UD receives $6 million in research funding on best practices for how coastal communities can combat sea level rise
September 13, 2024 | Written by Dante LaPentaIn the lowest-lying state in the country, the UD researchers are focused on the project “Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities.” The project received $6 million in funding; UD will receive more than $3 million for the research. Led by principal investigator Leah Palm-Forster, the team will focus primarily on the risks of flooding and salinization on coastal land. These issues are significant not only in Delaware but also in states like Rhode Island and South Carolina, where UD partners will collaborate on the work. Emi Uchida is leading the Rhode Island team, and Norman Levine is leading the South Carolina team. -
