A 秋葵视频 researcher recently received a $377,000 grant to better protect the southeastern coast of the United States from the threats of flooding, storms, hurricanes and erosion. The Governors鈥� South Atlantic Alliance (GSAA), an environmental organization headed by the governors of the four involved states 鈥� Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and North Carolina 鈥� received $1.06 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Regional Ocean Partnership federal funding opportunity to fund several grants. 鈥淲e are extremely pleased with the investment that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has made in this program,鈥� said Charles Patterson, Vice President for Research and Economic Development at Georgia Southern, 鈥渁nd we look forward to active participation in the multi-state efforts to support the region鈥檚 coastal and marine spatial planning goals.” Georgia Southern researcher Clark Alexander鈥檚 project will work to enhance the capabilities of a software tool called AMBUR (Analyzing Moving Boundaries Using R), which will determine the coastal areas that are most vulnerable to natural hazards. The data, combined with economic factors, will determine the pros and cons of coastal development in vulnerable areas. AMBUR was created by Georgia Southern professor Chester Jackson, and the project to develop the tool on a larger scale will last 18 months. Partners in all four states will gather data throughout the process. 鈥淭he core of the project is to develop a new hazard-vulnerability tool that can be applied in the whole region,鈥� said Alexander, director of Georgia Southern鈥檚 Applied Research Laboratory and professor at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Savannah, Ga. 鈥淧roject partners are going to be gathering the data sets that we need, and we are going to use the tool in all four states. At the end of the day, we鈥檒l be providing this tool so anybody can use it. Hopefully it will be adopted across the U.S.鈥�
