climate risk and earth sustainability

Reference: http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.36680.49929

Research Objectives of the CRisES team @ ESSG:

  1. Plan sustainable mitigation and adaptation strategies
  2. Quantify climate risk for natural hazards and extremes
  3. Build dynamic observatories  to map key variables in the changing climate

Projects: 

  1. Preparing for a World of Extremes​ (MIT Climate Grand Challenges Project): Physics, Statistics, and Machine Learning for
    • Flood Models: New particle approaches integrated flood modeling from coastal to infrastructure.
    • Flood Risk in a changing climate: coastal, fluival, and pluvial at 100m scale and above.
    • Downscaling, Uncertainty Quantification, Surrogate Modeling, Nowcasting, Parameterization, and Decision Problems
    • Synthetic Extra-tropical  Storm models  
  2. CREWSNET: Climate Resilience Early Warning System Network (MIT Climate Grand Challenges flagship project)
  3. FLOOD LOSS RISK (Liberty Mutual Quest for Intelligence project)
    • AIML for Downscaling Precipitation, Surrogate Flood Modeling, and Flood Loss Risk Modeling (severity and frequency).
  4. STRATORO 
    • Intersecting with the CAOS theme, we are developing an autonomous lightweight stratospheric observatory
