Welcome to the Webber Energy Group

The Webber Energy Group is Professor Webber's research group at the University of Texas at Austin.  We are part of the Cockrell School of Engineering, the Center for International Energy and Environmental Policy (CIEEP), the Clean Energy Incubator, the Jackson School of Geosciences and the LBJ School of Public Affairs.  We analyze energy problems at the intersection of science, engineering, and public policy.  Our research at the University of Texas can be organized into four broad topical areas:

1)   The Energy-Water Nexus

2)   Dynamic Modeling of Complicated Energy Systems (including the smart grid)

3)   Alternative Transportation Fuels (electricity, algae and natural gas)

4)   The Nexus of Food, Waste and Energy

The University of Texas at Austin, Center for Lifelong Engineering Education is offering a short course on Water, Technology, and Policy. The course will be held in Austin, TX at the AT&T Conference Center, Room 202

This course is designed to be multidisciplinary and is targeted for a mix of professional engineers, policymakers, academics, planners, water managers, and industrial representatives.  It will teach engineers about the societal aspects of water (law, policy, economy, etc.) and it will teach non-engineers the technical/scientific aspects.

Early Registration: $275.00
