About

Agriculture is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making Kansas a prime location to pioneer new technologies for sensing, monitoring, and reducing these emissions. The GHG SmartSense STC team brings together experts from diverse fields to tackle the challenge of detecting and mitigating the three main greenhouse gases: nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide. Our focus extends to agriculture, water reservoirs, and landfills—areas where innovative solutions can have a real impact. Understanding where and how these emissions occur is a global priority, and it calls for creative thinking and cutting-edge science. While the complexity of GHG emissions makes them difficult to measure and manage, our team is working to change that. By developing affordable, reliable nanosensor arrays and sensor networks, we aim to provide continuous, in-field measurements that are essential for validating effective emissions reduction strategies. Beyond research, GHG SmartSense STC is committed to fostering education, community engagement, and technology transfer. We offer unique multidisciplinary training at K-State, connect with industry and community stakeholders through impactful outreach, and support entrepreneurship, bringing new ideas to life and advancing the vision of K-State 105 for the benefit of all Kansans.
