Participants will benefit from five years of research and evidence gathered...

PhD student Briar Goldwyn, Dr. Amy Javernick-Will, and Dr. Abbie Liel have published a technical paper in ASCE's Natural Hazard Review titled "Dilemma of the Tropics: Changes to Housing Safety Perceptions, Preferences, and Priorities in Multihazard Environments".

The bill entitled "Emerging Technologies for Water Management", signed by Colorado Governor Jared Polis, directs our team at the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering and the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University to work together to identify and test new technologies for monitoring, management, conservation, and allocation of surface...

The role of engineers in contributing to global poverty reduction and in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is evolving. Typically, the engineer’s role in addressing these challenges has been confined to community-, regional-, or national-scale service interventions and technology design and development. However, after fifty years of such approaches, over...

Isolation caused by lack of transportation infrastructure affects almost every facet of life for the rural poor. Without adequate transportation access, families cannot access schools, health care, employment, or local markets to sell and buy goods. The World Bank estimates that nearly a billion people worldwide lack access to an...
