Laidlaw Summer 2021 Update

I've spent the past 6 weeks designing and testing a novel form for carbon dioxide capture in aquatic environments by using a biocompatible hydrogel, alginate, a product of algae, as a means for storage of an amine-based carbon dioxide scrubber, and I've learned so much in the process.

This summer, I worked in the Parkin lab to examine the viability of alginate as an effective material for storage of carbon dioxide, with applications ranging from lakes and ponds acidified due to CO2 absorption to much larger bodies of water. In this video, I outline some of my motivations for the project and some of my current finds.
