States around the country are increasingly taking the lead on flooding and resilience. In light of the recent activity, innovation, and demand for guidance in this topic area, the Virginia Coastal Policy Center (VCPC) at William & Mary Law School has joined the newly launched State Resilience Partnership.
This partnership brings together a network of 15 organizations convened by the American Flood Coalition and The Pew Charitable Trusts united by a commitment to support state leaders as they craft resilience strategies. These organizations representing environmental groups, academic and research organizations, businesses, local leaders, and more will work to fill knowledge gaps and support state leaders as they answer key questions about state resilience.
A National Science Foundation grant to The Water Institute of the Gulf and the University of New Orleans will support more than 50 U.S. and European graduate students for their attendance at a two-week intensive modeling and water management training in the Netherlands.
The National Science Foundation awarded $399,718 to a partnership between University of New Orleans and the Water Institute to lead 13 U.S. graduate students each year over three years in an intensive modeling, fieldwork and flume laboratory water management training. Up to 14 European graduate students will also be selected for the program each year to encourage and deepen international conversations around water management. Other partners in the program include Deltares, Delft University of Technology and Utrecht University.
