The authors looked at how soil temperature changes with fire to develop a sensor system that could aid in earlier detection of fires.

The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

Growing climate concerns have intensified research into zero-emission transportation fuels, notably hydrogen. Hydrogen is considered a clean fuel because its only major by-product is water. This project analyzes how hydrogen compares to kerosene as a commercial aircraft fuel with respect to cost, CO2 emissions, and flight range.

Current horticulture practices often rely on pesticides, causing environmental harm. To address this, authors explore the use of ultrasonic sound emissions to detect plant stress at an individual level.

Here, in an effort to develop a model to predict future groundwater levels, the authors tested a tree-based automated artificial intelligence (AI) model against other methods. Through their analysis they found that groundwater levels in Texas aquifers are down significantly, and found that tree-based AI models most accurately predicted future levels.

The authors looked at the impact of different harvest and feeding treatments on Heterandria formosa over three generations as a model for changes in marine ecosystems.

The authors compare rates of renewable energy adoption between states that historically vote for democrats versus republicans in presidential elections.

The authors studied the response of various construction materials to UV solar radiation and heat.

A key barrier to adoption of solar energy technology is the low efficiency of solar cells converting solar energy into electricity. Sims and Sims tackle this problem by coding a Raspberry Pi as a multimeter to determine which wavelength of light generates the most voltage and current from a solar panel.

The authors investigate whether air quality impacts solar production.
