Research

The ByWater Institute conducts and supports research on energy, environment, and resilience. Our director, research faculty and postdoctoral research fellows are engaged in interdisciplinary projects that include experts in biology, sociology, geography, chemistry, history, public health, and more. We also support research across the university with funding, research vessels and shared equipment, assistance with extramural proposal submission and award management, and scholarly retreats at A Studio in the Woods.
