Disciplines 101 Seminar #13

“Coastal Climate Impacts: How Do We Make the Science Relevant?”

Patrick Barnard (USGS)

“Long-term Resilience and Stochastic Optimization”

Sara Shashaani (NCSU)

In this second D101 of the Fall 2021 Series, Patrick Barnard discusses how coastal vulnerability to sea level rise and flooding — from days to decades — is assessed at the federal level by the USGS. Industrial and Systems Engineer Sara Shashaani then talks about uncertainty analysis in problems related to coastal resilience: how do we account for uncertainty over long time scales when data-driven models are data poor?
