CSI aims to advance understanding of the impacts of the urban underground on the subsurface temperature increase at the city scale. In this research, high-performance computing (HPC) based city-scale underground climate change simulator is developed. To calibrate and validate the… Read More »NSF – CMMI-EPSRC Modeling and Monitoring of Urban Underground Climate Change (MUC2)
CSI has proposed to develop and field demonstrate an integrated suite of novel, autonomous, and real-time NGS wellbore integrity monitoring technologies based on distributed electromagnetic and fiber optic reflectometry methods. Wellbore integrity is of paramount importance to the safe storage… Read More »CEC / LBNL – NGS-SMART: Natural Gas Storage – Safety Monitoring with Autonomous Reflectometry Technologies
UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers conducted a 4-point bend test and a shake table test to compare and evaluate the capabilities of two technologies: Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) and Phase-based Time Domain Reflectometry (φ-OTDR) in the… Read More »CEC / LBNL- Integrated DFOS for Realtime Monitoring of OWT Gearbox and Tower Operation and Marine Animal Activities
Testing wildfire evacuation strategies and coordination plans for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) communities in CaliforniaIn the event of a wildfire, government agencies need to make quick and well-informed decisions to ensure the safe evacuation of people. Small communities in Marin County… Read More »Berkeley ITS – Testing wildfire evacuation strategies and coordination plans for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) communities in California
