As part of a larger hub, Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub (MACH), the lab will assist in answering a larger research question: How do households make adaptation decisions in response to perceived risks of sea-level rise? To overcome challenges in the dynamics of natural-human systems drive coastal climate risk, MACH will bring natural scientists, social scientists, civil engineers, and humanists together with coastal stakeholders and decision-makers in the New York City-New Jersey-Philadelphia region to co-produce knowledge that informs climate-resilient development pathways of coastal communities. The larger hub, managed at Rutgers, is focused on researching complex interactions between climate hazards and communities to inform governance of coastal risk.
