Through the Community Research on Climate and Urban Science project, or CROCUS, University of Illinois Chicago researchers from several disciplines bring climate science to the neighborhood level. In collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and universities across the Midwest, UIC scientists and students deploy sensors and mobile labs around Chicago, study how trees and skyscrapers affect the city’s climate and meet with communities to understand their most urgent needs.
