GOLDEN, Colo., Dec. 1, 2015 – The Renewable Energy Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at Mines is providing $90,000 in seed funding each to five faculty projects that could lead to a winning proposal to the National Science Foundation’s MRSEC program in fall 2016.

The funded proposals are:

Williams

GOLDEN, Colo., Nov. 2, 2015 – Professor of Chemistry and Geochemistry Kim Williams has been awarded $450,000 by the National Science Foundation to develop thermal field-flow fractionation as a versatile technique for separating and characterizing complex nanoscale materials. As part of this research, insights will be gained into the 160-year-old enigma of why materials move along a temperature gradient in liquids.

GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 16, 2015 – The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) received $500,000 in matching funds through the U.S. Geological Survey’s 3D Elevation Program to collect high-resolution Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data over Mesa County, a priority area due to the prevalence of geologic hazards related to its unstable rock units.
