Pollutants are having devastating effects on ecosystems including the plants, animals and people who depend on them. The Center for Aquatic Chemistry and the Environment (CAChE) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Center of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) that tackles one of the most complex challenges: environmental contamination. Learn more about our Research:
Detection & Identification
Using advanced chemical sensing technology for the environment
Fate & Transport
Quantifying how contaminants move through South Florida's ecosystems
Data Synthesis & Visualization
Developing methods to assess impacts on our shared environment
Leading in Student Research
We are happy to share that one of our computer science students with CREST CAChE, Deya Banisakher, has won the Best Poster Award at the 30th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference. Congratulations to Deya, his advisor Mark Finlayson, and the COGNAC team at FIU.
