WELCOME

This is the homepage for the CU Energy in Society Lab, an initiative led by Dr. Sarah Stanford-McIntyre, an Assistant Professor in the Herbst Program for Engineering, Ethics & Society at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  

Dr. Stanford-McIntyre researches the social and environmental impact of energy systems. Her group uses digital tools to map the long-term economic, social, and environmental impact of the energy industries. The group is currently working on “Electrifying Colorado,” which uses the power of new mapping softwares and data visualization tools to connect seemingly disparate and unrelated industry data.
