  • Here is a list of my publications.

    Here are some Web-based projects by my students.

  • GreenFLY demo, our flight search Website that prominently displays emissions information for each flight choice. Only a demo now since it used a now-defunct Google API.
  • Web-based visualization of plot-sized patches of forest airborne LiDAR data, by Stewart He, using some of the tools from this paper.
  • Conscious Cook, a recipe search tool that shows water and carbon emissions impact data to the ingredients.
