U-M Students Present Solutions for Climate-Related Issues in Detroit
In December, students in the M.Eng. in Applied Climate degree at U-M presented their projects analyzing climate-related impacts and solutions in Detroit.
Students completing the Master of Engineering in Applied Climate degree at the University of Michigan presented the projects they worked on in collaboration with community stakeholders on December 5. The degree program empowers students to use data analysis, climatology and engineering concepts to resolve climate issues.
Sloane Poppei also presented “Air Quality Variability in Detroit, MI: Insights from Satellite Observations and Spatial Analysis.” She worked in partnership with her advisors on the project, Professor Allison Steiner and Professor Jeremy Bassis.
Victoria Scheidt presented “Community-Focused Translation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Flood Risk Reduction Study for the Jefferson-Chalmers Neighborhood.” She worked with project partners GLISA, Jeremy Bassis, and Kim Channell, a climatologist at GLISA. Her advisors were Associate Professor Gretchen Keppel-Aleks and Professor Jeremy Bassis.
With an updated, fast-tracked curriculum, the master’s degree program has been renamed the M.Eng. in Climate Impacts and Solutions, with new changes set to take effect in Fall 2025.
