The partners developed the Green Infrastructure Decision Tool, an innovative, data-rich forecasting and decision-making tool that assesses the effects of growth and climate change on built and natural urban surfaces. Based on the data and recommendations from CU 羞羞视频, Denver鈥檚 Green Infrastructure Group is听moving听forward with policy change recommendations that address actual problems and drivers versus a more traditional trial-and-error approach. The tool听won MetroLab Network's March 2019 "Innovation of the Month" award, given to outstanding projects nationwide that involve local government and university partners.
CEDaR听supports two dissertations and three听funded research projects related to spatial assessment and modeling of green infrastructure. These projects involve high resolution measurement and evaluation of green infrastructure patterns.听
