Air Quality
Research Professor Christine Wiedinmyer is an atmospheric expert whose research investigates the impact of air pollutants on air quality, climate and public health. In this article by The Conversation, Wiedinmyer gives a behind-the-scenes look at how NOAA forecasters use technology to predict the weather, and how important they are to the fabric of our everyday life.
Greg Rieker, associate professor of mechanical engineering and co-founder of LongPath Technologies, gathered with others on the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder campus to celebrate a $162.4 million loan package from the U.S. Department of Energy. The loan will help Rieker and LongPath expand methane detection using laser-based quantum devices that scan the atmosphere in real time.
The National Science Foundation has bestowed three prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards to University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder mechanical engineering graduate students.The national awards recognize and support
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder Engineering study finds at least nine pesticide chemicals near Boulder County homesThe air quality study, led by mechanical engineering PhD candidate Aniya Khalili, aims to inspire the community to lead cleaner lifestyles and promote further research on pesticide exposure.
Professors Michael Hannigan and Marina Vance join scientists from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ and NOAA to install instruments in surviving houses to understand the smoke impacts on indoor air quality.
Professor Shelly Miller shares her recent research about COVID-19 transmission with The Conversation.
When possible, choose electricity over gas at home. Using natural gas makes your home a hidden source of air pollution, according to research from mechanical engineering faculty.
A team of scientists led by the Department of Mechanical Engineering are using the once-in-a-lifetime event to answer an unusual question: How much do vehicles in a city like Los Angeles add to the ammonia emissions that can hang in the air and sicken residents?
The reusable cloth masks people have been using for the past year or more may look a little worse for the wear. But new research from Professor Marina Vance finds that washing and drying them doesn’t reduce their ability to filter out viral particles.
Two ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ scientists working in NOAA laboratories contributed to the World Meteorological Organization's first-ever Air Quality and Climate Bulletin.
