Bringing Metallurgy Into the 21st Century
Using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) at the UC Irvine Materials Research Institute, the Caltech researchers were able to show that alloys produced using their HIAM method form more homogenously, resulting in higher degrees of symmetry throughout their crystal structure, [the lead author of the paper Thomas] Tran explains.

Building a beach: Already visitors are enjoying more sand at Capistrano Beach
Last week, a team from UC Irvine showed up with drones as part of a once-a-month monitoring program that will measure the sand through April. The team sets out GPS markers to take images spanning from Doheny State Beach to Poche Creek. The images are stitched together to makes 3-D models, said Jo Schubert, research specialist for UCI’s department of civil engineering.

Beijing’s record rainfall
"Our own studies suggest that the frequency, intensity and spatial coverage of heavy rainfall events all increase as a consequence of climate warming," said Shao Sun, a [visiting associate] researcher [in engineering] with the University of California, Irvine, who studies China's weather. … Sun and his research team have predicted that the likelihood of extreme precipitation events in northern China will rise by 18%, 20% and 27% under low, medium and high emission scenarios.
