New study shows Egypt will import more water than water supplied by the Nile if changes are not made Egypt will import more water (virtual water) than the water supplied by the Nile, if the population […]
Applied in the field, a new model reduced quakes from oil and gas processes; could help manage seismic events from carbon sequestration. When humans pump large volumes of fluid into the ground, they can set off […]
A new seed-coating process could facilitate agriculture on marginal arid lands by enabling the seeds to retain any available water. As the world continues to warm, many arid regions that already have marginal conditions for agriculture […]
Study demonstrates the power of low-cost air quality sensors during volcanic eruption When extreme and dangerous air pollution events strike and blanket the air with hazardous levels of pollution, it causes a major threat to public […]
Imaging technique could enable new pathways for reducing concrete’s hefty carbon footprint, as well as for 3-D printing of concrete. The concrete world that surrounds us owes its shape and durability to chemical reactions that start […]
Building materials and construction is growing and responsible for 11 percent of carbon emissions. How can we design and build better materials and structures that can reduce emissions and have better impacts on the environment? These […]
Understanding how materials fracture and break is critical to the design of resilient nanomaterials. Molecular dynamics offers a way to study fractures but is computationally expensive with limitations of scalability. To explore an alternative method, Professor […]
A virtual virus spread between smartphones could help track disease transmissions in real-time Throughout the country we have seen states lifting social-distancing measures and spring breakers crowding the beaches of Miami. What is the effect that […]
According to the United Nations, the world has seen a rapid, seven-fold increase to the global population, leading to an important question in our quest to address human impact on climate change: how can we continue […]

Professor Martin Polz published a new research paper in Cell titled, “A reverse ecology approach based on a biological definition of microbial populations.” The researchers have developed a new method that allows for the identification of […]
Donald and Martha Harleman Professor Heidi Nepf and recent PhD student Jiarui Lei published research in the Journal of Fluids and Structures titled “Blade dynamics in combined waves and current” and in Coastal Engineering, titled “Wave damping by flexible vegetation,” that […]
Professor Eric J. Alm, Herman L.F. Von Helmholtz Career Development Assistant Professor Tami Lieberman, and graduate student Shijie Zhao published research in Cell Host & Microbe titled “Adaptive Evolution within Gut Microbiomes of Healthy People.” The researchers combined culture-based population […]
