Team
A team of interdisciplinary researchers, led by The New School’s Tishman Environment and Design Center and Urban Systems Lab, are working collaboratively to develop a comprehensive analysis of future potential climate conditions and associated socio-economic impacts in New York City. Specifically, the team is:
- Developing climate projections for the NYC region, including high resolution heat risk and exposure projections, storm surge risk analysis, and coastal flood mapping,
- Characterizing current and future extreme heavy rainfall in New York City,
- Conducting a systematic assessment of health-related economic costs from climate-sensitive events in New York City, and
- Creating a Coastal Flooding Vulnerability Index for New York City
