Termite mounds in Namibia inspire energy-efficient buildings

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) are engaged in fieldwork across the globe, advancing our knowledge of the natural world and developing solutions to global challenges. From the Midwest to the Middle East, the deep sea to the stratosphere, SEAS students and faculty push the frontiers of technology and discovery. In Namibia, SEAS researchers are studying how termite mounds could inspire energy-efficient buildings.
