As a hotter, drier climate grips the Colorado River, water risks grow across the Southwest
“The main issue is the snow drought everywhere in the entire West, including Arizona, Utah, California, Colorado,” said Amir AghaKouchak, a professor in UC Irvine’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. “When the snow is below average, it means low-flow situations in summer, drier soil moisture.

About
The growth of biomedical engineering at UCI has been rapid, beginning with the formation of the Center for Biomedical Engineering in 1998. The center was funded by a generous $3-million development award from the Whitaker Foundation. In 2002, three major milestones were achieved including the formation of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, two undergraduate degree programs, and the expansion of the graduate program leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical engineering.
