Resolve Magazine: Volume 1, 2022

Focusing on questions that matter
Welcome to the Spring 2022 issue of Resolve—a magazine dedicated to research and educational innovation in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University.

Surging energy consumption worldwide, climate change that grows more prominent with each passing season, and a war of aggression in Eastern Europe all point to the same underlying issue: the urgent global need to invest in new approaches to satisfying our energy demands in sustainable, equitable ways. Interdisciplinary research is essential to identifying, exploring, and developing solutions to society’s most pressing challenges, energy among them. Through Lehigh’s Interdisciplinary Research Institutes, we have been steadily building activity and support structures that enable team science to flourish. A string of recent research awards is evidence that the strategy is bearing fruit. In this issue, we highlight team science successes in the area of green energy.

Energizing the Blue Economy

Energizing the Blue Economy

In the face of climate change and environmental degradation, how can we maintain the health of our oceans and the communities that depend on it? It’s one of the questions at the heart of what’s known as the “blue economy,” a concept focused on the sustainable use of ocean resources to promote economic growth, improved livelihoods, and the health of marine ecosystems. Lehigh engineers have long been working in the field of renewable energy, often as part of interdisciplinary teams. Instead of looking at problems within the silos of their respective disciplines and focusing on individual components, they’ve used a holistic approach to design system-wide solutions.
