ODU Presentations, Lectures, Posters. 3.https://digitalcommons.odu.edu/odurc-presentations/3Building Community Resilience and Developing Adaptive Capabilities to Cope with Sea Level Rise in Hampton Roads and Beyond Hampton Roads, VA, is an urban coastal region with a complex socio-economic structure and with infrastructure assets of national relevance threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. The area is sensitive to both hurricane and northeaster strikes and experiences one of the highest rates of local sea-level (LSL) rise on the East Coast. This large rate of LSL rise causes an increase in frequent flooding, denoted as “nuisance flooding” with growing socio-economic and environmental impacts. Recognizing the scientific and societal challenge for the region, ODU:• Engages with societal stakeholder to create the practice-relevant knowledge needed to adapt to frequent flooding, sea level rise, and climate change;• Established a stakeholder-driven Mitigation and Adaptation Research Institute;• Leads the Hampton Roads Pilot Project aiming at a whole-of-the-government and whole-of-the-community response to the challenges.
