  Disaster Resilience Symposium: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Coastal Resilience  
(Academic)

Virginia Tech's Interdisciplinary Coastal Hazards Research Team and the Disaster Resilience Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Program present an interdisciplinary symposium focused on the important issue of coastal resilience. The symposium will consist of a brief introduction and welcome followed by presentations from three distinguished speakers:

Chad Briggs, strategy director for GlobalInt, will discuss how planning scenarios can address unique, highly uncertain futures and how public participation can help to inform scientific research and formal modeling. (2:30 to 3:30 p.m.)

Brian Blanton, director of environmental initiatives at Renaissance Computing Institute at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, will discuss state-of-the-art numerical modeling methods, high-resolution representations of regional topography and bathymetry, and advanced statistical methods for generating improved digital flood insurance rate maps. (3:30 to 4:30 p.m.)

Professor Donald Resio, director of the Taylor Engineering Research Institute at the University of Northern Florida, will present a talk that focuses on developing a global perspective for community resilience by examining the complexity of coastal problems and uncertainties in a number of areas around the globe. (4:30 to 5:30 p.m.)

Attendees are welcome to join the symposium for either some or all of the presentations.
