ASU engineers are working on a warning system called Flood Aware, which uses traffic cameras to predict and report urban floods.
A team from Arizona State University has developed a new method to forecast seismic hazards caused by the disposal of wastewater after oil and gas production.
Drylab2023, an Arizona State University effort, simulated a near-future fictional scenario of global water shortage and yielded insight about conflict and collaboration.
New research uses satellite data to map the Houston-Galveston area that Hurricane Harvey impacted to understand why the flooding was so severe and widespread. The study shows that land elevation and slope are changing rapidly and FEMA may need to update its maps more frequently to account for such changes.
In this interview, Dave White, one of the authors of the U.S. Fourth National Climate Assessment, says the report once again confirms the overwhelming scientific consensus that there is evidence of human-induced climate change. As weather extremes worsen, climate change plans must improve the joint management of interconnected systems to enhance resilience.
Researchers have completed some of the most sophisticated modeling of the effects of climate change and urban centres in the United States, and are finding that some of today's proposed solutions, such as cool roofs and street trees, will provide only a fraction of relief from the projected heat.
The program’s culminating experience, an applied project, provides opportunities for students to make direct and positive impacts in their home communities.
The Biosecurity and Threat Management concentration of the Emergency Management and Homeland Security (EMHS) master’s degree prepares students to utilize best practices toward protecting living organisms against hazardous biological agents.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Commitments (SFVC) online platform serves to incentivize stakeholders to inform the public about their work, to provide a vehicle for sharing commitments and initiatives and for motivation toward the implementation of the Sendai Framework. In turn, UNDRR can monitor and take stock of the progress and impact.
Arizona State University is involved in the following commitments:
