Vision:• Transformative research: What is future exposure due to triple threat? What is future social,
environmental and economic vulnerability? What factors influence adaptive capacity and better planning?
• Community Engagement: Foster citizen science and test participatory models. • High Impact Service Learning: Create workshops, studios, and capstones.
