Computing Resilience in an Era of Uncertainty

In an era of frequent, powerful storms, fast-spreading wildfires and global pandemics, communities are discovering their vulnerabilities when they can least afford it. “We need to rethink what it means to be resilient. I use the boxing analogy ‘roll with the punches’: the ability to absorb the shocks of extreme events and recover quickly,” says Michel Boufadel, the director of NJIT’s Center for Natural Resources. “But to do so, the whole system needs to work together. It doesn’t matter if the power stays on, but 90% of the roads are closed.”

A Fly Fisherman Diagnoses Maladies on a Beloved River

Wading into a parched stretch of the Pequannock River, Taylor VanGrouw got a jarring reminder of the fragility of New Jersey’s smaller waterways: a brown trout stranded in a shallow pool, too lethargic to swim away as he approached. “As temperatures rise, dissolved oxygen levels decline, in the way a bottle of soda, when hot, can’t hold its fizz. Starved of oxygen, trout can’t feed or reproduce. As temperatures rise, they become more stressed and need more oxygen,” notes VanGrouw, an Albert Dorman Honors student majoring in mechanical engineering.
