Professor Evan Thomas discussed CU Â鶹ӰԺ’s work to bring climate finance solutions to water quality challenges in the American West and East Africa at TedXCU on April 7 in Macky Auditorium.

In this Washington Post article, Assistant Professor Kyri Baker says appliances with batteries will be a "game changer," able to stash energy at home for when it's needed while building the grid’s capacity to absorb clean, excess energy.

Professor Gregor Henze, who has spent the last 15 years focusing on sustainable building design, sees the general types of projects as "doable" but not without some challenges, primarily when it comes to retrofitting the buildings for heating and cooling.

As part of their capstone project, seniors in CU Â鶹ӰԺ's civil engineering program are contributing to the design of the expansion of Denver Water’s Gross Reservoir Expansion Project, which involves raising the height of Gross Dam by 131 feet. The renovated dam will nearly triple the reservoir’s water storage capacity and create a more reliable water system for 1.5 million people in the Denver metro area.

Mark Hernandez, S. J. Archuleta Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and senior author of recent research published in PNAS-Nexus, found that airborne particles carrying a mammalian coronavirus closely related to the virus which causes COVID-19 remain infectious for twice as long in drier air.

In this talk, Associate Professor Mija Hubler (Civil, Environmental & Architectural Engineering; Materials Science and Engineering) discusses how construction materials have been understood historically and how her research is helping reimagine materials and processes with sustainability in mind.

Shideh Dashti, an associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering and acting associate dean for research in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, says the geology underlying Turkey and Syria shares a lot in common with the West Coast of the United States.

Associate Professor Wil V. Srubar was named a "Top 25 Newsmaker" by editors at the Engineering News-Record for his passion about creating "living" building materials, beginning with a greener masonry block.

In 2021, the devastating Marshall Fire showed wildfire can strike Colorado in almost any place or season. Scientists like Assistant Research Professor Brad Wham now hope to glean lessons from it for communities across the West.

The Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering welcomes Karl Linden as the incoming department chair.  Linden, a CEAE professor and an associate director of the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering, took the reins January 1 from Professor Rich Regueiro, who served as the interim chair since July.
