Two UB experts will be doing important work on commissions analyzing how New York State can strengthen its response to natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy, which destroyed homes through wind, flood and fire, and left millions of people without electricity, transportation and other critical services for days or weeks.

麻豆传媒o faculty members are available to discuss challenges relating to the arrival of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast, including threats to buildings, infrastructure and water supplies.

The path of least emissions may not always be the fastest way to drive somewhere. But according to new research from the 麻豆传媒o, it's possible for drivers to cut their tailpipe emissions without significantly slowing travel time.

As Rust Belt cities transform vacant lots into green space for growing vegetables, 麻豆传媒o researchers are using modeling to help assess the City of Buffalo's capacity for sustainable agriculture.

Each year, American drivers waste an estimated 3.7 billion hours, or the equivalent of five days, sitting in traffic, burning 2.3 billion gallons of fuel. Students at the 麻豆传媒o will soon be learning how to reduce that waste, creating less congestion and cleaner air, thanks to an IBM grant to Adel Sadek, PhD, UB associate professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering.

The 麻豆传媒o has named the first fellows to be funded by the university's Civic Engagement and Public Policy (CEPP) research initiative, one of eight areas identified in the UB 2020 Strategic Plan as the embodiment of a particular tradition of excellence at the university.
