The Center for Drinking Water Optimization will focus existing resources and incorporate emerging technologies into optimization activities that will maximize public health protection while minimizing expenditures for existing and/or additional treatment processes. The Center will serve as a centralized resource that will address optimization issues with respect to current and future regulations, and utility and consumer perspectives.

INSTAAR is a graduate research institute engaged in interdisciplinary research leading to a predictive understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical interactions that regulate the earth system in arctic, alpine, and other regions. They base their studies on modern processes and those that have occurred in the past; thus, their work is directly related to the national and international goal of investigating global climate change. In pursuit of this mission, INSTAAR provides research and educational opportunities in an interdisciplinary environment for University of Colorado faculty and students, and joins other groups on and off campus in joint science programs.  Faculty and staff involved with INSTAAR: Diane McKnight
