Environmental Specialty

The Environmental Specialty conference (ENV) will focus on the environmental and public health facet of civil engineering and its importance in improving the quality of life for people and providing reliable infrastructure for societal benefits. It will explore research and technological advances concerning innovative approaches, assessment, and sustainable management/remediation of environmental impacts to water, air, and soil and the unique challenges faced in addressing the effects of climate change on infrastructure. Topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in environmental engineering projects are particularly welcomed.
