Center for Coastal Climate Resilience
The Center for Coastal Climate Resilience at UC Santa Cruz is leveraging its deep expertise in research and policy and practice to help communities adapt to climate change.
The outcomes from our research will assist underserved and underrepresented populations in planning for and preventing future climate disasters and will help inform state and federal policy on coastal resiliency.
MasterScience Class with Michael Beck
Michael Beck, director of the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience and principal investigator for the Coastal Resilience Lab, led a master class on how nature-based solutions, like reefs and wetlands, can protect coastal communities from climate change. The class was created as part of CCCR’s partnership with the AXA Research Fund.
