Welcome to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at UC Irvine. We design infrastructure systems essential to economic activity, study interactions between environmental and human systems, and strive to build a healthier, more sustainable and equitable world.
This work will identify the benefits and costs of flood risk adaptation alternatives, including nature-based solutions (NBS), for the region. Further, the work will reveal the potential to simultaneously achieve social, economic, and ecological benefits and equity in the distribution of benefits across geographies and indicators of race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic disadvantage. … This project is led by Dr. Brett Sanders [professor of civil & environmental engineering] at the University of California, Irvine, in collaboration with Dr.
Lut [Desert] hit its all-time high in 2018, a record the Sonoran [Desert], in a weird coincidence, matched the next summer, Yunxia Zhao, [graduate student, civll & environmental engineering], of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues report .… It’s unclear whether climate change is driving up surface temperatures, Zhao says.
Flooding from a storm event so severe that it occurs only once every 100 years would cause far greater damage to life and property in the Los Angeles Basin than federal emergency officials have forecast, according to UC Irvine researchers who warn also that Black and low-income communities would be hardest hit by the disaster.
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) say they have shown that they can give cells a short-term boost of energy through mitochondrial transplantation.
Welcome to the UC Irvine Nhu Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), where the seemingly magical becomes reality. Ever wonder how your phone can pinpoint your precise location on a map? Or how a self-driving car can parallel park? Or how a thin piece of glass no bigger than a human hair can carry 100 million Zoom sessions at once?
