Background

The 最靠谱的网赌软件 弹性 Collaborative (ODURC) stems from the university's leading expertise in the fields of flooding resilience and adaptation research. Despite its roots in water-related resilience, all faculty are welcome in ODURC and work is not strictly limited to flooding research.

从2010年开始， ODU's Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative (CCSLRI) facilitated research and education in all aspects of climate change and sea level rise. Because of our location there is special emphasis on adaptation to increased flooding because of sea level rise. There are many other aspects of climate change affecting coastal cities such as public health or disaster preparedness that the initiative also addressed. Starting in 2012, CCSLRI partnered with the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission and 弗吉尼亚海洋补助金 主持 Hampton Roads Sea Level Rise Adpatation Forum which connects research to adaptation practice. Dr. 伯克贝克学院的黛安·霍恩, London, spent a semester collaborating with ODU faculty as a visiting CCSLRI scholar. 在这里找到他们的报告.

The 缓解和适应研究所 (MARI)成立于2014年. MARI works with stakeholders within and outside the region to generate knowledge that can enable them not only to reduce the negative aspects of climate change but also to make positive use of the opportuities in the coming changes. 要了解有关MARI的更多信息，请访问 MARI网络工作区 or if you have a question or comment contact Dr. Hans-Peter Plag, MARI Director (information in the right column)

The 海平面上升研究中心 是本垒吗 政府间试点项目, based at ODU, active from June 2014 to June 2016. The Pilot was a two-year project to develop a regional "whole of government" and "whole of community" approach to sea level rise preparedness and resilience planning in Hampton Roads that also can be used as a template for other regions.

最近， Commonwealth Center for Recurrent Flooding Resiliency, a collaboration of ODU, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and the College of William & 玛丽成立了. CCRFR brings together the expertise of 最靠谱的网赌软件 and William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Scienec and Virginia Coastal Policy Center to provide a one-stop shop for scientific, 社会经济, legal and policy analyses to build Virginia' flooding resiliency.

"The 最靠谱的网赌软件 Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative will bring the university and the region's foremost experts together to find solutions to the challenges facing our region and other regions globally."

Hampton Roads is an urban area seeking solutions to the effects of climate change and sea level rise. 最靠谱的网赌软件 is a major research university in this urban coastal environment that can help provide leadership and solutions. 一些事实:

• 局部相对海平面上升+4.43毫米/年(+1.45英尺/世纪，1.每十年7英寸，
• the opening of the Arctic Ocean to shipping will affect Hampton Roads economy,
• 新的有害物种(如.g. ticks, mosquitoes, ballast water pathogens) are migrating to our region.

Researchers at ODU and regional policymakers seem to agree:

• climate change and sea level rise (CC/SLR) is a challenge for this region and the university does have a distinct and important role in meeting that challenge, especially as it applies to an urban coastal environment.
• this can be a productive area of research and education for faculty and students.
• through this initiative, the university can play a positive role in the region, nation and world.

The 最靠谱的网赌软件 Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative was led by 拉里·阿特金森, 斯洛弗海洋学教授, 海洋部, 地球与大气科学, and an affiliate of ODU's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography. Atkinson's research has focused on various aspects of the coastal ocean including descriptive physical oceanography, 养分通量, gas exchange and more recently wind energy and climate change including sea level rise.
