The silent impact of underground climate change on civil infrastructure

Using the Chicago Loop district as a case study, and based on computer simulations, Prof. Rotta Loria and his team have shown that underground climate change, technically known as subsurface heat islands, is causing ground deformations “so severe that they lead to problems for the performance of civil infrastructure and should be considered in future urban planning strategies to avoid possible structural damage and malfunction.”
