A University of Iowa research lab is looking to rebuild after last month’s tornado outbreak badly damaged it. The Board of Regents has approved a plan to make repairs to the IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering building in Coralville.

IIHR's James Street Laboratory in Coralville was destroyed during the severe storms on March 31.

The CAREER grant is among NSF’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty.

The University of Iowa College of Engineering is home to a new research center—the Center for Hydrologic Development (CHD)—that is designed to improve the country’s ability to predict and manage water-related hazards.

The Iowa Department of Resources says the segment is no longer impaired, but water quality experts are skeptical.

Riley Post won this year's Three-Minute Thesis competition. The competition tasks graduate students with relating their research in three minutes or less to a general audience.

University of Iowa researchers at the College of Engineering have been selected for a key role in a multi-institution, multi-disciplinary National Science Foundation (NSF) project to tackle a problem at the intersection of climate, sustainability, food, energy, pollution, and the economy.

The Mississippi River Basin is massive – it covers 40% of the contiguous U.S. and approximately two thirds of that area is farmland. Flooding and water quality are persistent issues across the basin, and experts predict they will only worsen with climate change and increasing intensity of agricultural production.

The two winning papers each represent outstanding research and dedication to environmental engineering and the impact of their research on the environment. While their subject matter differed drastically, the researchers both had a focus on water quality, and the dangers of contaminants in the home.

Fred Stern, the George D. Ashton Professor of Hydroscience and Engineering and a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Iowa, has received a $1.35M award from the United States Department of Defense, Office of Naval Research to develop a digital process for ship design, evaluation, and certification.
