- by Education News CanadaCarleton University's engineering researcher Ahmed Abdulla has been named Canada's 2026 National Champion by the Frontiers Planet Prize for his research on direct air capture, a technology tha. . .
- by Tanya WeaverSolar geoengineering has the potential to boost plant growth and carbon storage in the Amazon, according to a study.
- by EurekAlert!Beavers are spreading northwards into the Arctic and a new study provides detailed evidence of their expansion by dating the changes they have been making to the tundra landscape. The research, which combines tree ring analysis (looking at beaver browsing scars) with satellite imagery of surface water (highlighting dams), has allowed scientists to track and date beaver […]
- by Francesco FiondellaGreeshma Gadikota and her team explore how materials that might otherwise be landfilled can be transformed into products needed for solar energy and other critical technologies.

- by Alejandra Fernandez AguilarBy Ty Burke From thawing permafrost to hundred-year floods that seem to happen every few years, climate change poses all kinds of engineering problems. And environmental engineers are at the forefront in solving them. “Environmental engineers are the people who deliver a solution,” says Cole Van De Ven, an Assistant Professor of Environmental Engineering at Carleton University. Carleton’s Bachelor of Environmental Engineering equips students to tackle emerging environmental issues. And this year, the […]
- by Shelby Bradford, PhDAvi Flamholz leverages computational tools and microbial biochemistry to improve climate models and provide novel engineering solutions to address climate change.
- by by Chinese Academy of SciencesMachine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising tool for tackling challenges in aquatic environmental research, especially in small-data scenarios where limited sample sizes and high dimensionality typically hinder model performance. This review assesses current ML approaches applied to small datasets in aquatic systems, focusing on data characteristics, modeling strategies, and optimization frameworks. By examining […]
- by By Marilyn MurphyVishal Lakshmi Narayanan has participated in many hackathons. In just the past year, the graduate student in data science, analytics and engineering at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering has attended over 10 and received recognition in six.
- by EurekAlert!Peatlands store vast amounts of carbon, but when drained for agriculture, they can become powerful sources of greenhouse gases. A new two year study shows that combining moderate water table management with biochar application can significantly reduce emissions, offering a promising strategy for climate mitigation.

- by macdoumlChemical Engineering Postdoctoral fellow Reza Eslami is bridging academia and industry through electrochemical innovations. His work advances scalable CO₂ conversion technologies to reduce emissions and support sustainable production of everyday materials.
- by Team IO+TU Delft’s new hub in The Hague redefines climate change as a critical threat to national and global security.
- by Eco-BusinessThe Global Forum Environmental and Water Resources Engineering (ENVIWATER2026) will be held from October 12-13, in Bali, Indonesia, bringing together leading researchers, academicians, industry experts, policymakers, and sustainability practitioners from around the world. ENVIWATER 2026 aims to…
- by ScienceDailyHuman societies didn’t just adapt to the planet—they learned to reshape it. From early fire use to today’s global supply chains, our cultural and social innovations have unlocked extraordinary power to transform Earth and improve human life. But that progress has come with serious costs, including climate change, pollution, and mass extinction. Instead of framing […]
