Developing New Tools for Reducing Landfill Methane Gas Emission
Methane (CH4) is the second most prevalent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2) and significantly contributes to global warming. Every year, an estimated 3.7 million metric tons of methane are released into the atmosphere from municipal landfills.
So, what can we do about it?

Engineering Professor Explains How His Work Helps Protect Communities from Hurricane Winds
Wind from a category 1 hurricane can reach nearly 100 mph, fast enough to damage homes and snap tree branches. Category 5 hurricane winds exceed 157 mph and can destroy buildings, leaving areas uninhabitable for weeks or months.
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Assistant Professor Pedro Fernández-Cabán researches better methods for quantifying the intensity of hurricane winds and how those winds affect the structural integrity of buildings.
