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.

该职业项目解决了三个关键的城市可持续发展挑战：城市变暖和极端高温、空气污染和水资源保护。中心主题是（1）研究城市热岛效应和全球气候变化对空气污染动态的影响，（2）量化干旱条件如何调节城市热岛效应和空气污染动态，（3）探索协同减少城市变暖、空气污染和用水的解决方案，(4) 通过综合教育和宣传传播研究成果。该研究旨在在推进基础工程和科学知识与获得可用于解决环境问题的实际研究结论之间取得平衡，使这些结论为公共政策和教育提供信息。这些知识对于为城市提供良好的工程和科学基础来制定协同缓解极端高温、改善空气质量和减少用水的政策至关重要。主题（1）和（2）将使用先进的物理化学模型、测量数据进行研究-驱动方法，以及一种新提出的技术，用于量化气候变化不确定性下城市空气污染的未来。主题（3）将利用主题（1）和（2）下的科学进展，对几个与政策相关的研究问题进行定量调查。这些问题集中于旨在降低城市温度和/或城市用水的解决方案对空气污染的潜在好处和意外后果。研究、教育和推广将通过以下方式进行整合和评估：(a) 将研究结果传达给政策制定者、公用事业公司和项目咨询委员会的其他利益相关者，提供制定环境政策的途径，并接收研究反馈，以确保它可以转化为现实世界； (b) 通过为贫困中学生创建基于研究的科学模块，开展 K-12 外展活动； (c) 继续追求一种身临其境和发自内心的方法，通过创作和表演音乐来激励学生和公民过上可持续的生活，使他们与环境有更大的联系； (d) 培训研究生并将研究成果纳入 PI 在南加州大学的研究生课程。
