An insurance salesman, an engineer and a priest working on climate projects. These are exactly the kind of unexpected collaborations being fostered by the Duke Climate Commitment. For Duke Engineering and other STEM-focused faculty, that means going beyond research looking to reduce carbon emissions through better solar panels, batteries and carbon-capturing technologies. It also means looking beyond technical solutions to address the effects of a warmer world like advanced water resources management and coastal erosion protections. To address the wide range of climate impacts, engineers and scientists are working with new partners to help communities adapt to a changing environment. Take a closer look at three projects that are benefiting from interdisciplinary collaborations.
