Senior leaders and scientists from DuPont toured several core facilities and learned about UD’s advanced materials characterization and unique testing capabilities, from analytical techniques for 3D imaging and spatial imaging to nanoscale spectroscopy for understanding a material’s chemical composition, among other tools and techniques.

Jenkins’ work in environmental community engagement has led to longstanding partnerships with Baltimore’s nonprofit sector, work that he has introduced to many UD students. He has helped facilitate urban reforestation projects that have received national recognition, including an award from the U.S. Forest Service. Jenkins is also an active participant in food justice efforts, overseeing an urban farm that delivers one hundred pounds of produce to local food pantries weekly.

Scientists aboard the research vessel during the International Ocean Discovery Expedition 383 collected seafloor data that helped University of Delaware researchers uncover what drove a major shift in Earth’s glacial cycle roughly 1 million years ago. UD research discovers the driver behind global glacial pacing To understand where the Earth might be headed, it’s important to know where it’s been.
