This newly-funded project could help strengthen food security and agricultural resilience in Singapore and across Southeast Asia, integrating real-world farming environments with virtual systems. 

Complementary nitrogen and phosphorus projects will help Illinois farmers make informed nutrient management decisions while reducing nutrient losses.

The projects aim to transform food waste into clean aviation fuels, leverage AI to accelerate the development of sustainable aviation fuels and safer nuclear energy technologies, and better understand the health of coral reefs threatened by microplastics.

A first-of-its-kind dataset developed by iSEE affiliate Lei Zhao and his team shows what heat in cities actually feels like to people and infrastructure — not just what satellites see from space.

U. of I. researchers are helping launch a new international effort to reduce agricultural emissions and improve how nitrogen is managed in farming systems, without sacrificing crop productivity.

Five students will work with a faculty mentor to analyze a campus sustainability challenge and recommend solutions, gaining valuable environmental research experience.

An analyses showed agrivoltaics can increase or reduce yields and profits, depending on the crop and location, with humidity a key factor.

iSEE is accepting proposals to support interdisciplinary research on ambitious topics related to sustainability, energy, and environment.

Innovative work by Illinois researchers at the Agroecosystem Sustainability Center strengthens monitoring of global agricultural yields.

A $3 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) is reimagining how wastewater can be transformed into a source of essential nutrients for agriculture and industry.

The analysis outlines where these crops perform best and what factors shape their potential for sustainable aviation fuel.

For their leadership in advancing resilient food systems, clean energy transitions, and global sustainability technologies, professors Kaiyu Guan and Jeremy Guest were honored at the University of Illinois.
