The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory will host an Atlantic Coastal Resilience Workshop with the goal of bringing together academia, industry, government, and nonprofits to forge a path forward in strategic development of coastal resilience in the Atlantic region.
By building up our coastlines against the rapidly approaching and catastrophic effects of climate change, our coastal ecosystems, infrastructure, and communities will be able to “bounce back” from disruptive events, which is of emerging importance for dense cities, military bases and critical infrastructure, and essential ecosystem resources. In this workshop, U.S. government agencies and experts in the field will discuss the challenges and opportunities in the coastal resilience space, share emerging technical results, and discuss how attendees can apply their expertise to the challenges presented.
