UCIRC Research
Research ranges from fundamental science to public policy. Our research portfolio includes:
-
A risk-based assessment tool for post-flooding open or close decision-making on roadways.
-
A national study to understand the strength of the relationship between extreme rainfall and flooding and the dependence of this relationship on watershed impervious cover.
-
State agency decision-making policy on the opening and closing of roadways during freeze-thaw conditions.
-
The development of a statistical approach to enhance downscaling of climate and weather parameters for New England.
-
Changing freeze-thaw impacts on low volume roads in seasonal frost areas.
-
Climate change informed life cycle assessment of pavement infrastructure.
-
Coastal road infrastructure vulnerability to the effects of sea-level rise, rising groundwater, and the impacts to the unbound layers of coastal roads.
