I am a PhD student at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering who work on Sustainable maintenance of paved areas for year-round accessibility for all users project. This project is a part of GreeNexUS project to develop sustainable maintenance methods and strategies for urban paved areas to ensure year-round accessibility for all users and economic sustainability, while reducing CO₂ emissions. This takes into account that today, municipalities in cold climates struggle to reach their CO₂ emissions targets, within their economic constraints without sacrificing accessibility and safety for all users.
