The ECU Water Resources Center, which includes political scientists Drs. Samantha Mosier and Daniel Xu, will lead a new $5M Coastlines and People project sponsored by the National Science Foundation! The project includes faculty from across ECU, six collaborating universities (Manhattan Collee, NCCU, UNC-Greensboro, University of Virginia, Clemson University, and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science), and many regional partners throughout eastern North Carolina.
The project will enable unprecedented monitoring of the Tar River and Pamlico Sound as well as community-based science efforts to enhance the capacity of people in our region to collaboratively make decisions allowing for adaptation to a rapidly changing environment. We are especially excited that our project will focus on and support communities facing environmental injustices.
