Students from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) chose to spend spring break in Georgia, engaging in prescribed burns 鈥� a forestry management practice that involves intentionally setting fires to promote forest health, support wildlife biodiversity, and increase resilience to future wildfires.
Coastal wetlands are crucial for providing animals with food and shelter during disturbances. However, these ecosystems are under threat from rapidly spreading non-native aquatic plants, climate change, and dam regulation. Northern pike, native predators in the St. Lawrence River, have been forced to spawn in less optimal, deeper nearshore areas due to the invasive hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca) and water level regulation.
Two professors at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) are leading an international initiative to develop sustainable bioproducts from waste biomass. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting these efforts with a $5 million grant to the Global Center for Sustainable Bioproducts (GCSB), an international research hub dedicated to developing sustainable bio-based solutions for environmental and economic challenges.
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry鈥檚 Dr. Jennifer Goff has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences to support research into the environmental impact of tellurium, a metalloid increasingly used in manufacturing.
Scientists at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) have developed genetic engineering tools to better understand the role of actinobacteria in freshwater environments. Their findings are published in the paper 鈥淕enome Editing in Ubiquitous Freshwater Actinobacteria,鈥� featured in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM).
Groundwater has been largely unstudied in its importance and role in sustaining ecosystems.
Dr. Jiajue Chai at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) received two National Science Foundation grants totaling nearly $700,000 to advance research on improving air quality in large cities. Chai, an assistant professor in ESF鈥檚 Department of Chemistry, studies how atmospheric compositions influence air quality, ecosystem health, and climate change.
Dr. Jamie Shinn is overseeing the development of an online resource 鈥� the West Virginia Flood Resilience Framework 鈥� poised to help residents in flood-prone areas of central Appalachia become better prepared to recover from flooding through accessible information on flood risk, floodplain management, and comprehensive disaster preparation.

A new report by the Climate & Applied Forest Research Institute (CAFRI) and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) outlines the development of a map-based carbon accounting system and how it can be an essential tool for New York state to achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050.
A new innovative and immersive program created by the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is introducing climate science, offering career exploration, and addressing issues of access from an equity and justice perspective for high school sophomores and juniors from New York City.
Researchers at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to further its research on carbon-neutral alternative sources for value-added chemicals currently sourced from petroleum and other fossil fuels.
Four indigenous writers will participate in a new residency program at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), one of the nation鈥檚 premier colleges focused exclusively on the study of the environment, developing renewable technologies, and building a sustainable future. Through the Indigenous Writer Residency Program, each writer will spend three weeks at Cranberry Lake Biological Station, ESF鈥檚 satellite campus nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Park on the ancestral lands of the Mohawk Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer has been elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) during the Academy鈥檚 annual meeting May 2.
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is pleased to announce Upstate 2.0, a partnership between ESF and Cornell University that aims to bolster economic development in upstate New York, has received a $1 million development award from the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Regional Innovation Engines.
Public input is needed for federal regulatory approval for the blight-tolerant American chestnut developed by the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Once approval is received, ESF and The American Chestnut Foundation can begin distribution.
Dr. Benette Whitmore-Environmental Studies faculty member and online graduate program coordinator-exudes contagious energy when talking about her newest project, the Funky Foodies podcast.
A rooftop space transformed into an outdoor garden at the Syracuse VA Medical Center by the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has been impacting the lives of veterans for 10 years.
