Dr. Bernice R. Rosenzweig is a faculty member in Environmental Science at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. She received a B.S. in Environmental Geology from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. Her research investigates the resilience of urban socio-eco-technical systems to extreme rain and tidal events.  She is particularly interested in the impacts of cloudbursts on the function of urban sewer systems and the design of strategies to mitigate stormwater flooding and protect water quality during these events. As part of the Urban Resilience to Extremes Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN), her current work focuses on coastal, post-industrial cities in the northeast United States. Dr. Rosenzweig is also a member of the New York City Panel on Climate Change and the Baltimore Urban Waters Flood Steering Team.
