At #AGU22 , Marissa Webber will present her research on modeling urban flood impacts (agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/meeti…) and on nature-based solutions for infrastructure resilience (agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/meeti…) with Prof. Dave Rounce. Here's her earlier resilience paper: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
New paper by Teagan Goforth & Dr. Destenie Nock on pathways to decarbonization shows the need for equity assessments to ensure that air gets cleaner for overburdened and vulnerable communities. Decarbonization is an equity issue.
