Environmental Engineering Research
Environmental Engineering and Science focuses on the sustainable use and preservation of natural resources and anthropogenic interactions in an increasingly urbanized world. Its goal is to help plan, functionally design, control, operate and manage municipal and industrial pollution-prevention systems.
The research also includes environmental systems management, monitoring, sensing, and visualization, water security, flood risk management, conflict resolution, river water quality modeling, groundwater modeling, solid and hazardous waste management, contamination remediation, climate change studies, and development of decision support systems and GIS-based applications.
