Aiding a climate in crisis

Of the time-sensitive issues facing the world today, it is most critical to address the planet’s new climate reality and dwindling natural resources before it is too late. Driven by this urgency to translate their academic work into impact, MISTI students gain direct experience tackling these issues on a global scale. Working with our international partners on projects from designing sustainable cities to developing fog-harvesting technology that provides clean water, students contribute to solutions commensurate with the scale of these challenges.
