Everywhere on Earth, humans are stress-testing their environments. There are critical needs for clean air and water, for safe structures —and tough decisions to be made as we build, and re-build, after extreme events.
Duke CEE’s team of faculty, staff and students are working together to engineer equitable and sustainable solutions.
Duke CEE seeks to provide leadership, expertise and training for a generation of well-equipped and inspired engineers who will take on the grand challenge of reducing the effects of climate change.
We research the interactions between the two most complex systems known—humans and planet Earth. We seek new knowledge and to engineer solutions for a healthier and safer future.
