Institute of Environmental Engineering

The Institute of Environmental Engineering (IIE) at EPFL focuses on sustainable design and translational science to address environmental changes. Research areas include understanding environmental systems, integrating data and models, human-environment interactions, and developing cutting-edge technologies. The institute's work is crucial for protecting the cryosphere and studying climate change impacts, with a particular emphasis on Valais as a laboratory for climate research. Research projects at IIE cover a wide range of topics such as position and attitude determination, mapping and remote sensing, and the development of autonomous mapping systems. The institute invites collaboration to tackle the challenges of living sustainably in the Anthropocene era.
