The Interdisciplinary Research Themes (IRTs) were initiated by the College of Engineering & Applied Sciences to build on our college and campus strengths, prepare for future research opportunities, and accelerate our positive impacts to our state and nation through internal college funding. The Water Energy Nexus IRT was launched in January 2018 with the goal of bringing together researchers from different disciplines to address the pressing challenges surrounding water, energy, and associated systems such as food, land, air quality, and climate.
