Science 101: What is Climate Resilience?

Argonne’s Science 101 series takes you back to the basics, with plain-language explanations of the scientific concepts behind our pivotal discoveries and our biggest innovations.

In this Science 101: What is climate resilience video, engineer Tom Wall and scientist Rao Kotamarthi describe how experts are preparing our nation’s infrastructure – transportation, hospitals, manufacturing, food supplies – to withstand the effects of climate change.

The first step is to build climate models and then project those into the future. Experts can use the data that climate models generate to protect our infrastructure from future disruption.
