Tomorrow, Assistant Professor David Rounce will take part in the United Nations celebration of World Day for Glaciers & World Water Day 2025. Rounce joins global leaders, scientists, and policymakers to discuss the critical impact of glacier retreat on water security and the urgent need for action. Join the event virtually on 3/21 from 10:00am-1:00pm EST at https://lnkd.in/gfyp_P8F

A CMU team, including Professors Mario Bergés and Burcu Akinci, supported a NASA project developing deep space habitats. Researchers proposed a digital twin framework to make environmental control and life support systems more autonomous, enabling the habitats to sustain human life on missions to the Moon or Mars. https://lnkd.in/epYQWCg2

Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University is excited to host our Spring Industry Workshop, Building Resilient Infrastructure: Civil & Environmental Engineering in a Changing World on Thursday, March 13. We have a great group of speakers and panelists who will discuss emerging technologies and strategies to enhance resilience and sustainability in the built environment, exploring questions like: How can resilience be designed, funded, and incorporated into infrastructure investments? How do we determine and account for the possible cost of resilience? And how do we initiate change and operationalize resilience engineering? Learn more and register to join us to take part in these critical discussions on 3/13:?https://lnkd.in/e9wQXXyP

Maral Doctorarastoo (Civil & Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University PhD candidate) is modeling how human behavior affects energy demand to create more energy efficient and adaptive building design. Celebrate Engineers Week!

Climate change has exacerbated glacier outburst floods, posing a growing threat to nearby communities like Juneau, Alaska. David Rounce and a team of researchers are developing robust models to better understand and predict glacial flooding and how it will evolve in the future. https://lnkd.in/eQw-HZbb

Ph.D. student Pratapaditya Ghosh worked with the Department of Chemical Engineering's Hamish Gordon to develop weather forecasting models that simulate fog droplet concentrations.

“Flexibility gives breathing room on the existing system.” Director Costa Samaras spoke with outlets including Utility Dive, Inside Climate News, and Latitude Media about a recent study from Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability. The research found that the existing U.S. power grid can accommodate increasing flexible loads from sources like AI data centers. https://lnkd.in/g-stAU_K https://lnkd.in/eVZMh6sN https://lnkd.in/eh-7rWEn
