.@PittResearch shows 1 year of U.S. beef consumption released ~1.33 teragrams of nitrogen to the environment, w/beef consumed in 1 county associated with nitrogen losses in 200+ counties on average. https://t.co/GZtLRFkutb

It was a pleasure to host @LandonMarston for @PittCivilEnvEng graduate seminar series! Great insights and discussion on sustainable water management. Thanks for sharing your exciting work, Landon!

[Vikas Khanna @khanna_lab]

Hot off the press! Check out the latest @ACSSustainable paper from our lab. We present a Markov chain model for evaluating plastic waste management at the global level #plasticpollution #plasticwaste @PittCivilEnvEng @PittEngineering @bilecbese
