British Petroleum and Ford Motor Company, earlier this year, renewed their commitment of financial aid to the University in the Carbon Mitigation Investigation (CMI) ? a project aimed at researching the greenhouse effect and global warming.A large part of the project focuses on alternative ways to collect and store carbon dioxide gas, which is produced by the burning of fossil fuels.Currently, vast quantities of the gas are released into the atmosphere and strengthen the greenhouse effect ? an ecological phenomenon characterized by increasing global temperatures.It is an environmental problem that needs to be taken seriously, said Robert Socolow, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and CMI's co-director.After internal and external reviews of CMI's progress over the past three years, the project, led by Socolow and Steve Pacala, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, was awarded its second allocation of funds.Socolow said the industries have pledged $20 million to the University over the length of 10 years.
