Modeling and Monitoring

Overview

TEI Working Groups provide a framework to encourage faculty to work together to develop multidisciplinary approaches to complex environmental issues. Working Groups involve both natural and social scientists and encourage intellectual leadership and dialogue within specific environmental thematic areas. Working Groups also provide a mechanism for integration and communication of information on complex issues and a venue for sharing information among faculty and researchers. Participants may discuss and identify environmental research needs, identify and develop collaborative opportunities, develop working papers, and disseminate information through lectures, seminars, publications, forums and conferences. Working groups will also provide direction and leadership to related activities including the Environmental Lecture Series, the MA Water Resources Research Center Annual Conference, and the Annual Contaminated Soils and Water Conference.

TEI first explored the Working Group concept through the Environmental Fellowship Program funded by DOE, which focused on three themes: climate change, contaminants (specifically phytoremediation), and methods of environmental modeling. As this project nears completion, TEI plans to build on the strengths of the working group and will soon be issuing a broad invitation to faculty to participate in discussing three new proposed Working Groups.
