Theme 4: Coupled human and natural systems

Deep integration of human and natural systems that incorporates climate change scenarios is essential for sustainability. Monitoring, modeling, prediction, visualization, and scenario planning innovations at multiple scales and over the long term are widespread across the campus. These include, but are not limited to innovative interventions for flood mitigation and adaptation and novel engineering and design standards that support communities and the environment, including new approaches to infrastructure.
