Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering Associate Professor Fernanda Leite argue for reductions in emissions and a statewide climate adaptation plan in an opinion piece for the Austin American-Statesman.

Since its founding, Planet Texas 2050 has used as its tagline: making Texas more resilient. But what do we mean by resilient? Architecture Assistant Professor Katherine Lieberknecht explains.

Whole Communities–Whole Health is a 5-year cohort study that looks at the different variables that affect childhood health. But what is a cohort study exactly? Psychology Professor David Schnyer explains.

When emergency crews are responding to floods, seconds matter. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin is developing an app that helps first responders assess the severity of floods instantly from their smartphones.

Urban heat islands — whereby cities experience much warmer temperatures than the suburbs — tend to reveal social inequities. Marginalized communities feel the brunt of the heat.

Timothy Keitt, professor of integrative biology, and Eric Abelson, research scientist, discuss the ways in which quickly advancing technology tools are transforming biological fieldwork.

For the past 20 years, heatwaves in Austin have worsened. Climate scientists believe this upward swing in extreme heat is in part due to a "heat island" effect, in which urbanized communities experience higher temperatures than outlying areas.

A team of Planet Texas 2050 researchers are creating a mobile app that will allow first responders to track flooding in real-time. It is made using sophisticated flood maps developed over a decade.

Planet Texas 2050 researchers are creating a mobile app that will allow first responders to track flooding in real-time. The new technology could help save lives and property.

Planet Texas 2050 is teaming up with The Drag Audio on a new podcast that will explore topics related to climate change, including everything from flooding to renewable energy.
