Did You Know?
Last year, the New York Times Editorial Board used research from UC Irvine as the primary example of how scientific discovery can create transformative outcomes. When chemistry professor Sherry Rowland and his postdoc Mario Molina showed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) deplete ozone they helped to launch a campaign that literally saved the world. Following their discovery, several changes in policy took effect in the U.S. and in 1987 the world agreed on the Montreal Protocol, a global arrangement to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances. Fast forward to 2019 — the ozone hole was the smallest on record since its discovery.
UCI is fiercely dedicated to enhancing lives in our community and beyond through rigorous academics and cutting-edge discoveries. Here are a few of our latest accomplishments.
