Near the Florida-Georgia border, the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers meet and become the Apalachicola River, which carries freshwater and nutrients downstream to Apalachicola Bay.

New research led by FAMU-FSU College of Engineering Assistant Professor Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf examined how drought and water volume in the Lower Apalachicola River watershed affect nitrogen and phosphorous, crucial nutrients for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

It’s fall, and our engineering student organizations and interest groups are back in full swing. Here’s a (not comprehensive) list of the upcoming meetings. As always, all organizations are open to all engineering students regardless of university affiliation. Check the Student Organization page for websites and contact information.

An interdisciplinary team of Florida State University researchers is set to tackle some of Florida’s most pressing environmental issues thanks to nearly $1.5 million in funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The team will collaborate on three EPA-funded projects to examine South Florida’s waterways from three different perspectives: pesticide and fertilizer transport, water pollution, and threats to groundwater.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, a groundbreaking FAMU-FSU College of Engineering research project funded by National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) dives deep into the indirect impacts of flooding on residential buildings, indoor air quality and human respiratory health. 

Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf, a researcher at the Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response (RIDER) Center in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is spearheading the s
