Crystal Cove’s latest restoration focuses on past, but also a future facing climate change
“Crystal Cove is a unique State Park in California because it is a place where we can contemplate the challenges of balancing environmental needs against cultural needs, against today’s recreational needs,” said Brett Sanders, a UC Irvine professor of civil and environmental engineering. “And realize that it’s not going to be easy.” [Subscription required, campus-wide access provided by UCI Libraries.

California's wildfire season has lengthened, and its peak is now earlier in the year
Researchers in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Irvine have conducted a thorough analysis of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection wildfire statistics from 2000 to 2019, comparing them with data from 1920 to 1999. They learned that the annual burn season has lengthened in the past two decades and that the yearly peak has shifted from August to July. The team's findings are the subject of a study published today in the open-access journal Scientific Reports.

Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is described as the art of substainably harnessing the natural environment to meet human needs. The success of this endeavor is evident all around us. The arid plain which greeted the early settlers in Southern California has been transformed into a thriving metropolis largely by the application of civil engineering.

Can’t crush this: Beetle armor gives clues to tougher planes
The beetle study is part of an $8 million project funded by the U.S. Air Force to explore how the biology of creatures such as mantis shrimp and bighorn sheep could help develop impact-resistant materials. “We’re trying to go beyond what nature has done,” said study co-author David Kisailus, a materials scientist and engineer at the University of California, Irvine.

California's Beaches Face Uncertain Future
UC Irvine Professor Brett Sanders, a coastal engineering expert, said … “We built dams all across the California coast. And the strategy behind the dams, in most areas, was either to provide flood control for downstream communities, in some cases to provide water supply,” Sanders said. “But the dams have now blocked the natural supply of sediment that the coastline needs to be healthy. And now we’re seeing accelerated rates of beach erosion.” [Starts 4:00]min Listen More
