Professor Amy Javernick-Will received the Pathfinder Award, the highest honor from the Engineering Project Organization Society, recognizing her research on improving disaster response and infrastructure sustainability in resource-limited communities.

Professor Abbie Liel's work focuses on finding new ways to design and assess structures to withstand extreme conditions, aiming to make them safer and more sustainable.

Professors Edith Zagona and Joseph Kasprzyk were interviewed by the Washington Post for an article on how the federal government is using CU ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½'s innovative web-based tools to forecast the river’s future flows.

Professor Evan Thomas is leading a CEAE team that, along with others, won a $160 million,10-year NSF Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine to develop and commercialize climate-resilient technologies for monitoring, mitigating and adapting to climate impacts across the region and country.

Rajagopalan Balaji, a professor of civil engineering, has been named a fellow by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Board of Direction. This prestigious recognition, awarded to only three percent of ASCE members, is "for celebrated contributions and developing creative solutions that change lives around the world." 

Seventy-five percent of incarceration facilities in the state are vulnerable to climate-related hazards, such as wildfires, extreme heat, floods or landslides, and many are ill-equipped to handle them, new research by Geotechnical Engineering Professor Shideh Dashti suggests.

CEAE Research Professor Edie Zagona, director of CADSWES, and CEAE Associate Professor Joseph Kasprzyk joined the CADSWES Reclamation Colorado River modeling team in a meeting with the commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The meeting's purpose was to provide an update on a web application being developed for stakeholders to explore alternatives in the upcoming environmental impact statement negotiations regarding new Colorado River operating policies.
