Dr. Quinones (Department of Chemistry) and Mr. Jay Rader (Center for Student Success) recently received $48,000 in NSF funding for the 2024-2025 academic year through the First2 Network. The First2 Network is an expanding group of over 1000 people and 30 organizations working to increase the number of college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and
Congratulations, Dr. Laura McCunn-Jordan! She has received an ACS PRF supplemental grant. The award amount of $25,000 is for support of Dr. McCunn’s proposed research: Supplement: Pyrolysis Reactions of Polyvinylchloride Derivatives.
Congratulations to Canary, winner of the Feature category at the 2024 Jackson Wild Media Awards! This remarkable achievement is a testament to the entire Canary team’s dedication. The film follows Marshall University and College of Science alumnus Dr. Lonnie Thompson as he seeks Earth’s history contained in glaciers atop the tallest mountains in the world.
We’re thrilled to share that Assistant Professor Autumn Starcher-Patton has been awarded a $150,000 capacity building grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture! Her project, “Agriculture and Natural Resources Microcredentials to Support Workforce Development in Southwestern West Virginia,” aims to make a significant impact in our region. Here’s what’s in store: Assessing
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded nearly $340,000 to Marshall University to acquire a state-of-the-art Rigaku SmartLab SE X-ray Diffraction system, to be housed in the College of Science at Marshall University. This grant was awarded through the NSF’s Major Research Instrumentation Program, which supports faculty members in obtaining expensive, cutting-edge research tools that
On July 26th, ten STEM student researchers presented summaries of their efforts performed over 10 weeks of the summer in a variety of laboratories on the Marshall campus. The objective of the SURE program is to enhance the intellectual infrastructure of the state by supporting undergraduates who are interested in performing research in any STEM
Professor Laura McCunn received a three-year, $75,000 grant from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund to study “Pyrolysis Reactions of Polyvinylchloride Derivatives.” The objective of this project is to elucidate how chemical structure affects the pyrolysis reactions of chlorinated hydrocarbons that are produced during the pyrolysis of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic derived from
The Armstead laboratory has received National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for research building climate resilience capacity in the Appalachian Region. The project, led by the University of Louisville, will engage rural communities in interdisciplinary hydro-related research and technological development to gain basic knowledge of flash flooding, mitigate the impact of flash floods and improve community
Our grad and Undergrad NRES students are having some pretty incredible opportunities this summer – diving, learning about diving safety, boat safety and learning about mussels from Dr. Tom Jones. NRES students have been working on mussels this summer. Three graduate students and five undergraduates have been working on mussel relocations this summer for Edge
