Environmental and Water Resources Engineering

Two graduate students in full lab gear are examining wastewater samples.

UB CSEE engineers track COVID-19 and other viruses, make the world more sustainable through research and action at a community-level, develop innovative ways to purify water, protect the Great Lakes, and fight pollution in our air and water. Additionally, researchers within this discipline collaborate with partners across the School to focus on Engineering Sustainability.
