CEE Professor Jay Lund and WFCB Professor Emeritus Peter Moyle talk with The New Yorker about the Sacramento River Delta and how best to protect the freshwater that millions of people depend on for drinking and agriculture.
Switching to low carbon fuels for transportation, cooking, heating, power generation and other needs would help fight climate change but also reduce racial and ethnic disparities in exposure to air pollution, according to researchers at University of California, Davis.
After decades of researching indoor air quality, it’s not the publications and conference presentations that environmental engineer Richard L. Corsi considers his most impactful contributions. Instead, what stands out is an idea from late one summer night in 2020 that became Corsi-Rosenthal air filtration boxes.
Civil and environmental engineering professor Sabbie Miller has received $1.5M in federal funding from the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E agency to advance the methods and metrics necessary to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) sequestration in building materials.
UC Davis' fifth annual give day was held this year on April 16-17. Give Day is a 29-hour online fundraising drive that brings the community together to celebrate the Aggie spirit by sharing, following or financially supporting UC Davis programs that have made an impact on the lives of people everywhere.
In a new perspective article for the journal One Earth, Sabbie Miller, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at UC Davis, Professor John Harvey, director of the Pavement Research Center at UC Davis and colleagues at ETH Zurich and Imperial College London break down the greenhouse emissions challenges facing the cement industry and present a strategy to get to zero emissions.
Colleen E. Bronner, an associate professor of teaching and vice-chair of undergraduate studies in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is a champion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) at UC Davis.
Her research focus is primarily in two areas: inclusive teaching pedagogy, which explores ways to teach that do not privilege or disadvantage people based on their backgrounds and experiences, and diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in engineering.
Civil and environmental engineering (CEE) students Alexandra Rivas, Ryan Callahan, Jake Morisato and Monet Kunz were interns on the Green Buildings team that helped the Peter J. Shields Library receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification. LEED is a green building certification program used worldwide.
Richard Corsi, a leading expert in the field of indoor air quality, will be the next dean of the College of Engineering. Corsi is a UC Davis engineering alumnus (M.S. 1985 and Ph.D. 1989, civil and environmental engineering) and was a 2016 recipient of the college’s Distinguished Engineering Alumni Medal.
