COASTAL HAZARDS @ VIRGINIA TECH

Research Themes

Picture

Disaster Resilience

​We aim to reduce the potential for coastal hazards to evolve into disasters, in the context of both climate stressors (e.g., sea-level rise) and societal stressors (e.g., population growth).

Hazard Assessment

We aim to improve the reliability of quantitative coastal hazard assessments, including future projections incorporating sea-level rise and climate change.

Natural Infrastructure

We aim to improve understanding of the role of vegetation and beaches in coastal hazard mitigation, including the influence of sea-level rise on their mitigation potential.
