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 #4: Oyster Restoration, Climate, and Fisheries Ecology

This session introduced ecological concepts to address (1) central questions in managing oyster restoration, and (2) the impact of climate change on Northeast US fisheries.

Disciplines 101 Seminar #3: Natural Resource Economics and Coastal Resources

This session introduced concepts in environmental and resource economics to (1) address central questions in managing coastal resources as natural capital that depend on feedbacks between human decisions and geophysical processes, and (2) the role of housing markets in reflecting the value (cost) of coastal amenities (risks) in response to the changing environment.

Disciplines 101 Seminar #2: Geomorphology of Sandy Coastlines

This second session described 1) how sandy shorelines and barriers are created, maintained, and moved by wave and storm processes and rising sea level, and 2) how human actions interact with the processes that reshape and potentially maintain barrier environments.
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.
