Anthony Straub is making major advances in water purification technology for industry and human consumption on Earth and in space, with his work on a nanotechnology membrane process taking a major step toward commercialization thanks to a new NASA grant.

Brooke Marten is engineering a better environment through high tech solid waste analysis.

Marten just completed her PhD in environmental engineering, focused on what happens to trash after it is carted off to the landfill – and ways to turn it into a valuable product.

U.S. News and World Report’s Best Graduate Schools rankings for 2025 are out, and the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder Environmental Engineering graduate program is #7 among public universities.

A Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder-led team has received a $650,000 grant to measure and mitigate pollution in the Cache la Poudre and Yampa Rivers in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ through new sensor technology, monitoring, and a voluntary carbon credits trading system with industry.

Engineers at Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder are investigating whether improving classroom air quality with air purifiers can help students miss fewer school days.

The study comes at a time when millions of students across the country are chronically absent from school, a worsening trend that could have large impacts on students’ academic performance.
