NCSU-Kenan Natural Hazards Mapping Program
The NCSU-Kenan Natural Hazards Mapping Program Lab focuses on research that generates knowledge about coastal processes (including landform change), coastal hazard identification and response strategies to improve the resilience of coastal environment. The laboratory has the hardware and software support to efficiently utilize state of the art GIS-based techniques, geospatial tools and numerical models to better understand, visualize, model and develop solutions to coastal problems. Currently, NCSU-Kenan Natural Hazards Mapping Laboratory has projects focused on the effects of extreme events, sea level rise, beach nourishment, and beach and dune erosion on coastal landforms.
