California’s aging dams face new perils, 50 years after Sylmar quake crisis
“Emerging data of massive simulations of flooding suggest that existing flood control systems are a ticking time bomb,” said Brett Sanders, a professor of civil engineering at UC Irvine. “Southern California, in particular, is completely unprepared to deal with the consequences.” “Once the water goes outside of the structures intended to rein it in, it will go everywhere,” he said, “and there will be little time to get out of its way.

Connect with Students
Samueli School students are uniquely qualified to fill positions in industry after they graduate. In addition to having a deep foundation in engineering principals and new techniques, they have hands-on experience with actual engineering projects, thanks to the school’s focus on experiential learning.

California Beaches Could Disappear In The Next Century (Here's What It Means For Tourists)
Beach replenishment projects in California date back to the 1930s …. reshaping shorelines in ways that require repeated and possibly perpetual replenishment. The consequences of modifying these beaches beyond their natural formations now burden local communities with costly projects and growing threats to beachfront infrastructure and housing.

Cephalopod protein changes optical properties of human cells
Alon A. Gorodetsky of the University of California, Irvine, and coworkers have given some of that camouflage ability to human cells. The researchers engineered human embryonic kidney cells to make a protein called reflectin that gives somecephalopod skin cells and organs their optical properties …. Read More

Combined force of fire and water
Ariane Jong-Levinger [engineering graduate student] and colleagues from the University of California, Irvine used stochastic modelling to study the effects that changes in extreme rainfall and wildfires have on flood-protection infrastructure such as flood channels and debris basins in a mountain watershed similar to those found in southern California. They find that more frequent and severe fires lead to more events that exceed the capacity of the protective infrastructure. Read More
