The USGS Western Geographic Science Center is offering a grant for a CESU partner to conduct research on assessing socio-ecological vulnerability to coastal-change hazards from North Carolina to New York. The project aims to develop a conceptual framework and metrics to identify hotspots of community vulnerability to various coastal hazards. The research will focus on dune erosion, inundation regimes, and overwash potential from winter storms, nor’easters, and hurricanes. The goal is to create a spatially-explicit framework for understanding community vulnerability and support strategic sciences at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Closing date: Apr 25, 2014.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Geographic Science Center (WGSC) is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research on a conceptual framework and a portfolio of multi-scalar, multi-sector, comparative metrics to assess socio-ecological vulnerability to established coastal-change hazards on the U.S. northeast coast from North Carolina to New York. This research will be used to support the identification of hotspots of community vulnerability to dune erosion, inundation regimes, and overwash potential related to typical annual winter storms, nor¿easter storms, and category 1-4 hurricanes for coastal communities. The project goal will be to develop and implement a spatially-explicit framework for assessing and communicating variations in community vulnerability to coastal-change hazards that can support strategic sciences at the U.S. Department of the Interior. |
