    Clearing the Air: Investigating Natural Gas Compressor Stations

    Compressor stations are the unsung heroes of natural gas pipelines, but they have a dark side... These stations release chemical pollutants into the air, hitting levels that raise eyebrows on national standards. What's worse, these stations often pop up in rural areas, hitting vulnerable communities the hardest. So when a local community advocate asked VSCI for help, our Environmental Justice team dove deep to explore the chemicals, the health toll, and the community struggles, working to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and local communities.

    The Quest to Quantify Hydropower's Hidden Emissions

    Lee Sickler, Sam Bickley and other members of V-SCI's Team Reservoir Emissions tracked the carbon footprint of hydropower and found that two reservoirs in Alabama both had emissions above the limits proposed for "clean energy". In this episode, Host Gabrielle Jawer joins them as they discuss their modeling efforts in hydropower reservoir's hidden carbon emissions. Lee and Sam explain the process of using the G-res tool to estimate emissions and highlight the importance of acknowledging and addressing these traditionally overlooked emissions. Learn how you can make use of the G-res tool with these tutorial videos made by V-SCI's Team Communications.
