Recurring transboundary haze from Indonesian wildfires in previous decades significantly elevated particulate matter (PM) concentrations in Southeast Asia. The elevated PM reduced visibility in Singapore, which is located around 200 km from the closest wildfires site in Indonesia.

SEE has been undertaking cutting-edge research to address urgent energy- and environment-related issues in three categories: (1) sustainable technologies for energy, environment and health, (2) urban atmospheric and aquatic environment and (3) smart and healthy cities. In this SEE Tech Talk Series, three SEE faculty members will present their ongoing research on Waste Management and Treatment.

The representation of ocean mesoscale eddies (analogous to mid-latitude atmospheric storms) presents a formidable theoretical and computational challenge in ocean global circulation models.

Mr. Chong Chan-yau, co-founder and Chairman of Carboncare Asia reflects on the global and local effort in response to climate change. He will shared the challenges and successes of running a social enterprise in promoting changes in business practices.  Mr.

That society increasingly depends upon gases as commodities and fuels means that the “age of gas” has dawned, creating with it an urgent demand for designing energy-efficient porous materials to address challenges in gas separations, sensing and storage.

The solar-wastewater fuel cell (SWFC) is an emerging technology capable of harnessing direct electricity from the process of wastewater remediation (Fig. 1).

Development of rapid and powerful mutagenesis and high throughput adaptive evolution tools is of importance for breeding of microbes aiming at application in environmental and industrial biotechnology.

Global challenges related to water, energy, resources, and environment pollution have become unrelenting with increasing global population and people moving from simple subsistence living to advanced industrial economies.

The concept of 'sustainable development' was the foundation of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

Novel nanostructures synthesized by polycondensation reactions of various silane precursors are presented. Our group was the first synthesizing silicone nanofilaments which are very useful for a simple conversion of surfaces, e.g. from hydrophilic into superhydrophobic surfaces.
