Professor H. Sebnem Duzgun is part of a team evaluating efficient and low-emission rebuilding plan for southeastern Türkiye following a devastating earthquake in February 2023.
Colorado School of Mines has assembled a team of internationally recognized PFAS researchers and practitioners to determine how to best treat PFAS-contaminated sediment or soil in a side-by-side test of the leading field-ready technologies. The fieldwork will take place at Schriever Space Force Base, just outside of Colorado Springs.
