We’re published! Our Director Dr. Wendy Stout recently co-authored a chapter in “The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery,” which outlines post-disaster stages of the disaster cycle and discusses disaster response and management practices. #Vtcoastal

We had a great time today at our open house! We heard from educators, life-long Hampton Roads residents and environmental volunteers about their experiences with issues like sea level rise, and talked about the work we are doing to promote coastal resiliency. #communitybuilding
