The 2025 CROCUS Urban Flooding and Rainfall Campaign
The United States Department of Energy-funded Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS) Urban Integrated Field Laboratory is a multi-year intensive research program that integrates long-term instrumentation deployments, intensive field observations, and multi-scale modeling efforts across the greater Chicago region to study the community-scale physics and impacts of extreme weather and climate events. As the second intensive field observation effort, the CROCUS Urban Flooding and Rainfall Campaign collected a suite of subsurface, surface, and remote sensing observations within Chicago neighborhoods, in partnership with organizations within and around the city of Chicago, to characterize hydroclimate dynamics before, during, and after flooding events in Chicago. Ongoing analyses will improve understanding of the drivers for extreme precipitation in an urban setting, and the impacts of heavy precipitation on urban communities, to inform efforts towards improving the resilience of Chicago-area residents to extreme precipitation events.
