Discipline 101 Seminars

Disciplines 101 Seminar #6: History of environmental justice, housing market discrimination

In this session, we learn the history of environmental justice research in the United States, which has roots in North Carolina. Chris then discusses how housing market discrimination has varied over time with a recent example using online rental markets.

Disciplines 101 Seminar #5: Political science, planning, and public policy

This session introduced fundamental concepts related to political science, public policy, and planning in coastal communities.

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.
Disciplines 101 Seminar 1

Disciplines 101 Seminar #1: Positive and Normative Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics

The purpose of this first session was to provide scientific scaffolding to facilitate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration throughout the project. Mullin and Smith made connections between two different activities in social science and policy and illustrated these connections with examples from coastal policy. McNamara and Murray introduced the language, theories, and methods of nonlinear dynamics that are central to the core questions C-CoAST seeks to investigate and provided examples from coastal systems.
