CES Launches Science Podcast Home and High Water

We are excited to share the official release of FAU’s Home and High Water, a podcast by the Center for Environmental Studies, about our research uncovering how we live, adapt, and thrive in a changing climate.

As researchers, our job is to witness and study the impacts of human development and a changing climate. What are the stories behind the research?

Today, we launch with a two-part series diving into the science of community climate resilience research in one South Florida neighborhood, the Estates of Fort Lauderdale.

In a rapidly changing climate, being able to map and quantify the vulnerability and resilience of a community is critical because it is often the first picture decision-makers have of an area, shaping vital policy decisions from hazard preparation to response.

In Part 1 of the podcast series, we learn about the resilience assessments that provide a crucial foundation to our understanding of community vulnerability and resilience.

In Part 2 of the podcast series, we focus on what our research team discovered about the local landscape when they began to collect information about community resilience at the neighborhood scale.
