Change happens, often resulting in positive or negative trajectories. When changes interface with environmental science and technology, we routinely define the scope of these alterations, design and develop innovations, and improve interventions and systems.

Subsequent opportunities emerged to be creative, to reimagine processes, and to engage diverse research topics, as a grand global experiment of sorts unfolded. 2020 also reminded us of the importance of our connections.
