Dr. Zenon Medina-Cetina, a SGC collaborator, received the Kenneth L. Clinton Award for his work as the lead of the Yucatan Initiative Project at Texas A&M.
Some of the multidisciplinary and bi-national research projects include coastal dynamics, early warning systems, logistics, aquifers, energy harvesting, agro-biodiversity, animal science, water quality and agriculture production efficiency, among others.
Medina-Cetina’s main research interest as part of the Yucatan Initiative includes the mapping of social, economic and environmental risks associated with geo-processes common to Yucatan and Texas. The next phase of the project will concentrate on geosciences to better understand the regional influence of the Gulf of Mexico as a system.
