“Creating an approachable and intellectually stimulating environment is key to bringing more women of all backgrounds into the field of computing,” said Iris Bahar, professor and head of the Computer Science Department at Mines.

“As scientists, we need to lead the way for society to have a better understanding of how climate change is affecting our water resources," said Adrienne Marshall, assistant professor of geology and geological engineering at Mines.

Christopher Higgins, University Distinguished Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado School of Mines, was honored for his research on poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, also

U.S. Naval War College, University of Texas and Colorado School of Mines have been selected to research critical minerals, battery technology, and reducing dependence on hostile suppliers in the clean

"There are places on Earth that we still haven’t explored,” said Matthew Siegfried, assistant professor of geophysics at Colorado School of Mines and a lead author of the paper, published March 9 in Geology. “We have now one sample trying to understand an environment that is one and a half times the size of the continental United States."

Low-sulfidation epithermal deposits are one of the most important sources of gold in the United States.

Mechanical Engineering's Paulo Tabares Velasco is leading a collaborative project to cut carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency for a Colorado manufactured home community.

Siegfried's focus is Whillans Ice Stream in West Antarctica, whose flow has been slowing over the course of several decades.

Dong Chen, assistant professor of computer science at Colorado School of Mines, has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for research that aims to give users of smart home devices more

“The complexity and scope of this mission is a good demonstration of the breadth of research going on in the Physics Department and at Mines as a whole,” Professor Lawrence Wiencke said.
