newly elected Fellows of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS), the leading academic and professional society in this field.
The honor is given in recognition of “outstanding lifetime achievement in operations research and the management sciences” by individuals who have demonstrated exceptional accomplishments and made significant contributions to the field over a period of time.

Her talk is now receiving some national attention. It recently aired on several
radio stations and appeared on the Inside Higher Ed website: http://www.insidehighered.com.
Congrats to Rebecca—we hear the audio engineers were very impressed with the quality of your vocal delivery!
Doctoral student, John Sivey, received 1st Place in a research poster competition hosted by the Division of Agrochemicals at the March 2010 National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco, CA. John Sivey is the recipient of a 2010 C. Ellen Gonter Award (Graduate Student Paper Award) from the American Chemical Society’s Division of Environmental Chemistry for his work with Prof. Lynn Roberts on chlorination chemistry of disinfection byproduct precursors. This work was also recently spotlighted in a news article in Environmental Science and Technology. (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es100800t).
Doctoral students Andrew Graham (advised by Prof. Ed Bouwer) and John Sivey (advised by Prof. Lynn Roberts) are recipients of 2010 Graduate Student Awards from the American Chemical Society’s Division of Environmental Chemistry.
