Fair Network of Micrometerological Measurements
The COST FAIRNESS action intends to improve standardization and integration between databases/sets of micrometeorological measurements that are part of research projects or local/regional observational networks established for special purposes.
2021 - 2025
CORDEX URB-RCC
Active
URBan environments and Regional Climate Change
The main goal of this CORDEX Flagship Pilot Studies (FPS) project is to understand the effect of urban areas on the regional climate, as well as the impact of regional climate change on cities, with the help of coordinated experiments with urbanized RCMs.
Since 2016
Wudapt
Active

Data2Resilience
Active
Data2Resilience
The project "Data2Resilience" focuses on data-driven measures and services for monitoring thermal comfort within the city of Dortmund. The aim is to enhance resilience to extreme heat in Dortmund sustainably and optimize energy efficiency in both building structures and urban infrastructure.
Since 2020
ENLIGHT
Active
ENablig the anaLysIs of Global urban HeaT
The overreaching goal of the project is to develop a consistent and generic methodology that enables globally consistent analysis of urban heat islands worldwide. This is done via satellite earth observation and crowdsourcing.
