EAC team members will work on an interdisciplinary team at Rutgers to integrate an existing suite of coastal hazards mapping tools into a unified platform. This new platform will integrate the latest climate science, exposure assessment techniques, and best practices in resilience planning. The project will include stakeholder engagement to identify suggested improvements to the new […]

Using the outcomes from the New Jersey based science and technical advisory panel on coastal storm and sea level rise and research undertaken in coastal communities in Virginia, EAC investigators are working to identify the criteria and characteristics of communities with concentrations of ‘ocean economy’ related businesses. Afterward, they will be conducting interviews with economic […]

Water-dependent uses require sites that provide access to coastal waterways. This requirement also means that water-dependent uses are inherently vulnerable to risks from coastal hazards. The EAC team is working with NOAA to develop “Resilience Planning for Water-Dependent Uses”. The guide leverages the geospatial capabilities of ESRI Story maps, and uses the web-based tool to […]
