Welcome to the SOFOS database, a comprehensive repository dedicated to advancing sustainable waste management research. Managed by the Earth Engineering Center of Columbia University | WtERT®, SOFOS serves as an invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers alike. Our collection encompasses a wide array of research papers, conference proceedings, theses, publications, and dissertations, all focused on innovative strategies and technologies for effective waste management.
SOFOS, derived from the Greek word for “wise man,” SOFOS symbolizes our commitment to sharing knowledge with wisdom and foresight. Just as Columbia University’s iconic Alma Mater statue hides a small owl—a symbol of wisdom—within its folds, the SOFOS database is a hidden treasure of valuable research waiting to be discovered. Like the owl, SOFOS offers insight and guidance to those seeking to advance sustainable waste practices.
At SOFOS, we value the importance of knowledge sharing as a catalyst for progress. By providing open access to a diverse array of research outputs, we empower stakeholders to engage with the latest findings and best practices. This not only enhances the capacity for informed decision-making but also promotes a culture of collaboration across disciplines and sectors. We believe that through collective efforts and shared wisdom—symbolized by the wise owl—we can pave the way toward more sustainable waste management solutions for a cleaner and greener future.
