Chioma Onwumelu and Moones Alamooti have quite a few things in common with one another. The two women have graduated from the College of Engineering & Mines, both work at the University of North Dakota as researchers, and each has a passion for spreading awareness and inspiration for their profession. Now, they have another thing in common: they’ve written an exciting new children’s book together.

While dinosaur DNA remains unrecoverable, molecular paleontology still has come a long way, says Paul Ullmann, assistant professor of Geology and Geological Engineering.

On April 12, Jefferson Tester, Professor of Sustainable Energy Systems at Cornell University, will be the next Leading Edge of Earth & Planetary Sciences Lecture Series (LEEPS) guest speaker at UND. At 12:15 p.m. in Leonard Hall, Room 109, Dr. Tester will present his presentation, “How advances in subsurface science and engineering will accelerate the development of geothermal district heating.”

On April 5, energy entrepreneur Mike Umbro will be the next Leading Edge of Earth & Planetary Sciences Lecture Series (LEEPS) guest speaker at UND. In the Leonard Hall Lecture Bowl (Room 100), Mike will be presenting two afternoon presentations.

Students, faculty/staff, and the Greater Grand Forks community are invited to help with this important process in bringing these fossils ‘to life’. No prior experience or tools are necessary, and you do not need to be affiliated with UND to participate – all are welcome!

UND’s Harold Hamm School of Geology & Geological Engineering will host a presentation by one of Montana’s leading dinosaur paleontologists at 12:20 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 16, at UND’s Leonard Hall, Room 100.

Edmontosaurus specimen — found by team led by UND paleontologist — will be displayed at Leonard Hall.

Energy magnate Harold Hamm visits UND to outline his vision for the future of America’s energy policy — a policy he has played a significant role in shaping through his company’s innovative approach.

On Friday, October 6, 2023, the University of North Dakota College of Engineering & Mines celebrated the achievements of three distinguished alumni during the annual Alumni Academy Induction Ceremony.

For Darin Buri, the opportunity to see the foundation of UND’s very first building – Old Main – and to collect, analyze and save brick samples from it was an experience he wasn’t sure he’d ever get.
