CUBISM(Center for Urban-Based Infrastructure Security and Management)
CUBISM was established in July, 2003 in The Henry Samueli School of Engineering,University of California, Irvine. The goal of the Center is to address the issues of
reliability, homeland security and management as they pertain to the nation's
infrastructure systems in a multidisciplinary framework. A seamless integration of
natural science, engineering, management, economics and social science studies will be
carried out to cost-effectively prevent, protect and respond to natural and man-made
hazards, including terrorist attacks. The Center consists of the UCI faculty from theDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and of Electrical Engineering
and Computer Science (EECS) interested in the infrastructure security and management.
The Center is currently in the process if appointing members with management,
economics, risk, social science expertise in the UCI faculty and elsewhere. At this time,
the Center website is under construction. Interested parties may find the following
websites to be informative.

Improve hydrologic prediction through
development and refinement of hydrologicmodels and use of advanced observations,particularly from remote sensing sources
Develop decision support toolsfor generating and evaluating avariety of hydro-meteorologic
and hydro-climatologicinformation required by the
water resources managementcommunity
Develop mathematicalalgorithms capable of estimating
precipitation both from space-based and in-situ observations atspatial and temporal resolutions
relevant to hydrologicapplications, particularly in the
semi arid environments
Contribute to the education of welltrained hydrologists and water resources
engineers responsive to the growing needs ofpublic and private sectors at the state,
national and international levels.

The Urban Water Research Center's (UWRC) mission is to advance
the understanding of the distinct characteristics of the urban water
environment in order to assist people and institutions in their effort
to promote health, enhance the efficient use of water resources,
and protect environmental values.
The Center links faculty from 6 departments at UC Irvine:
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Earth System Sciences
Ecology and Evolutionary BiologyEnvironmental Health, Science, and Policy
Environmental Toxicology
Planning, Policy, and Design

THE INSTITUTE OF TRANSPORTATION STUDIES
The Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS), a University of California organized
research unit with branches at Irvine, Davis, and Berkeley, was established to fosterresearch, education, and training in the field of transportation.
A fundamental goal of the Institute is the stimulation of interdisciplinary research on
contemporary transportation issues. ITS research at the University of California, Irvine
(UCI) involves faculty and students from The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, the
School of Social Sciences, the School of Social Ecology, the Graduate School ofManagement, and the Department of Information and Computer Science. The Institute
also hosts visiting scholars from the U.S. and abroad to facilitate cooperative research
and information exchange, and sponsors conferences and colloquia to disseminate
research results.
ITS is also part of the University of California Transportation Center (UCTC), one of ten
federally-designated centers for transportation research and education, and a member of
the Council of University Transportation Centers, (CUTC).

CEE Affiliates
The purpose of the UCI Civil and Environmental Engineering(CEE) Affiliates is to provide an effective means to offer support
and guidance to the Department, its programs and students, and
to act as an interface between the professional civil and
environmental engineering community in Southern California,
particularly in Orange County, and the University. The CEE
Affiliates include senior executives representing leading civil and
environmental engineering firms (both large and small) and
public agencies, as well as individual members.
