EPA Research Updates
In 2015, an unprecedented algal bloom in the Ohio River caught many communities by surprise. Since then, EPA researchers have been working with water quality managers to address a gap in scientific research regarding the ability to predict harmful algal blooms on rivers. Read about the tool they created to help better understand water quality in the river and prepare for future algal blooms.
EPA grantees developed a toolkit to help California communities select, use, and maintain low-cost air sensors and interpret the collected data. The grantee research team engaged, educated, and empowered communities to understand the benefits of using low-cost air sensors to track air quality.
EPA and cosponsors announced the Phase 1 winners of the Environmental Justice Video Challenge for Students. The winning teams of college students created videos identifying and characterizing an environmental justice issue important to a local community.
The Make a Market Tech Challenge for Students is now open through December 31! The challenge provides the opportunity for undergraduate and graduate student teams to help evolve the use and benefits of real-world environmental technologies to potential organizations to further license the technologies. Learn more about this challenge.
