Researchers find collaborative flood modeling process effective
“The impacts of flooding continue to escalate in the U.S. and around the world, and the main culprit is urban growth in harm’s way, with communities underprepared to deal with extreme events that are getting more intense in a warming climate,” said lead author Brett Sanders, UCI professor of civil & environmental engineering.

Researchers Discover a Biosensor Monitor to Track Pulse and Connect with Devices Wirelessly
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a novel self-powered, wristwatch-style health monitor that can wirelessly interact with a nearby smartphone or tablet and measure a wearer’s pulse without needing a battery or an additional power source.

Researchers find drinking water is safe in Eaton, Palisades burn areas as utilities lift last ‘do not drink’ order
The utilities’ recommendation [is] to run all faucets in the entire house for at least five minutes to flush contaminants out of the lines before using the tap water. “I’m optimistic from these results,” said Chris Olivares, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Irvine, who has led the tap water-testing part of the LA Fire HEALTH Study.

Rainwater tanks and green roofs could be the best way to avoid more of last week's LA mudslides
“The massive volumes and pollutants associated with stormwater runoff are a deadly one-two punch for streams and lead to a condition known as ‘urban stream syndrome,’” said UC Irvine graduate student in civil and environmental engineering Asal Askarizadeh, the paper’s lead author.

Researchers uncover possibility of acoustic side-channel attack on DNA synthesis process
"A few years ago, we published a study on a similar method for stealing blueprints of objects being fabricated in 3-D printers, but this attack on DNA synthesizers is potentially much more serious," said Mohammad Al Faruque, UCI associate professor of electrical engineering & computer science. "In the wrong hands, DNA synthesis capability could result in bioterrorists synthesizing, at will, harmful pathogens such as anthrax."
