For developing the industrially feasible Ni-rich layered oxide cathode with extended cycle life, it is necessary to mitigate both the mechanical degradation due to intergranular cracking between primary particles and gas generation from the reaction between the electrolyte and residual Li in the cathode. To simultaneously resolve these two issues, we herein propose a simple but novel method to reinforce the primary particles in LiNi0.91Co0.06Mn0.03O2 by providing a Li-reactive material, whose spinel interphase is coherent with the surface of the cathode. The modified structure significantly outperforms analogous bare samples: they conserve more than 90% of the initial capacity after 50 cycles and also exhibit a greater rate capability. By tracking the same particle location during cycling, we confirmed that the current method significantly reduces crack generation because the provided coating material can penetrate inside the grain boundary of the secondary particle and help maintain the volume of the primary particle. Finally, first-principles calculations were implemented to determine the role of this spinel material, i.e., having intrinsically isotropic lattice parameters, superior mechanical properties, and only a small volume change during delithiation. We believe that the proposed method is straightforward and cost-effective; hence, it is directly applicable for the mass production of Ni-rich cathode material to enable its commercialization.

The effects of wastewater, with four different nutrient loadings, from synthetic centrate on biomass production of Chlorella vulgaris, nutrient removal, microalgal settling, and lipid production were investigated in photobioreactors under both batches and, subsequently, semi-continuous operations. At higher centrate concentration factors (17.2% and 36.2%), hydraulic retention time and pH adjustments could be employed to sustain acceptable microalgal growth rates and wastewater treatment. Similar nutrient removals efficiencies (>95%) and biomass production (0.42-0.51 g/L) were observed for the four centrate concentrations. Both the lipid productivity and lipid content decreased with increasing nutrient loading in the wastewater. The results also demonstrated that the mass ratio of carbohydrate to protein could provide a good indication of microalgal settling performance, rather than sole component composition or total extracellular polymeric substances.

Heavy Metal (HM) is defined as any relatively dense metal or metalloids noted for its potential toxicity in the environment. Most of these metals appear in the World Health Organization list of chemicals of public health concern. Long-term exposure to HMs have been linked to slowly progressing physical, muscular and neurological degenerative processes in human that mimic Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, liver and kidney failures as well as alterations in gene expressions. This study assessed the concentration of some HM in public water supply in Abuja Metropolis from 2015 to 2016 with the view to determining its overall percentage compliance with the WHO(2008) recommended limits for safe drinking water. The HMs includes aluminum, Iron, Copper, Zinc and Manganese. A representative water samples from the six locations within the study area were collected and analyzed according to the Standard Methods and Procedures. Sampling was conducted three (3) times in each month from which the annual mean values were obtained and analyzed statistically. The mean physico-chemical characteristics of public water supply within the period under review revealed Al(0.61±0.13mg/l),Fe(0.21±0.06mg/l),Cu(0.02±0.003mg/l),Zn(0.24±0.10mg/l),Cu(0.05±0.03mg/l).Overall average percentage compliance were found to be Al(45.60%, Fe(85%), Cu(84.20%),Zn(90%) & Mn(91%) respectively. The results within the study period revealed that aluminum appeared to be above the WHO recommended limit of 0.20mg/l for safe drinking water and recommended for a substitute of aluminum sulphate used as coagulant in the water treatment process. The study concluded that the selected heavy metals and its concentrations in the public water supply in Abuja Metropolis was in compliance with the WHO quality for safe drinking water and therefore safe for human consumption .However, concern is raised for its aluminum level and possible health implications on long-term exposure particularly amongst the aged.

As an applied environmental anthropologist, the majority of my research projects focus on the dynamics of human populations and environmental change, specifically climate change in most cases. A project I recently completedin several coastal communities in Belize, addresses the ways in which households respond to climate-related shocks. The research involveddetermining levels of vulnerability and devising a Resilience Index to examine specific responses and coping strategies to climate-related disturbances. In 2014, I conducted research in the western interior region of Belize to determine awareness and level of understanding of climate change on the part of those working in the tourism industry. I continue to interview farmers in West Texas to document their farming systems and to examine their understanding of climate change along with their perceptions of risk relative to impacts on their wheat and corn production. I began this research in 2014 and will continue through 2019.

My current research centers on human responses to climate and other environmental changes.

I received my Master Degree in Public Administration with a Concentration in Tribal Administration/Governance from the Evergreen State College in 2004, which is the first program of its kind in the Nation. My undergraduate Degree was focused on Law and Policy and Federal Indian Law and government to government relations (Federal/State/Tribal). My current climate change work is working with tribal communities and in collaboration with outside agencies including federal/state/college/universities/non-profit tribal/private and corporate sectors on development and implementation strategies and programs to strengthen Tribal member participation and engagement in climate change and its impact on tribal trust treaty resources, human health security, water and food security/sovereignty. My work is to help preserve and share with the next ten generations the importance of educating and preserving our traditional ecological knowledge and sharing of culture and history through community engagement and outreach. To receive community input and ownership in decision making as active participant’s, providing a voice to their contributions in becoming resilient in taking actions at the community based level in the efforts of climate change adaptation strategies and awareness to climate impacts.

We are at a pivotal moment where we see risk and vulnerability to the impacts of a changing climate entering into the discourse of decision makers at all levels of policy and natural resource management. Managers working at a local, state, regional, and federal level are beginning to respond to climate impacts. Engaged members of civil society are organizing their communities to improve futures for all people and mobilizing action to protect the places they care about. However the field of climate adaptation is still in its infancy and too many are reinventing instead of innovating. With climate jeopardizing society's past, present, and future efforts to thrive, the need for practical climate adaptation solutions has never been greater. As a member I can contribute and share and develop a program that provides guidance through the steps of the adaptation process, as well as across the spectrum of adaptation activities in the United States and around the world today. As such they should engage multiple perspectives, either across sectors, geographies or stakeholders (e.g. national, tribal , regional, state, local, private, non-profit, educational). My goal is to include TRIBAL VOICE!
