About SRS-GULF
Mission
To support the sustainability and growth of the Gulf Coast Region by building a consolidated decision-making pathway for sea level rise (SLR) adaptation strategy, enabling urban and rural communities to collaboratively sustain the linkages that connect them
Summary
New science is needed to understand the drivers of and levers for change in diverse urban-rural systems, with a focus on integrative design, technology innovation, sociotechnical transitions, education, and/or multi-level actors and governance. Comparative, typology, and scalability studies are needed to develop generalizable theories across diverse urban-rural region types. Therefore, the main goal of this project is to bring forth convergent research that aids in developing decision models for adaptation strategies that, if implemented, could help ensure the continuous operation of services, protection of human and environmental health, and economic robustness in times of national emergencies/crises that disrupt the regular flow of people, goods, and services as well as disruptions in physical, technological, and social systems
