The National Science Foundation has awarded Dr. James Patterson and his interdisciplinary team a $5 million grant to conduct groundbreaking research on climate change adaptation in vulnerable coastal regions.

The five-year project will:

• Develop advanced climate models for coastal areas
• Study ecosystem responses to sea-level rise
• Create evidence-based policy recommendations
• Engage with local communities on adaptation strategies

This grant reinforces our position as a leader in environmental research and our commitment to addressing global challenges.
