Earth Exploration

Mines researchers and alumni are at the forefront of U.S. water management challenges, working on mitigation, water reuse, new water systems, alternative renewable energy and more.

Improving durability and developing alternative materials, with biochar, mine tailings and more, are among the research ideas being pursued by Civil & Environmental Engineering faculty.

Through the SIF, academic and industry partners, along with current faculty, students and alumni, can more easily access the university's world-class research equipment and instrumentation, as well as the technical expertise to use them.
