ODU Coastal Resilience Stakeholder Engagement Project
In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Coastal Resilience Center of Excellence at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
University-Community Partnerships to Build Community Coastal Resilience
A program (pilot funded by Sea Grant in 2015) that focuses on using real world resilience projects in coastal communities by connecting community organizations with university resources through service learning. This program focuses on building capacity for collaborative community-university resilience projects. Through this program we have connected faculty and students with service learning projects; these projects may provide case studies and lessons learned as part of our proposed activities.
The Virginia Climate Adaptation and Resilience Program
The Virginia Climate Adaptation and Resilience Program (jointly funded by ODU and Virginia Sea Grant) – to provide an extension program focused on outreach and collaborative research with coastal communities to encourage the development and implementation climate adaptation and hazards resilience plans and practices. This program has conducted outreach and engaged research in coastal localities in Virginia to develop a strong network of local and regional end users to help identify end user needs and challenges faced in utilizing university resources for addressing coastal resilience issues.
Rotating Resilience Roundtable
This is a collaboration between Virginia Tech and ODU to bring university researchers and stakeholders (such as local officials, NGOs, and resource managers) together to identify coastal resilience issues that faculty and stakeholders can collaborate on to pursue.
