Opinion: Catastrophic floods and breached levees reveal a problem California too often neglects
Brett Sanders, UCI professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Jeffrey Mount, senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California’s Water Policy Center, write: “As recent work at UC Irvine has shown, flood preparedness efforts tend to focus narrowly on meeting the bare-minimum federal standards — standards few floodplain managers consider adequate. This approach vastly underestimates the magnitude of flood risks.

Orange County’s Coastal Train Service is Back; But for How Long?
Brett Sanders, a civil and environmental engineering professor at the University of California, Irvine, said the rail line’s woes tie back to beach sand starvation. … Sanders says, the urbanization of Orange County – and the region’s flood control infrastructure – “is designed to hold sediment in place.” “I mean, we go to great lengths and plan new developments to make sure that sand doesn’t move, that soil doesn’t move,” he added.

On a hydrogen hunt in San Francisco
Jack Brouwer, an engineering professor [and Director Advanced Power and Energy Program] at University of California, Irvine who has worked for years on hydrogen issues, told me the reason the cost of hydrogen had surged is that state subsidies are being gobbled up by big businesses jumping into sustainable energy, such as biodiesel. These businesses “took all of the credits” that had been going to companies making and distributing hydrogen, he said. California’s legislature and governor know about this problem in hydrogen subsidies but for now it hasn’t been fixed.

OC Supervisors hold climate resiliency investigation hearing
UC Irvine Professor [of engineering] Brett Sanders is a beach erosion expert. The UCI Flood Lab has documented those beaches eroding the fastest, from Sunset Beach, south to San Clemente. Not only do beaches serve as a natural defense against big storms according to Sanders but Orange County sand attracts millions of tourists. “Beaches are the number one driver of Orange County’s tourist economy,” said Sanders.

Origami-Inspired Heart Valve May Revolutionize Treatment for Toddlers
Every year, over a million children worldwide are born with congenital heart defects that threaten their lives and development. … Nnaoma Agwu, a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at UC Irvine and his mentor Professor Arash Kheradvar have developed a new valve that can also work for toddlers. The origami-inspired valve operates at different diameters, which makes it suitable for growing toddlers. Read More
