Scientists at ORNL have developed a first-ever urban heat wave simulation that takes into account the compounding effects from building infrastructure. The method provides a more accurate picture of the impacts from excessive heat on at-risk
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and partner institutions have launched a project to develop an innovative suite of tools that will employ machine learning algorithms for more effective cybersecurity analysis of th
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have opened a new virtual library where visitors can check out waveforms instead of books.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed free data sets to estimate how much energy any building in the contiguous U.S. will use in 2100.
Scientists at ORNL completed a study of how well vegetation survived extreme heat events in both urban and rural communities across the country in recent years.
Evaluate the historical performance and future projections of compound heatwave and drought (CHD) extremes across the contiguous United States using CMIP6 global climate models, providing insights for regional adaptation strategies in response to
The objective of this study is to explore and analyze the spatial patterning of sociodemographic disparities in extreme heat exposure across multiple scales within the Conterminous United States (CONUS).
OR-SAGE (Oak Ridge Siting Analysis for power Generation Expansion) can be used to identify sites where a prototype chemical reactor would be the best options with respect to different technology scenarios.
Members and students of the Computational Urban Sciences group demonstrated a method for generating scenarios of urban neighborhood growth based on existing physical structures and placement of buildings in neighborhoods.
