Hello there,
I am Renee Obringer, an assistant professor in the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering (EME). My research focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on energy systems, primarily through demand-based studies. As the climate continues to warm, we are using electricity in different ways, such as increasing our air conditioning use in the summer, while also expanding our use to emerging uses, such as electric vehicle charging. This relationship between energy and the environment is a critical part of adaptation plans aimed at building a more sustainable future. This course will discuss these topics and enable you to view energy and the environment from a sustainable perspective.
Please do not hesitate to email me (using the Canvas mail system) if you have any questions!
Renee Obringer
