3 - Examining the Sustainability Frontier: Sustainability Performance Versus Efficiency Meltem Denizel, Associate Professor, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, United States, Yiming Zhuang, Frank Montabon Sustainability undertakings require efficient use of resources to achieve the desired performance. This leads to the question of how efficient companies are in their sustainability practices. Relying on data from CSRHub, we employ DEA to evaluate the sustainability efficiency of 1141 large U.S. manufacturing companies from 2009 to 2018. 4 - Physics-Informed Spatio-Temporal Modeling for Multi-Source Environmental Data Guanzhou Wei, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, United States, Xiao Liu, Venkat Krishnan, Manajit Sengupta, Yu Xie, Haitao Liao Natural and environmental processes are governed by physics laws, and are often monitored by data from multiple sources, such as remote sensing, field measurements, and so on. This research proposes a general framework for physics-informed spatio-temporal models for environmental processes where observations are available from multiple sources. The proposed modeling approach is illustrated through two environmental processes, including wildfire smoke propagation and sea surface temperature.
