UCR's Office of Research and Economic Development (RED) has announced over $1.7 million in competitive funding for faculty research projects through its Opportunity to Advance Sustainability Innovation and Social Inclusion initiative, known as OASIS. The projects range from probing the severity of COVID-19 infection in Riverside County, through sustainability and resilience in agriculture; to finding ways to mine lithium needed for electric car batteries from brine below the Salton Sea.

Project funded by the USFS R9 aims to 1) assess state capacity, interest, and needs for forest monitoring, modeling, and data interpretation; and 2) fill state-level knowledge gaps via the development of knowledge transfer materials.

Cities release 70% of CO2 emissions and utilize two-thirds of global energy production, while buildings consume more than one-third of global final energy consumption; thus, growing energy-usage efficiency in buildings provides more opportunities for sustainable development.
