The Discipline 101 Series of the C-CoAST RCN concluded in April 20, 2022. We will keep participants abreast of future D101 opportunities.

Past Seminar Recordings

Disciplines 101 Seminar #10: Storm Impacts and Development

In Part I, Eli Lazarus and Evan Goldstein discuss questions that geomorphologists may ask surrounding the topic of storm impacts and development. For example, "Where does sand go during island overwash? How can we track the cool patterns it makes?" Katherine Anarde then covers the same topic, but from the perspective of a coastal engineer. She asks questions such as "How were bridges and roadways damaged? Can we predict their vulnerability to future storm impacts?".

Disciplines 101 Seminar #9: Predicting Water Levels along the North Carolina Coast and Compound Flood Hazards

In today's D101, Rick Luettich and Antonia Sebastian discussed how engineers and scientists predict coastal water levels and compound flood events using numerical and statistical models.

Disciplines 101 Seminar #8: The Economic Impacts of Climate Hazards

In this session, Miyuki Hino teaches us the language of Econometrics through a case study on chronic flooding in Annapolis, Maryland. 
Discipline 101 Seminars

Share “languages,” models, goals & perspectives

The Disciplines 101 Seminars are online gatherings in which researchers with a wide range of disciplinary expertise take turns teaching each other about the fundamental concepts, theories, perspectives, tools, and analytical approaches used in their disciplines. The idea is to spend time getting to know each other’s disciplinary languages in the deep way necessary to catalyze transdisciplinary collaboration. We will focus primarily on learning key disciplinary fundamentals (concepts and theories) most relevant to coastal research. However, participants will also highlight research projects and connections to other coastal research, providing the opportunity to think about common foci through different lenses, with emphasis on the time- and spatial-scale aspects of those lenses. These seminars focus on catalyzing new transdisciplinary academic research, but they are intended to be accessible to a broad audience, and community partners are encouraged to join.
