Title: "Resilience Hubs: Human-Centered Analysis of Transportation Considerations"

Resilience hubs are emerging as a strategy to reduce the effects of disasters on communities as resource distribution centers and/or shelters while also serving the needs of residents daily. However, the current implementation of resilience hubs has failed to integrate transportation in the placement of hubs, determine transportation services to/from hubs, or understand the mobility needs of residents most likely to use the hubs.

Title: "It’s an Engineering Challenge"

We are facing environmental challenges unparalleled in human history. Much of the attention is on climate change. It is, however, a slowly developing threat, and the full consequences will not be made manifest until the distant future. The more immediate challenge we face is related to land use-land cover change. In Florida, we have gone from a mostly natural to a largely built environment in the last 150+ years.

Civil Engineering Professor Awarded NSF Early CAREER Grant for Novel Wind Research
