Research Week - Using Economic Methods to Guide Coastal Climate Change Adaptation

Join Sahan Dissanayake, a faculty member in Economics and faculty director for the Institute for Sustainable Solutions, to learn how economic methods used to elicit public preferences and to target restoration on a landscape can guide coastal climate adaptation. Methods are illustrated using a marsh migration example from New England and a coastal flood adaptation example from Oregon.

This talk is part of an interdiscplinary seminar series on Environment, Climate, and Society, hosted by Anthropology, Complex Systems, Environmental Science and Management, Geography and Geology — who are forming a new school. Seminars will be held every even week of the term on Fridays from 2 to 3 p.m. in Cramer Hall 287.

This event is part of PSU's annual Research Week, which honors and elevates the exceptional research, scholarship, and creative work of PSU faculty, staff, and students. Explore more 2024 Research Week events!
