landside and waterside transportation. This project
develops and applies a total fuel life cycle analysis model—the Total Energy and Emissions Analysis for Marine Systems
(TEAMS) model—to calculate total fuel cycle emissions from marine
transportation. These results can be compared to landside emissions to
determine environmental impacts of alternative transportation technologies.

transportation technologies in New York. This project
is supported by NYSERDA and is aimed at developing a
model to assess the total fuel life cycle energy and environmental impacts of
hydrogen energy use in transportation for NY State. The model involves
calculating impacts for both upstream and downstream phases of hydrogen
production and use. Renewable energy and energy
conservation project implementation at national parks.
This project is supported by the U.S. National Park
Service. The purpose of this project is to design and
deploy renewable energy and energy conservation projects in parks nationwide
with the assistance of university students and faculty. More information can

optimization modeling under various policy frameworks.
This research area applies optimization modeling (linear and non-linear
programming) to identify optimal emissions control strategies for sets of
transportation (freight and personal mobility) technologies. With this
approach, we have studied fuel switching for power plants, emissions control
device application for marine vessels operating in the NY/NJ Harbor, and
invasive species control for ballast water releases in the Chesapeake Bay.
The approach also allows for a comprehensive study of how command-and-control
v. market-based policies may play out in the real world. Collaborators:
