When a nuclear bomb goes off, it starts a chain of events whose effects reach far beyond the blast site. Over the next three years, Professor Yunping Xi of civil, environmental and architectural engineering will be involved in a study to quantify those effects in the event of a nuclear...

The study co-authored by Professor Diane McKnight comparing dissolved black carbon deposition on ice and snow in ecosystems around the world (including Antarctica, the Arctic, and alpine regions of the Himalayas, Rockies, Andes, and Alps) shows that while concentrations vary widely, significant amounts can persist in both pristine and non-pristine areas of snow.

How do chemical messages rising from a piece of rotting food signal a mouse to turn left to find it? How does the shape and movement of that mouse’s odor plume alert a hungry predator that it’s getting close? And precisely what goes on inside that predator’s brain when, in response to what it smells, it changes course? These are not the questions John Crimaldi, an engineer who specializes in fluid mechanics, imagined he would be asking someday.

Civil engineering teams who designed their own versions of a water storage site are highlighted in article and video.

This is the second major sports facility project for Ellen Becker (ArchEngr'14) as a project engineer with Mortenson Construction.

2017 has certainly been a good year for Elizabeth Delesky, a PhD student in Assistant Professor Wil Surbar’s Sustainable Infrastructure Materials Lab . In March, she was one of 27 CU Boulder students to receive a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. The awards recognize outstanding graduate students from across...

Four civil engineering students win the chance to create a Red Bull Slopesoakers course, complete with jumps, rails and a circus-style trapeze.

Kevin and Paul Brinkman's company has spun out into Brinkman Colorado, which handles real-estate development, Brinkman Construction, which is self-explanatory, and Waypoint, a brokerage, consulting and investment firm.
