This
region has seen an increased number of grantees in fields related
to the repair of environmentally damaged areas and the sustainable
use of resources. An environmental engineer from Cleveland State
University spent his 1998-99 Fulbright in Kazan, Russia, working
on biological waste treatment.
An extraordinarily well regarded and productive scholar, he was
affiliated with the Engineering Ecology Department, the Applied
Ecology Department and the Biotechnology Center at Kazan State
University. Because one of the most significant heritages of the
Soviet system was ecological devastation, the grantee's work was
highly regarded not only in Kazan, but in a number of other cities
where he lectured. In an unusual addition to his Russian grant,
he will travel to Bishkek in 1999 to do similar work in Kyrgyzstan,
an area with comparable, if not more pressing, environmental degradation.
