Civil & Environmental Engineering

Modeling Nature. Engineering Resilience.

In this era of unprecedented global change, our ability to thrive will depend upon our ability to adapt. Duke CEE develops and applies data-intensive approaches to the world’s most pressing problems. We model the effects of climate change, monitor natural disasters and quantify risks so that we can design smarter, healthier ways for our communities to grow.
