We are working within the Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems (IRIS) to understand how to best implement natural and hybrid infrastructure solutions. This work includes several projects including:
Cost:benefit analysis of nature-based alternatives related to large-scale floodplain reconnection and smaller-scale stream restoration efforts.
Research, design and implementation of nature-based shoreline projects at US military installations (Marine Corps Recruit Depot – Parris Island, Marine Corp Blount Island Command, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Naval Station Mayport).
Biodiversity benefits of natural and hybrid infrastructure solutions.
