On his first visit to Melbourne in 2009, Stanley Grant, a drought expert and professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Irvine, had a question for his taxi driver. “How’s the drought?” he asked. “It’s about 28 percent,” came the reply. Grant was puzzled. But shortly afterward, they drove past an electronic road sign announcing that the city’s reservoirs were indeed at just 28 percent of capacity.
In the meantime, airlines that want to use more low-emission sustainable aviation fuel will have to pay up to four times as much for it as they pay for conventional fuel, which could mean higher airfares for everyone. “It’s not clear how we are going to get there,” said Jan Brueckner, a professor and chair of the economics department at UC Irvine’s Institute of Transportation Studies.

A team from UC Irvine that compared temperature changes across the U.S. found that temperatures rise faster in places under drought conditions than they do in places with average climates. This relationship could also raise the risk of concurrent heatwaves and wildfires, the researchers say.

Research: Dr. Shkel is interested in the design and advanced control of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for biomedical, communication and inertial navigation applications. His research interests center on the development of high-precision micro-machined gyroscopes; MEMS-enhanced optical systems, tools and prosthetic appliances; and the integration of electro-mechanical and machine-information systems. |
A new study from the University of California Irvine (UCI) has found that temperatures are increasing during droughts in large parts of the United States. The researchers analysed temperature and precipitation records from the 20th and 21st century and found that the mercury was rising at a faster rate in areas affected by drought than other more moderate climates.
Likewise, two doctors at University of California, Irvine (UCI) have joined with the Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic to build a “bridge" ventilator—a device that can be sold inexpensively, made quickly, and help relieve some of the pressure on intensive care units.

The purpose of the UCI Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Affiliates is to provide an effective means to offer support and guidance to the Department, its programs and students, and to act as an interface between the professional civil and environmental engineering community in Southern California, particularly in Orange County, and the University. The CEE Affiliates include senior executives representing leading civil and environmental engineering firms (both large and small) and public agencies, as well as individual members.
