In this webinar, Sarah Gao (Senior Product UX Designer, Spotter, Sofar Ocean) is joined by Dr. Joshua Humberston (Director, Atlantic Resiliency Coastal Hazard Lab), Jeremy Devaney (Executive Director, Atlantic Resiliency Innovation Institute (ARII)), and Lara Brait (Director of Partnerships, ARII) to detail how ARII:
Addresses coastal hazards by deploying Spotters along Massachusetts’ coastline to deliver real-time ocean insights, support storm preparedness, and increase public awareness of changing coastal conditions
Connects data with communities by partnering with local agencies and NIST to integrate Spotter data into hazard analysis and community resilience planning
Invests in the future by building a regional hub that advances research, education, and economic resilience to scale coastal protection across the Atlantic seaboard
A live Q&A follows the presentation.
