Advancing Energy-Water Resilience in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories
Challenges facing Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories for both "energy for water" and "water for energy" are distinctive from the contiguous U.S. In this whitepaper, we discuss opportunities for new hydropower development and non-traditional water-energy linkages in these regions...

Marine Energy-Seawater Intersection for Hydrogen Production
The focal area is about the energy-water intersections for high-value fuel production. The main challenge is the poor stability of anode in natural seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production, and we propose a fabrication of novel electrode overcome this challenge. The success m...
