Laboratory Initiatives
Developing new insights and applying findings to practice.
Infrastructure+Anthropocene
anthropocene.resilientinfrastructure.orgRethinking infrastructure as complex systems in an era of accelerating, uncertain, and non-stationary environments and needs.
Icarus
icarus.resilientinfrastructure.orgUnderstanding and mitigating person-based heat exposure. Simulating city-wide behavior, infrastructure, and environmental conditions to characterize and reduce temperature-related risk.
Perses
perses.resilientinfrastructure.orgUnderstanding and improving the reliability of water distribution networks to aging and climate change.
Wildfires
wildfires.resilientinfrastructure.orgCreating new approaches for understanding the vulnerability or transportation networks to wildfires and post-wildfire debris flows.
SyNF: Synthetic Infrastructure
synthetic.resilientinfrastructure.orgSynthesizing coupled water and power distribution networks at urban scales.
Convergence
convergence.urexsrn.netAccelerating resilience thinking through coupled social, ecological, and technological systems and complexity.
Neptune
rise.resilientinfrastructure.orgCharacterizing military base infrastructure resilience to aging, climate change, and kinetic attacks.
FloodAware
floodaware.orgDeveloping realtime flood detection and reporting technologies for roadways.
Collaborations
Supporting research and network building globally.
Researchers in the Resilient Infrastructure Lab support several capacity building initiatives aimed at accelerating how infrastructure is designed and managed in the Anthropocene. These include:
UREx SRN
The Urban Resilient to Extreme Events Sustainability Research Network supports urban transitions that are resilient by virtue of their flexible, adaptable, socially equitable, and ecologically based infrastructure in the face of extreme events, more culturally diverse communities, and continued urbanization pressure.

ASU Metis Center
The Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering seeks to provide the basis for understanding, designing and managing the complex integrated built/human/natural systems that increasingly characterize our planet in the Anthropocene.
