Resilience of nature based urban stormwater management solutions to climate extremes

Background:
Leesu develops interdisciplinary research on water in the city to gain a better understanding of water and contaminants flows and fate in urban environments, and to develop innovative concepts for water and soil management. The research is based on in situ and/or controlled laboratory observations and their interpretation, in order to produce quantitative and predictive models. Leesu coordinates the OPUR observatory of urban hydrology, structuring scientific expertise in the Paris metropolitan area. The position is part of the EU project GreenStorm. It focuses on nature-based solutions for urban stormwater management and addresses the question of their implementation, performance and resilience for current and future climate extremes. It emphasizes the hydrological and thermal benefits of these devices as well as the stress suffered by vegetation during extreme events in 5 European cities. The project aims to assess the acceptability of these solutions and the conditions for their diffusion. It proposes to identify effective, resilient designs accepted by all, but also the levers to promote their implementation on a city scale and maximize the associated benefits.

Research activities:
The applicant will contribute to the workpackage 2 of the GreenStorm project, which targets local scale assessment of a range of NBSsw solutions. He/she will be in charge of two main project tasks:

- WP2a: construction and analysis of a NBSsw monitoring database accross Europe. This task builds on the hydrological monitoring datasets already available among project partners for a range of NBSsw, under contrasted climates. The postdoc will be in charge of finalizing data and metadata collection, sharing them in an open science repository and writing a data paper. They will also analyse previous publications associated with these datasets and summarize current knowledge regarding NBSsw performance. Additional analyses of the dataset could be considered to further refine the comparison between solutions and climates.

- WP2b: climate extremes simulation in SenseCity, for a raingarden and a stormwater tree. Sense-City is a 400 m² urban district model equipped with multiple sensors and a moveable climate chamberto simulate different climate conditions during short time periods. It represents a canyon street including 3 NBSsw with different vegetation layers: stormwater trees, rain garden and lawn. The scientific questions associated with this task are: how representative of real life conditions are such simulations in a closed chamber? What are the hydrologic and ecophysiologic responses of NBSsw to the simulated climate extremes? The postdoc will be in charge of proposing a climate extreme scenario and supervising its implementation in 2025, contributing to data acquisition, analysing data from both experiments and writing the associated project deliverable.
