Ecosystems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to the Urban Sustainability &amp; Environmental Health Research Cluster at the University of Michigan-Flint. The cluster was created out of a growing need to bring researchers, practitioners, and students with an interest or expertise in urban health and environmental science together to address topics ranging from sustainable and connected communities to public health policy and resilient ecosystems. Considering that more than half of humanity now lives in cities, and ecological systems continue to be stressed, we believe that researchers from a myriad of disciplines are needed to promote planetary health. Therefore, the research group is interdisciplinary by design and has expertise in healthy cities, public health, urban planning and policy, interactive marketing, data science, geospatial technology, environmental management, urban design, graphic art and design, chemistry, engineering, sociology, psychology, and computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drive scientific research among UM-Flint researchers, and their domestic and international partners, on critical urban and environmental health issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Become a focal point for information exchange and cooperation among faculty, graduate students, practitioners, and community partners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foster applied research and engage policy issues to improve our understanding of the interfaces among urban-environmental-health systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To produce usable evidence, resulting from scientific publications and grant-funded projects, policy-makers can use to enhance the health of urban and natural areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-white-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are developing a variety of interdisciplinary research proposals and have several projects within two main themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ecosystem Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flint River Restoration<br><\/strong>This project will evaluate current conditions in the Flint River in the City of Flint to support existing water quality improvement efforts intended by the Flint River Restoration Efforts.<br><br><strong>Flint Drinking Water Assessment<br><\/strong>Toxin monitoring in Flint drinking water.
