Researchers examined three different types of roofing strategies and their impact on near-surface temperature and cooling energy demand through regional modeling in the Chicago area.

Climate change fueled extreme weather events, like flooding, are happening more frequently. Argonne researchers and partners have developed a new methodology for estimating increased flood risk from climate change.

Students from across the Chicago region worked closely with Argonne scientists to tackle future urban climate challenges.

Researchers from Argonne’s CROCUS Urban Integrated Field Laboratory discussed making communities more resilient to climate change.

On the heels of wildfires and flooding, an Argonne-led project from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Urban Integrated Field Laboratory will help neighborhoods understand climate change in Chicago.

Climate change is bringing flooding, heat islands and extreme weather to Chicago. An Argonne-led project from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Urban Integrated Field Laboratory will help neighborhoods understand and adapt to the city’s changing climate.

Community Research on Climate and Urban Science will conduct neighborhood-scale climate research aimed at advancing scientific understanding and empowering communities to identify climate and energy solutions for a sustainable future.
