    Collaborating with communities on coastal resilience research

    James P. Collins, a doctoral student in city and regional planning, spent the summer in the coastal communities east of Beaufort in Carteret County known as “Down East.” He interviewed residents about the chronic coastal flooding that happens outside of major storm events — also known as “sunny day” or high-tide flooding. With local sea-level rise, land subsidence and development increasing in coastal areas, the frequency of flooding along low-lying properties and roadways is also growing.
