Do not miss the wonderful Nina Stark on the topic of post-hurricane reconnaissance. This Wednesday, Oct 21, 1pm CT. 👇
Not looking forward to #HurricaneIsaias ! But definitely want to catch @UFWertheim Prof Stark's discussion of post-hurricane reconnaissance. (Register below.)
Wind engineers design a way to prevent damage to solar arrays. @NSF Impact 👇
Research to Resilience: Innovative wind engineering to help make solar energy more hurricane-resilient at FIU's NSF NHERI Wall of Wind. Read more: designsafe-ci.org/community/…
DYK? Solar-panel-tracker systems are delicate and prone to wind damage. At the @FIUExtremeEvent Wall of Wind facility, researchers are testing a low-cost solution to render them more resilient:
Natural hazards engineer Elaina Sutley, @kuengineering , knows how to communicate her research impact. Her post in @ConversationUS is going viral: theconversation.com/we-blast…
🎙️ Two expert perspectives. One conversation. Make research more impactful.
Join the #nheriPLC Oct. 27, 2026, at 12 PM CT with Giovanna Biscontin & Elaina Sutley to explore intellectual merit, broader impacts & research outreach.

Grateful for the founding partners of the NSF X-Labs Consortium! Together, @AsteraInstitute; @ginkgo; Tom Secunda at the @secundafund, @SloanFoundation, and other national philanthropic partners; and @MattCimaglia with @OccamFoundry and the @FLQuantumCenter will help NSF X-Labs launch a new generation of independent research organizations accelerating the pace of scientific discovery.

Another seismic retrofit completed! 🏢✅
Strengthening vulnerable buildings helps protect lives, reduce earthquake risks, and build safer communities.
At Optimum Seismic, we're proud to be part of the solution!
#SeismicRetrofitting #EarthquakeSafety
Great to see everyone!
We were excited to share some photos from the recent 40th Anniversary celebration for the @LehighATLSS at @LehighU. Founded in 1986, ATLSS continues to contribute to engineering research and practice.

An intrusion shook Kīlauea’s summit last night, September 30.
Dozens of earthquakes, rapid ground deformation, and shifting activity beneath Halemaʻumaʻu showed that magma was making a new path underground.
Scientists are watching closely and on an overflight this morning, saw that lava is still visible within the north vent.
