Civil and environmental engineering researchers at Colorado School of Mines have developed a mobile system for reclaiming the cyanide used in gold processing by small-scale and artisanal miners in Peru.

“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.

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.
