Sustainable Resource Management Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that evaluates the environmental impact of waste and energy using GIS and LCA.
AboutAbout the lab
Evaluating environmental impact, from waste to energy.
The Sustainable Resource Management Lab studies how to manage resources sustainably, evaluating the environmental impact of waste and energy using methods such as geographic information systems (GIS) and life cycle assessment.
The faculty member's research keywords include integrated waste management systems, renewable energy systems, and environmental technology innovation.
The faculty member's co-authored papers include some that use overseas regions, such as Bangladesh and Myanmar, as case studies.
In the college's faculty list, the lab appears under the field "Environment and Its Management" in the Environmental Engineering course.
Key terms
- GIS
- Geographic information system. A system that overlays various kinds of data on positions on a map for analysis and display.
- Life cycle assessment
- A method of evaluating the environmental impact of a product or service across its entire life, from raw material extraction to disposal.
- Biogas
- A gas that can be used as fuel, released when organic matter such as livestock manure decomposes.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab explores ways to manage resources, energy, and waste sustainably, through the evaluation of environmental impact and the analysis of geographic information. The faculty member's papers include some that use various countries and regions overseas as case studies.
*Illustrative imageEvaluation of waste management
The lab works on household waste generation and composition, optimization of electronic waste collection, and the evaluation of waste management using life cycle assessment and GIS. The case studies are Mandalay in Myanmar, Fiji, and Yaoundé in Cameroon.
*Illustrative imageEnergy use of livestock manure
Using Bangladesh as a case study, the lab estimates the amount of biogas and compost that can be produced from livestock manure using GIS, and evaluates the optimal siting of facilities and their environmental benefits.
*Illustrative imageEvaluation of renewable energy deployment
The lab evaluates site selection for solar power and its greenhouse gas reduction effect, as well as onshore wind power planning, using GIS and multi-criteria decision-making methods. It also has a paper on Jamaica's transition to renewable energy.
