SUMMARY:Sustainability in action at University of California San Diego: th
 e campus as a living laboratory - Professor Paul Linden\, Director Sustain
 ability Solutions Institute\, University of California\, San Diego

CONTACT:Dr Dick Fenner
DESCRIPTION:Paul Linden is the chair of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engin
 eering Department at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering\, where he is t
 he Blasker Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering. He also is 
 director of UCSD's Environment and Sustainability Initiative and a fellow 
 of both the American Physical Society and the Royal Meteorological Society
 . Prior to joining UCSD in 1998\, Linden was a faculty member in the Depar
 tment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of 
 Cambridge\, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1971\n\nProfessor Linden's resear
 ch has applications in geophysical\, environmental and industrial engineer
 ing. The flows encountered in natural and industrial contexts are usually 
 turbulent and have variations in density which produce strong buoyancy for
 ces. Linden's research focuses on the physical processes involved to obtai
 n a greater understanding of the underlying principles governing these flo
 ws. He has applied his work in fluid dynamics to environmental engineering
  to create more "energy efficient" buildings.\n
