Jeanne Herb discusses Rutgers Coastal Climate Risk and Resilience Initiative in short video
In this short video, Jeanne Herb, Executive Director of the EAC Group at Rutgers Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, describes the Coastal Climate Risk and Resilience (C2R2) Initiative, which is an innovate and interdisciplinary certificate program that trains gradate students to better integrate all the elements of coastal systems and become fluent communicators, […]
Jeanne Herb co-authors report on addressing ocean acidification impacts in New Jersey
EAC Group’s Jeanne Herb, in partnership with Grace Saba and Janine Barr, co-authored Opportunities to Address Ocean Acidification Impacts in New Jersey: An Outline of Options for the New Jersey Coastal Management program. The report was made possible with financial assistance through the NJDEP’s Coastal Management Program. Ocean acidification (OA) is the process by which […]

A seat at the table: Integrating the needs and challenges of underrepresented and socially vulnerable populations into coastal hazards planning in New Jersey. Submitted to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Climate Resilience. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ. […]
EAC Group with Other Rutgers Experts Provide Recommendations on Climate Change Resilience
Rutgers experts, including Jeanne Herb of the Environmental Analysis and Communications Group, provide sound science and evidence-based recommendations on how to be more resilient to climate change-related impacts in four essays. Read their recommendations here and access online resilience tools that can help New Jersey, counties, towns, businesses and residents adapt to climate change-related impacts. […]
EAC Team to help integrate coastal hazards mapping tools into unified platform
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 […]
EAC Produces TNJ Resilient Webinar Series
EAC created and presented a three-part webinar series on resiliency planning co-sponsored by the Together North Jersey (TNJ) Resilience Task Force and the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA). Webinar 1: “Climate Change and Wetland Restoration” Rutgers University’s current projections estimate a 1.4-foot rise in water by 2050, leaving coastal and riverine communities increasingly vulnerable […]
EAC Assists with Groundbreaking Joint Land Use Study at NWS Earle
A Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is a cooperative planning effort between local governments and military installations. Working with the County of Monmouth, NJ, a team from the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy worked with Maser Consulting, P.A, HR&A Advisors, and AECOM to help develop climate resilience analyses and recommendations for […]
Risk Perceptions and Economic Development in New Jersey Coastal Communities (NJSGC)
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 […]
NOAA Working Waterfronts
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 […]
