40% Surge: Growing Nitrous Oxide Emissions Trigger Scientific Alarm
Over four decades, nitrous oxide emissions have risen sharply, driven mainly by agriculture. Without technologies to remove it, the focus must shift to reducing emissions…
Boston College is a private Jesuit research university located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Founded in 1863, it is one of the oldest Jesuit institutions of higher education in the United States. Boston College is renowned for its rigorous academic programs, particularly in the fields of business, law, and education, and offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees across eight schools and colleges. The university emphasizes a liberal arts education grounded in Jesuit values, fostering intellectual growth, social justice, and community service. With a picturesque campus featuring Gothic architecture, Boston College combines a rich history with modern research facilities and a vibrant campus life, including a strong athletics program, especially in NCAA Division I sports. The institution is also noted for its contributions to research, its commitment to student formation, and its engagement with global issues through various initiatives and programs.
