Coastal Risks & Engineering Lab @UCF

The CoreLab is heading to hashtag#AGU25 in New Orleans next week!

Take a look at our flyer and check out the talks and posters our team will be presenting. Feel free to stop by our sessions and reach out to chat about our latest work.

Looking forward to great conversations and new connections!

🎉 Congrats to @pravinm.bsky.social !
He has been awarded the FSAEF Scholarship, given to only four students across Florida for excellence in stormwater management.

He received the award at the Florida Stormwater Association Winter Conference 2025 in Kissimmee. We’re proud of his achievement! 🌧️📘👏

Why hurricane flooding is about to get more dangerous in Florida Florida’s coral reefs provide protection from hurricane storm surges—and experts estimate that losing key species in those reefs could imperil thousands of lives.

@thomas-wahl.bsky.social was featured in National Geographic discussing the rapid decline of Florida’s coral reefs and what it means for coastal resilience, with reefs suffering unprecedented losses in 2023.

Screenshot of the paper titled "Transdisciplinary research promoting clean and resilient energy systems for socially vulnerable communities: A review" published in Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews journal.

Excited to share our latest paper on transdisciplinary research for clean & resilient energy systems in socially vulnerable communities!

We analyze how climate-induced extreme weather impacts energy infrastructure & propose solutions for equitable solar+storage integration.
