Effect of the sea level rise in the coastal forest: spatial patterns of tree mortality after Hurricane Hugo.

Friday, October 27, 2023
3:00pm - 4:00pm PST
Location: Expo Hall
Marsh transgression process appears to be accelerating on the east coast of the U.S., however, little is known about the mechanisms or rates at which this is occurring. This project is about monitoring the recovery of coastal forests following extreme mortality caused by hurricane by establishing new transects.

Learning Objectives:

  • Articulate the impacts, current research scenario, gaps, and priority areas for future investigations into the impacts of sea level rise on coastal forests.
  • Develop links and connections with the forestry professionals and academicians from different organizations and universities.
  • Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of existing research on the impact of sea-level rise on coastal forests.
  • Demonstrate effective poster presentation skills in conveying research findings,
