This CAREER project tackles three critical urban sustainability challenges: urban warming and extreme heat, air pollution, and water conservation. The central themes are to (1) investigate how air pollution dynamics are impacted by both the urban heat island effect and global climate change, (2) quantify how the urban heat island effect and air pollution dynamics are modulated by drought conditions, (3) explore solutions to synergistically reduce urban warming, air pollution, and water use, and (4) disseminate research results using integrated education and outreach. The research aims to strike a balance between advancing fundamental engineering and science knowledge, and achieving practical research conclusions that can be used to solve environmental problems, allowing the conclusions to inform public policy and education. Such knowledge is critical to give cities a sound engineering and science basis for developing policies to synergistically mitigate extreme heat, improve air quality, and reduce water use.Themes (1) and (2) will be investigated using advanced physicochemical modeling, measurement data-driven approaches, and a newly proposed technique to quantify urban air pollution futures under uncertainty in climate change. Theme (3) will make use of scientific advances under themes (1) and (2) to enable the quantitative investigation of several policy-relevant research questions. These questions focus on the potential benefits and unintended consequences on air pollution of solutions intended to reduce urban temperatures and/or urban water use. Research, education, and outreach will be integrated and assessed by: (a) communicating research results to policy makers, utilities, and other stakeholders on a project advisory board, providing pathways for developing environmental policies, and receiving feedback on the research to ensure that it can translate to the real world; (b) carrying out K-12 outreach by creating a research-based science module for underprivileged middle school students; (c) continuing pursuit of an immersive and visceral approach for inspiring students and citizens to live sustainable lives by creating and performing music that gives them a greater connection with their environment; and (d) training graduate students and incorporating research results into the PI's graduate course at USC.

这个职业项目应对三个关键的城市可持续性挑战：城市变暖和极端暖气，空气污染和节水。中心主题是（1）研究如何受到城市热岛效应和全球气候变化的影响，（2）量化城市热岛效应和空气污染动态如何受到干旱状况的调节，（3）探索解决方案，以减少城市热量，空中污染，水利用以及（4）使用集成的研究结果和（4）使用集成的研究结果，并使用集成的研究结果。该研究旨在在推进基本工程和科学知识之间取得平衡，并得出可用于解决环境问题的实践研究结论，从而使结论能够为公共政策和教育提供信息。这种知识对于为城市提供合理的工程和科学至关重要，以制定政策以协同减轻极高的热量，改善空气质量并减少用水。将使用先进的物理化学建模，测量数据驱动的方法以及一种新提出的技术来量化Urban Air Purtunion Futerution Futenution Futentions climate interimations climations consectity change consections（1）和（2）。主题（3）将利用主题（1）和（2）下的科学进步来实现对几个与政策相关的研究问题的定量研究。这些问题着重于旨在降低城市温度和/或城市用水的解决方案的空气污染的潜在利益和意外后果。研究，教育和外展将通过：（a）在项目咨询委员会上与政策制定者，公用事业和其他利益相关者进行沟通和评估。 （b）通过为贫困中学学生创建基于研究的科学模块来进行K-12外展； （c）继续追求一种沉浸式和内在的方法，以激发学生和公民通过创造和表演音乐来过着可持续的生活，从而使他们与环境建立更大的联系； （d）培训研究生，并将研究结果纳入USC的PI研究生课程。
