Building Resilience to Sea Level Rise Through Science Innovation and Community Engagement

When	Tuesday, May 11, 2021, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
Where	Online (Zoom)
Event Types	Lectures/Seminars
Event sponsors	Washington Sea Grant is celebrating 50 years of providing research, outreach, communications and education to Washington’s marine communities. EarthLab has partnered with Washington Sea Grant for a special three-part series that builds upon Collaborating Across Difference, an exploration in how individuals from different disciplines, communities or geographies come together around a common goal.

Description	People living in Washington’s coastal areas face a host of natural hazards that are being exacerbated by sea level rise, ranging from nuisance flooding during King Tide events, eroding coastlines and wave damage. Incorporating sea level rise projections into the decision-making process will help Washington communities build resilience to coastal hazards. The Washington Coastal Resilience Project employed technical innovations and community engagement to rapidly increase the state’s capacity to support proactive local action on these hazards. Presented by: Nicole Faghin, coastal management specialist, Washington Sea Grant; Harriet Morgan, researcher, Climate Impacts Group; Ian Miller, coastal hazards specialist, Washington Sea Grant RSVP Below:
