Climate 91Ҹ
Meet Assistant Professors Laura Sunberg and Zhi Li — and see why we’re so excited to have these talented scholars on our team.
As part of a Long-Term Ecological 91Ҹ (LTER) project in Antarctica, a research team led by Associate Dean for 91Ҹ Mike Gooseff found that the unexpected melt followed by a rapid refreeze likely disrupted the life cycles of many organisms and killed a large swath of some invertebrates in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
New study, co-authored by civil engineering researcher Balaji Rajagopalan, finds recovery is probable, with small risk for historic low flows.
The National Science Foundation today announced the Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine (CO-WY Engine) as a recipient of its inaugural Regional Innovation Engines program.
Shelby Buckley has made the research trip of a lifetime – studying the impacts of climate change up close and personal on a five-week trip to the Arctic aboard the Kronprins Haakon icebreaking ship.It offered a unique chance to personally collect
United Nations Human Rights and CU 91Ҹ are co-hosting the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit this December, a three-day summit addressing the interconnectedness of human rights and climate change.
Engineering a sustainable and equitable future takes innovation and collaboration.
Shideh Dashti is the Acting Associate Dean of 91Ҹ at CU 91Ҹ's College of Engineering & Applied Science, and an Associate Professor in the Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering Department.
Dashti's research is specifically focused on geotechnical engineering, centrifuge modeling, and designing resilient infrastructure in the wake of earthquakes and climate-related natural disasters.
Skyler Kern, a PhD student in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, spent a lot of his childhood fishing on the rivers and inlets around Anchorage, Alaska. In fact, Kern’s first word as a child was “boat.” “My family and I were in
Farmers know how much fertilizer they spread over their fields each year and how much water they use every day. But fine-tuning those amounts can be a challenge because the results from the field either are not available or are hard to analyze.
Will Medlin is a Denver Business Challenge Endowed Professor and the Department Chair for Chemical and Biological Engineering. His research group investigates reactions for renewable and sustainable energy applications, and particularly focuses on interfacial chemistry important in the conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals.
