Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Coastal: Center for Integrated Coastal Research

Cluster Lead:

Director & Professor of Civil, Environmental & Construction Engineering ivandavid.haigh@ucf.edu

Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Coastal focuses on integrating science and societal needs to address coastal issues and teach students conservation and resource management.

This Center, which has grown from it’s original cluster origination, works to understand complex local, national and global problems related to natural changes in coastal systems and those caused by humans.

The threats and challenges Florida faces are the same that coastal communities around the world face.

The solutions, methods and technologies developed at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ will have immediate application to other geographic locations, with the potential to be statewide and national models for how coastal states should address future environmental and economic challenges as well as growth opportunities.
