Thesis Highlights
NASEM Gulf Research Studio: Exploring Regional Climate Futures
The Gulf Coast Research Studio is organized as a road map to produce a Climate Adaptation Plan for the region (from Houston to Mobile) able to catalyze funds for implementation. In this second year of the research studio, students will continue to explore critical issues in the three areas of focus defined by the Gulf Research Program namely: Future of Offshore Energy, Future of Changing Gulf Coast Lines, and Future of Healthy and Resilient Communities. The aim of these first two years of study is to work collectively to generate innovative future scenarios and associated design projects that may help advise the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine investments in long-term transformation of the region that will utilize design to move away from ‘extractivism’ and its pernicious effects on people and ecology.
