T-RUST is transitioning to the United Nations Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development in the Detroit-Windsor region.
Tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Env. Sci. & Geology at Wayne State University invites applications for a tenure-track position, specifically with expertise in hydrology (e.g.surface water hydrology, & ecohydrology), climate science, urban waters, or related fields.
The UN-RCE & @waynestate students led an educational event with @makefooddetroit to discuss the impact of food waste on climate change. The next one is on March 20th from 11 AM to 1 PM at the WSU student center. There are many opportunities to get involved, so don't miss out!

Urban Sustainability research by T-RUST students @BrennaFriday & @davidacriss8 partnered with a
Community Organization embodies what T-RUST is all about- further identifies the troubling pattern of rising risk of food insecurities in some Detroit areas.
