In honor of Earth Day, we're proud to highlight Professor Maiken Mikkelsen’s feature in the Duke Climate Commitment's Climate Road Trip series.
Filmed at the Duke Campus Farm, Professor Mikkelsen shares how her team’s research on hyperspectral imaging—originally developed for microchips—is helping farmers reduce pesticide use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Watch the video to see how this climate tech is making real-world impact.
This work reflects our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
