SU Distinguished Professor to Speak on Everglades Restoration Challenges Dec. 2 at Clarkson University

The New Horizons in Engineering Distinguished Lectureship Series at Clarkson University is proud to announce that Charles T. Driscoll, University Professor of Environmental Systems Engineering and Distinguished Professor at Syracuse University, will speak on “The Everglades and Challenges for Restoration.”

His presentation will take place on Friday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. in Clarkson’s Bertrand H. Snell Hall Room 213 (#20 on the map at http://www.clarkson.edu/about/clarkson_map.pdf). A reception will precede the lecture at 1:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Driscoll’s scholarly work addresses the effects of disturbance on forest, freshwater and marine ecosystems, including air pollution (acid and mercury deposition), land-use, and climate change.

His current research focuses on recovery of eastern forest watersheds from elevated acidic deposition; atmospheric deposition, watershed and surface water transport and transformations, and biotic exposure of mercury; co-benefits of carbon dioxide emissions controls from power plants; ecosystem restoration; and ecosystem response to changing climate.
