Grading Environmental Justice
Rona Kobell
Scientists are accustomed to measuring the Chesapeake Bay’s nutrient levels to help develop cleanup strategies. But how to measure and mitigate environmental injustices?

Here, we show readers how that effort succeeded and where the students and the instructors see possible improvements.
