IN THIS ISSUE
Monitoring the state of the natural and built environments has become increasingly important as we grapple with engineering challenges such as aging infrastructure, water and air pollution, atmospheric CO2 and ocean dead zones. Researchers in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are taking the lead in meeting some of these challenges. Inside you'll find news about a bold initiative to develop pervasive sensor networks to monitor Singapore around the clock, and a NASA satellite to monitor the Earth's soil moisture.
