A demonstration project at the University of Washington will help students cut the school’s energy bill; it’s part of a larger, five-state project to make the power grid “smarter.” Environmental Management students Duncan Clauson and Evann Sawyers-Rouse are involved in this very cool project; read more here!

Kiddy Emmanuel, capstone student in the Program on the Environment, created a video about an innovative community farm project as one of her deliverables — and it was selected as one of the winners of The Next Fifty’s A Story Runs Through It neighborhood film project! Check out this inspiring short film below. Congratulations Kiddy!  The temperature at which cows start producing less milk varies across the country depending on other factors like humidity and overnight temperature swings. (UW News) A new study by CoEnv scientists evaluates the heat stress variables that may lead to a drop in milk production for cows across the country. This work will be featured in the International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses, which will be held on campus this Thursday and Friday. Yoram Bauman, affiliate professor at Program on the Environment, and Guillaume Mauger and Eric Salathe’ of Climate Impacts Group, are co-authors, with Tamilee Nennich of Purdue University. Read more about the research here! Each week we share the latest publications coming from the College of the Environment. This week, nine new articles co-authored by members of the College of the Environment were added to the Web of Science or published online:
