Join us Friday, September 20, 2019 for the 23rd Annual Civil & Environmental Engineering Golf Outing, a tradition that’s been going for over 20 years. See the event calendar below for details and sponsorship information.
Daniel Wright, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, published results of his latest study in July 2019 in the American Geophysical Union’s Geophysical Research Letters.
Professor Chin Wu's groundbreaking research has shown meteotsunamis can generate unexpected rip currents, now known as meteo-rips. These can last hours after the meteotsunami and are life-threatening to beachgoers.
Professor Daniel Noguera and graduate student Miguel Perez have helped demonstrate how the soil bacterium N. aromaticivorans could turn a renewable source — lignin from plant cells — into a replacement for petroleum-based plastics.
