Climate Resilience and Hurricanes
In 2022, the University of Miami (UM) launched a Climate Resilience Academy, a functional unit that supports interdisciplinary problem-driven research and education to train the next generation and deliver solutions to climate change impacts and environmental stressors, in partnership with industry, government, universities, and other stakeholders. Dr. Majumdar will introduce the broad topic of climate resilience, together with a rich variety of collaborative projects across UM that are aimed at tackling these difficult issues. Also, he will present an exciting and innovative new undergraduate course on Resilience, together with further educational goals to be supported by the Academy. Finally, Dr. Majumdar will discuss some resilience and forecasting challenges in the context of storm surge, extreme wind, and flooding rain impacts from hurricanes such as Ian (2022).
