Duke's graduate program in Environmental Engineering was placed #9 in this year's U.S. News & World Report rankings. Come and see why for yourself.
Dear Colleagues,
It's been an exciting summer for Duke's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, filled with students building new infrastructure abroad and faculty making insightful discoveries into how our society is working to tackle climate change. Below are just two examples making headlines the past few months of our faculty working to protect our most vulnerable citizens from the worst affects of a warming planet—and our efforts to prevent it. Stay on the lookout for more stories this coming fall as we continue to build on the Duke Climate Commitment to address these critical issues.
A sub-class of PFAS chemicals was uncovered near lithium-ion battery factories and disposal facilities. Discover why that’s a big problem for the most popular battery on Earth.
It has been, yet again, the hottest summer on record. See why Duke researchers say that it has probably been even hotter than anyone thinks in certain urban areas.
