Dorit Hammerling, associate professor of applied mathematics and statistics, co-founded the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab to directly implement processes to detect and stop natural gas leaks.

A regional carbon storage hub near Pueblo, Colorado, works with local stakeholders to find emissions solutions.

For Mines faculty members Ryan Venturelli, Matthew Siegfried and Brandon Dugan, cross-collaboration is key to addressing climate science challenges

Kim, assistant professor of metallurgical and materials engineering, won the award as part of a multi-university team working on electrodeposition of nickel, cobalt

Geophysicists Mengli Zhang and Yaoguo Li are working with the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a joint industry program to develop exploration techniques to find hydrogen trapped underground.

“It is clear that the only viable path to mining development in the U.S. requires a dual focus on innovative technologies and techniques and engagement with communities, Tribes and wider society,” said Morgan Bazilian, Director of the Payne Institute.
