The Center for Engineering Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CERCA) leverages data to unlock insights that help our communities adapt to the uncertain and complex challenges of the future. Through leading technologies and tools, like artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital twins, and sensing, CERCA translates cutting-edge research into policy actions and community guidance to make the most vulnerable communities resilient.
Mission
At CERCA, our mission is to translate climate science and systems analysis of the grid and built infrastructure systems into community guidance and policy actions that make the most vulnerable communities resilient.
Vision
We envision a future where a community's infrastructure exists in harmony with the people who live there and the surrounding, ever-changing natural environment. The infrastructure systems are equitable, sustainable, readily adaptive to climate stressors, and resilient to future extreme climate conditions.
