Coastlines in Crisis

Catalog description

Pairing students from coastal geographies through synchronous online and in-person lecture, we’ll explore trends threatening resilience of our coasts and their inhabitants. The science and public perception of coastal threats, sea level rise, and climate related issues will build a baseline for understanding the issues coastal communities face, including contributing factors, and the role of science, technology, and environmental policy in the delicate balancing act between nature and infrastructure.
