Normally after a storm, tidal wetlands can recover by themselves. Due to the increased frequency & intensity of hurricanes, they are losing that recovery capacity. So after a hurricane, there is need to provide a proactive management plan to help recover
Plant science researchers and the UConn Fire Department are using prescribed burns to mitigate brush fires and study the role of microbes in soil recovery to generate new insights to help Connecticut manage rising wildfire risk
UConn research gives insights into regional weather differences that complicate grid resilience.
In their most recently published study, research team member Kenneth Lachlan looked closer at several communities in the eastern areas of the state and surveyed residents to learn more about how they received information during weather emergencies.
Characterizing weather extremes from the past to add context to future impacts.
A 40-year satellite study reveals that while disturbances from logging and construction are declining, events like mega-fires and extreme storms are becoming more common.
Junbo Zhao led a study in Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering, which suggests a comprehensive approach to strengthen power grid resilience against the rising threat of wildfires.
In the Arctic, permafrost plays a crucial role in building infrastructure. However, as the region warms and permafrost thaws, infrastructure is threatened as the ground shifts beneath the built environment.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
