DESCRIPTION:Equitable climate resilience - science and solutions for a warm
 ing world\n\nClimate change poses an acute and accelerating threat to low-
 income\, historically marginalized communities across the nation. This is 
 particularly true in the Southeast\, where extreme heat and increased coas
 tal flooding intersect with high rates of energy poverty and substandard i
 nfrastructure to create widespread vulnerability to ongoing climate change
 . The path towards long-term resilience in many underserved communities mu
 st incorporate tools and approaches from the physical and social sciences 
 as well as engineering and urban planning. By grounding such interdiscipli
 nary research collaborations in community-based partnerships\, community m
 embers and organizations can serve as irreplaceable sources of local knowl
 edge and expertise\, and guide the co-development of equitable climate res
 ilience strategies. In this talk\, I review two different transdisciplinar
 y research projects:  one focused on urban heat islands in Atlanta\, and a
 nother focused on sea level rise in Savannah\, Georgia. Both projects invo
 lve distributed data streams of hyperlocal environmental data that inform 
 the science of local climate risk\, as well as community science and K-12 
 education\, all in deep partnership with a multi-sector network of communi
 ty partners.\n\n \n\nAbout this Series:\n\nThe Department Lecture Series a
 t EAPS at MIT is a series of Weekly talks given by leading thinkers in the
  areas of geology\, geophysics\, geobiology\, geochemistry\, atmospheric s
 cience\, oceanography\, climatology\, and planetary science. For more info
