DTU Sustain

DTU Sustain is one of the largest university departments specializing in environmental and resource engineering in Europe. We are working to develop new environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies, methods and solutions, and to disseminate this knowledge to society and future generations of engineers.

Meet our masters in environmental engineering

Meet Laura De Rossi, one of our international masters in environmental engineering. Laura is originally from Italy but has chosen to stay in Denmark after she finished her studies. Now, she works as a project manager in the company Explicit.

Meet Sindhu Jagadeesha, one of our international graduates MSc in environmental engineering. Sindhu is educated in understanding and suggesting solutions to the challenges that come with climate change.

Nature-based solutions on their own will not help mitigate climate change

DTU Sustain has collaborated in the publication titled "Leaf-level coordination principles propagate to the ecosystem scale" in Nature Communications, to which we contributed with data from our beech forest long-term CO2 flux observation station. The existence of the long time series, also allows us to observe responses and acclimation to climatic trends, such as anthropogenic climate change.
