Disciplines 101 Seminar #16: Household Surveys as a Tool for Studying Resilience and Elevating Local Knowledge Through Participatory Modeling: Active Community Engagement in Restoration Planning

February 24, 2022 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM "Household Surveys as a Tool for Studying Resilience" – Elizabeth Frankenberg (UNC Chapel Hill) "Elevating Local Knowlege Through Participatory Modeling: Active Community Engagement in Restoration…

Disciplines 101 Seminar #15: Beyond Broader Impacts: Education for Community-Based Solutions

February 10, 2022 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM "Beyond Broader Impacts: Education for Community-Based Solutions" – Kathryn Stevenson (NCSU) and KC Busch (NCSU)  

Disciplines 101 Seminar #14: Food Justice and Food Insecurity and Cultural Value of Seafood in Coastal Communities

In this last D101 presentation of the Fall 2021 Series, Norbert Wilson first discusses concerns about food and racial disparity in food insecurity at national and regional levels. Grant Murray then zooms into the coast and discusses how coastal communities value seafood and the seafood industry. 

Disciplines 101 Seminar #13: Coastal Climate Impacts: How Do We Make the Science Relevant? and Long-term Resilience and Stochastic Optimization

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?

Disciplines 101 Seminar #12: Small But Mighty: Microbial Ecology and Biogeochemistry in the Coastal Zone and Microbial Water Quality and Extreme Flooding

In this first D101 of the Fall 2021 Series, Microbial Ecologist Dana Hunt of Duke University discusses microbial responses to pulse disturbances, focusing on hurricane impacts in the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound System (NC). Environmental Engineer Angela Harris of North Carolina State University then tell us about microbial contaminants in the coastal zone and water quality concerns during flood events.

Disciplines 101 Seminar #11: Climatology and Climate Challenges in NC

In this last D101 of the Spring Series (and Earth Day!), NC State Climatologist Kathie Dello discusses climate challenges in North Carolina, barriers to resilience, and the need for local solutions for climate adaptation. We end with a discussion amongst all attendees synthesizing the 2020-2021 D101 series.

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.

Coastal Review Online: “Region Eyes Ecotourism as Key to Adaptation”

Coastal Review Online wrote an article that references C-CoAST as an entity that addresses coastal resilience. 

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. 

Disciplines 101 Seminar #7: Environmental justice and local government; Environmental change and human migration

In this session, Danielle discusses how environmental racism is accomplished, and for what purpose, using a case study from Texas. David draws upon examples from Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Somalia to discuss the basic tenants of environmental migration and livelihood constellations.

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.
