This $255,344 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Notre Dame aimed at advancing understanding of interactions between urban systems and storms and heatwaves. Specifically, the grant supports analysis of how intra-urban land surface properties and characteristics, urban aerosols, and changing urban landscapes impact extreme weather events in cities like Chicago, New York, and Denver. The University will utilize numerical modeling, new measurement techniques, and data from satellites and earth observations to characterize non-linear effects on urban boundary layer processes. Project results seek to improve weather forecasting capabilities for cities and serve as a new paradigm for integrated studies of sustainable and resilient urban systems, especially in evaluating future urbanization and climate adaptation strategies. Outcomes will be disseminated through publications, conferences, webinars, and social media. The grant also supports training of one postdoctoral fellow and two graduate students in interdisciplinary atmospheric science. Funded through the National Science Foundation's $47.0M Engineering directorate, this award addresses the agency's mission to foster innovation in engineering research and education.
