(UG5) Sustainability Insights: Navigating Environmental Issues through Data Exploration

Authors: Brandon Luong, Sydney Peno, & Charlotte Carter

Advisor: Professor Torumoy Ghoshal

Category: Undergraduate – MQP

Abstract: Our team has utilized emissions data from the EPA to observe the many negative ongoing effects of greenhouse gas emissions, where power plants are a major contributor. As students, we wanted to learn how WPI might be contributing to harmful emissions and what plans could be effective in reducing them. We aim to utilize our research and data to track WPI’s progress towards carbon neutrality and gather data insights to improve climate communication and potentially improve WPI’s sustainability plan going forward.
