Current Initiatives
Environmental Science for Energy Security
Brookhaven Lab is advancing innovative measurement, modeling, and analysis methods to tackle key scientific challenges in atmospheric research with an emphasis on understanding environmental processes that impact energy demand, production, delivery, and national security.
Plant Sciences
We're working to understand the principles underlying carbon capture, conversion, and storage in living systems and to develop the capability to model, predict and optimize these processes in plants and microorganisms.
Materials in Radiation Environments
The use of nuclear power as a clean energy source requires the development of advanced reactor designs. Such development involves an understanding of how intense radiation, temperatures, and corrosive environments change the properties of materials used in reactors.
