Civil Engineers Think About Infrastructure Resilience in a Global Way
February 25, 2016 - Dr. Mahmoud Taha
In December, University of New Mexico Civil Engineering Department Chair and Professor Mahmoud Taha and Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Mark Stone traveled to the Suez Canal for a conference sponsored by the National Science Foundation. They were there to talk about resilience. Stone presented a talk on ways to apply resilience theory to socio-ecological systems and how that framework can be applied to water resources infrastructure projects, while Taha chaired the workshop and talked about methods to quantify infrastructure resilience.
