In this webinar,
Dr. Joshua Humberston (Director, Marshfield Coastal Hazard Lab at ARII), Lara Brait (Director of Industry Partnerships, ARII), and Jeremy Devaney (Executive Director, ARII) will discuss 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 will follow the presentation.
