环境工程与科学关注环境资源（例如水，空气，土壤）的质量和可用性以及影响环境资源的废物流。这个领域是动态的，最近发展到涵盖可持续性科学，替代能源和环境生物技术。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的环境工程与科学小组在废水处理，水处理，微生物生态学，微生物相互作用建模以及空气污染物检测等领域的实力得到国际认可。我们的核心员工在环境工程的生物学方面，水化学和空气质量以及新兴的生物信息学和生物燃料生产领域具有特殊的实力。我们在自然和建筑环境中进行应用和基础研究。结合了实验室实验，现场方法，分子生物学工具，中试规模的处理系统，
Environmental engineering and science is concerned with the quality and availability of environmental resources (for example, water, air, soil), and with the waste streams that impact them. The field is dynamic and has evolved to also encompass sustainability science, alternative energy sources, and environmental biotechnology.<br><br>The environmental engineering and science group at UW-Madison is recognized internationally for its strengths in the areas of wastewater treatment, water treatment, microbial ecology, modeling of microbial interactions, and the detection of air pollutants. Our core faculty have particular strength in the biological aspects of environmental engineering, as well as water chemistry and air quality, and in the emerging areas of bioinformatics and biofuel production. We conduct applied and fundamental research in both the natural and built environments. Laboratory experiments, field methods, molecular biology tools, pilot-scale treatment systems, analytical chemistry, and modeling approaches are combined to address scientific and engineering questions leading to a more sustainable water environment and better air quality.
