Take the time to read @jimmor12& #39;s deep dive into how we make decisions about dealing with climate change impacts in our communities. For the most part, we don& #39;t. With the push for rebuilding our infrastructure, this isn& #39;t optional. With comments from me, @Alice_C_Hill, & others. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1380528334854103040">https://twitter.com/washingto...
Our 2018 research looked at the engineering standards of every State Department of Transportation. The number of engineering standards that included climate change? https://medium.com/resilient-infrastructure/https-medium-com-resilient-infrastructure-stormwater-27ed61efef4c.">https://medium.com/resilient...

With some amazing students, we& #39;ve built up an entire research program around this area, and we offer a climate adaptation for infrastructure graduate concentration. https://www.costasamaras.com/climate-change-adaptation

This">https://www.costasamaras.com/climate-c... paper outlined a framework on using climate model output:

This is our paper about the State DOT standards and climate change, but it also examines how the rain data everyone used and IS USING RIGHT NOW, is out of date for climate change: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aac696">https://iopscience.iop.org/article/1...
This paper examines how we might use rain information and climate model output to improve the performance of green infrastructure: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23789689.2019.1681819.">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/... We need to turn green infrastructure into infrastructure that used widely, instead of something of a bonus.
There& #39;s lot of uncertainty, but that shouldn& #39;t stop us from doing something. Do nothing is also a choice, a bad one: https://rdcu.be/b3xJM ">https://rdcu.be/b3xJM&quo...
