What We Do
We're working with coastal communities to build a future informed by data, guided by strategy, and empowered by knowledge. Our work is organized around three core pillars: environmental sensors and decision support tools, community engagement and planning, and K-12 education and workforce development.
Environmental Sensors and Decision Support Tools
We're deploying a network of sensors throughout coastal Georgia to monitor environmental conditions and predict inundation in real time. We're also developing tools to visualize and explore that data, empowering local officials, practitioners, and community members to make informed, risk-based decisions to bolster community resilience.
Community Engagement and Planning
By engaging with communities and other stakeholders, we craft resilience strategies that prioritize collaboration and adaptability in the face of climate change. This approach ensures the strategies are tailored to the unique needs of each community we partner with. We also support organizations that serve vulnerable communities in building organizational capacity.
K-12 Education and Workforce Development
We're developing K-12 programs to increase understanding of climate resilience and providing educational opportunities to youth across coastal Georgia. We're also working to build capacity in the local workforce, helping communities gain the knowledge and skills necessary to understand, mitigate, and adapt to environmental hazards.
