Climate models are essential tools for predicting the impacts of climate change. However, existing models face challenges in providing timely and cost-effective information at smaller scales, such as the city level. The traditional method of downscaling global climate models to generate finer details over smaller regions is computationally taxing and expensive. This limitation has prompted

Freshwater mussels, known for their ability to remain stationary in streambeds for years, play a crucial role in indicating the cleanliness of their environment. They filter water around them and ingest organic matter, which can result in reflecting environmental contaminants like radioactive particles. Researchers from Penn State’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering recently conducted
