The talks covered a wide variety of subjects which were all impacted by Crittenden\u0026rsquo;s five decades of research in topics such as adsorption, ion exchange, air stripping, advanced oxidation, membranes, sustainable urban development, urban ecology, resilient infrastructure systems analysis, sustainable community research, and sustainable engineering education.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe way that waste streams are treated has evolved markedly in the last 50 years. The primary scope of concern for waste treatment strategies started with mechanical, biological, and chemical treatment, to pollution prevention, to green chemistry\/engineering, to the sustainability triangle of economic, environmental, and societal sustainability. John\u0026rsquo;s research agenda has followed, and usually anticipated, this development arc. The Honor Award for Scientific Excellence was presented to Crittenden at the ACS conference by the Division of Environmental Chemistry of the American Chemical Society \u0026ldquo;in recognition of his contributions to \u0026lsquo;Greener Strategies in Environmental Sustainability\u0026rsquo; through outstanding research and publications.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJohn Crittenden is Hightower Chair and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar in Environmental Technologies in the Georgia Tech School of Civil and Environmental Engineering where he continues his research and teaching.
