Institute for a Sustainable Earth (ISE)

George Mason University’s Ed Maibach is the most influential scientist working on climate change among America’s public universities

George Mason University’s Thomas Lovejoy was elected to the National Academy of Sciences this week, joining an elite group of 120 scholars recognized this year for their contributions to science and research.

Thomas Lovejoy was among the roughly 100 scientists serving on a Scientific Advisory Group that helped craft the U.N.’s “Making Peace with Nature” report that envisions a sustainable economy driven by renewable energy and nature-based solutions that will create new jobs, cleaner infrastructure and a more resilient future.

George Mason University’s Institute for a Sustainable Earth (ISE) has named its first cohort of ISE Faculty Fellows.

George Mason University is taking the lead in a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) designed to assess the threat of rising sea levels and flooding to Maryland’s coastal communities.

New trade routes in the Arctic mean unprecedented traffic and industrialization are likely to follow, so George Mason University’s Elise Miller-Hooks and her team of scientists will be taking a closer look at what that will mean for the region’s infrastructure and governance thanks to a $3 million National Science Foundation grant for a project called “An Expanding Global Maritime Network, Its Arctic Impacts and Reverberations.”
