Center for Advancement toward Sustainable Urban Systems The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program supports the enhancement of research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. With National Science Foundation support, California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA) establishes the Center for Advancement toward Sustainable Urban Systems (CATSUS). Its goals are to: (1) advance novel and transformative research focused on issues related to the generation, supply, consumption, protection and revitalization of energy and water systems within the framework of urban environments, (2) increase the research capacity of Cal State LA, and (3) develop highly-effective undergraduate and graduate level research education curriculum, training and opportunities in STEM fields for underrepresented minority groups at Cal State LA. Research interests in sustainable urban systems stem from the fact that energy consumption in urban areas is responsible for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, although urban areas cover only 3-4% of the planet’s surface area, they affect 41% of watersheds globally. CATSUS will integrate research findings into undergraduate and Master’s level engineering education, K-12 and community college outreach, and policy-informing components, while creating pathways towards doctorate and postdoctoral research programs. Three research thrusts aim to advance knowledge in the areas of physics, chemistry, engineering, materials science, experimental techniques, and modeling methodologies. Research outcomes from the thrust areas will be transformative, addressing both fundamental and applied questions relating to sustainability of urban energy and water resources. The thrust area of Energy Systems and Management in Buildings will (1) develop new thermal management strategies in buildings and photovoltaic devices, and (2) advance knowledge regarding urban bio-derived fuels and grid-scale energy storage systems. The second thrust area, Advanced Materials for Energy and Water Applications, will develop/design new materials for (1) highly efficient photovoltaics, and (2) water treatment including wastewater remediation and seawater desalination. The third thrust area, Resilience of Urban Water Bodies, will develop (1) novel and effective water resource and sediment management strategies, and (2) novel experimental approaches to ascertain the long-term impacts of wildfires and microplastics on urban watershed water storage and quality.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

科学技术卓越研究中心（CREST）计划通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心，支持增强为少数民族服务的机构的研究能力。 CREST促进新知识的发展，提高个别教师的研究生产力，并扩大历史上在科学，技术，工程和数学学科中代表性不足的学生的存在。 在国家科学基金会的支持下，加州州立大学洛杉矶（Cal State LA）建立了可持续城市系统发展中心（CATSUS）。 其目标是：（1）推进创新和变革性研究，重点关注城市环境框架内能源和水系统的产生，供应，消费，保护和振兴问题，（2）提高加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的研究能力，（3）开发高效的本科和研究生水平的研究教育课程，为加州州立大学洛杉矶分校代表性不足的少数群体提供STEM领域的培训和机会。 对可持续城市系统的研究兴趣源于这样一个事实，即城市地区的能源消耗占温室气体排放的70%。 此外，尽管城市地区仅占地球表面积的3-4%，但它们影响着全球41%的流域。 CATSUS将研究成果整合到本科和硕士水平的工程教育，K-12和社区学院的推广，以及政策通知组件，同时创造通往博士和博士后研究计划的途径。 三个研究方向旨在推进物理，化学，工程，材料科学，实验技术和建模方法等领域的知识。 重点领域的研究成果将是变革性的，解决与城市能源和水资源可持续性有关的基本问题和应用问题。 建筑物能源系统和管理的重点领域将（1）开发建筑物和光伏设备的新热管理策略，以及（2）推进有关城市生物衍生燃料和电网规模储能系统的知识。 第二个重点领域是能源和水应用先进材料，将开发/设计用于（1）高效光化学和（2）水处理（包括废水治理和海水淡化）的新材料。 第三个重点领域，城市水体的恢复力，将制定（1）新颖有效的水资源和沉积物管理战略，（2）新的实验方法，以确定长期-野火和微塑料对城市流域水储存和质量的长期影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
