The term “sustainability,” as it relates to using
Earth’s resources wisely, can be problematic, Timothy
Killeen, president of the SUNY Research Foundation, said during a
visit to UB.
For many, a trip to Louisiana centers on New Orleans and its
fabled nightlife. Not so for 16 UB students who earlier this month
spent a week volunteering in the wetlands of southern
Louisiana.
Coral colonies that suffered tissue damage in The Bahamas were
still producing low numbers of eggs four years after the injuries
occurred, according to new research by UB scientists.
Two UB experts will be doing important work on commissions
analyzing how New York State can strengthen its response to natural
disasters like Hurricane Sandy.
