Climate Extremes, Risk, and Resilience Lab (climateX)
Led by Nasser Najibi · Agricultural and Biological Engineering
What we study
The climateX Lab studies how climate change affects infrastructure and ecosystems, using data and models to improve resilience. They focus on extreme weather risks and developing tools for better planning.
