Engineering Resilient Coasts for a Changing Climate
The Climate-Resilient Coastal Systems (CReCS) Lab investigates compound coastal hazards and assesses their impacts and risks to help build more resilient coastal communities.
Research areas
Coastal Hazard Modeling
Compound Flooding
Computational & Experimental Hydraulics
Climate Risk & Resilience
Our Research
From physical processes to societal resilience
Our research connects coastal processes, hazard interactions, and societal impacts to support science-based climate adaptation.
02
Compound Flooding
We examine interactions among storm surge, waves, rainfall-runoff, drainage systems, and coastal defenses.
03
Computational & Experimental Hydraulics
We combine numerical analysis and hydraulic experiments to investigate complex coastal and urban flows.
04
Climate Risk & Resilience
We assess socioeconomic impacts and explore pathways for climate adaptation and coastal resilience.
Our People
