RESEARCH GOALS
- Identify, explain, and quantify the interactions and tradeoffs among the coastal community goals of economic prosperity and resilience to hazards.
- Develop methods to model long-term hurricane hazards in a way that accounts for changing coastal conditions and integrates wind, rain, storm surge, and wave hazards.
- Develop a computational tool to help design policies that can achieve sustainable economic prosperity and coastal resilience in the context of changing coastal conditions.
