IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering at the University of Iowa has partnered with Iowa towns and major cities in the nation and world to manage their stormwater challenges, with the goal to efficiently discharge excess flows that can harm the environment and endanger people.

With Mother Nature as his muse, assistant professor and IIHR researcher Cong Wang conducts fundamental fluid dynamics research at the UI College of Engineering.

Because of budget cuts, Winneshiek County in northeast Iowa replaced a USGS river gauge with an Iowa Flood Center stream sensor. The sensor measures water levels in real time, giving officials the early warning they need before a flood hits. They turned to the solution after being priced out of a federal gauge.

Scientists at the University of Iowa have announced a research initiative designed to measure the health impacts of exposure to environmental toxins, including pesticides, heavy metals, and air pollutants.

The University of Iowa is launching a major new research initiative aimed at better understanding how environmental exposures may impact human health, with researchers focusing on issues ranging from cancer and maternal health to childhood development and water quality.

Researchers at the University of Iowa are launching a major study to understand how water quality and cancer rates are connected.

UI researchers are launching a new statewide effort to better understand how environmental exposures may affect the health of Iowans. The Iowa Integrated Network for Science, Information and Geospatial Health Tracking, or Iowa INSIGHT, launches July 1.

The University of Iowa announced a new research program, the Iowa Integrated Network for Science, Information, and Geospatial Health Tracking (INSIGHT). David Cwiertny at the UI Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination says the project will study how environmental factors like nitrate and PFAS affect Iowans’ health.
