The One-U Responsible Artificial Intelligence Initiative (One-U RAI) at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) has selected a new cohort of faculty fellows — including Dr. Ryan Johnson from our Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CvEEN). Johnson was recognized under the “Environment” thematic area for his work combining AI, hydroinformatics, and sustainability in […]
Read MorePh.D. candidate Helen Salako’s research was recently featured as a Technical Article in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Utah Section’s March newsletter, highlighting innovative approaches to sustainable agriculture in arid environments. Her article, “Utah’s Soil Future: How Biosolids Support Healthier Soils and Sustainable Agriculture,” explores how biosolids—treated organic materials from wastewater—can be repurposed […]
Read MoreThe University of Utah’s Energy & Geoscience Institute (EGI), in collaboration with CoolSky Energy Solutions LLC, has secured approval for Utah’s first-ever Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Applying to the Lisbon Valley Gas Processing Plant near Moab, UT, the plan marks a milestone in the state’s efforts to advance […]
Read MoreWhile geothermal energy is a clean and sustainable power source, its integration on a larger scale presents challenges, including the need for advanced technology to manage geothermal reservoirs, mitigate seismic risks, and address site-specific limitations such as resource location and drilling depth. Additionally, the initial investment costs and the complexities of infrastructure development can hinder […]
Read MoreWhat if Utah could lead the charge in addressing climate change by capturing millions of tons of carbon emissions? What if we could boost local economies and transform rural communities in the process? Thanks to a transformative $35 million in new grants from the Department of Energy (DOE), University of Utah researchers are bringing this […]
