"Modeling Coral Reef Restoration to Reduce Coastal Hazards from Scales of Kilometers to Centimeters" Speaker: Curt Storlazzil, Senior research geologist, U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Please register for this event About the Speaker: Curt is a senior research geologist in the U.S. Geological Survey’s Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program that specializes in coastal hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics on tropical coastlines. He presently leads a team examining the geologic and oceanographic processes that affect the growth and vitality of coral reefs, the hazard risk reduction they provide adjacent coastlines, and how climate change and sea-level rise will increase flooding hazards to and reduce the resiliency of coral reef-lined coasts and their associated communities. Curt is currently a technical lead on DARPA’s Reefense Program, a US 5th National Climate Assessment chapter author, on the steering committee for the US Coral Reef Task Force, and regularly contributes scientific review for the Department of the Interior, Department of State, and Department of Defense along with the US’s and other countries’ National Science Foundations. |
