The cover of the June 2023 edition of Nature Water features research by Associate Professor Tiezheng Tong and PhD student Yiqun Yao entitled “Electrodialytic crystallization to enable zero liquid discharge.” Wastewater with high salinity has typically required the use of evaporation or freezing to crystalize the salt thereby removing it from the water, but the process…Read more
Nick Christensen, a first-year PhD student working with Ryan Morrison’s lab, has been named a Fellow of the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (CASC). Southwest CASC’s mission is to “…develop actionable science and implementable climate adaptation solutions in partnership with natural and cultural resource managers, policy makers, Native Nations, and researchers across the Southwest.” This…Read more
The 2023 edition of Colorado State University RESEARCH magazine features the work of Hussam Mahmoud and his research group, in the article “Confronting the Climate Crisis: CSU meets a global challenge head-on with research, engagement, and students.” The new issue, which focuses on the theme of resilience, is out now in digital format, and will…Read more
Associate Professor Ryan Morrison and coauthors Ellen Wohl and Richard Knox of the Department of Geosciences received the news that their paper, “A river ran through it: Floodplains as America’s newest relict landform” was selected by faculty in the Warner College of Natural Resources for this year’s Outstanding Publication award. WCNR Dean Alonso Aguirre called…Read more
Along active faults like the San Andreas Fault in California, monitoring stations detect where subtle lateral movements happen – or don’t. If most of the fault keeps shifting, but one area remains still, it can be a sign that pressure is building there. That growing pressure will eventually be released in an earthquake, and scientists…Read more
Assistant Professor Tiezheng Tong is principal investigator on a project funded by the National Science Foundation to develop membranes for treating water that don’t require problematic “forever” chemicals.
Professor Hussam Mahmoud will represent the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine at two international meetings in November.
Professors Ryan Morrison and Peter Nelson are co-PIs on an Office of the Vice President for Research Quarterly Strategic Investment Proposal that will leverage CSU’s potential to be a national leader in fire impact research and facilitate the development of competitive interdisciplinary grant proposals.
9News interviewed Associate Professor Peter Nelson about his research to help reduce flash flooding by dropping mulch on wildfire burn scars.
A new study co-authored by Professor Hussam Mahmoud calls for a more strategic and interdisciplinary approach to pursuing wildfire research and protecting vulnerable communities.
