What we're doing this summer
Over the summer semester, students from CRC institutions will work in a visiting capacity at other CRC partners for an opportunity to collaborate on ongoing Center projects.
The CRC SUMREX (SUMmer Research EXperience) Program is the centerpiece of the Center’s integration of research and education projects. The purpose of the SUMREX Program is to provide meaningful summer research experiences with Research partners for students from Education and Workforce Development (E&WD) partners, foster collaboration and integration, and to encourage student/professor relationships that could lead to graduate studies at CRC Research partners. You can read more about this project on our website.
Also this summer, faculty from Minority-Serving Institutions are visiting research partners to contribute to CRC projects. Learn about our visiting faculty program here.

In this edition, we focus on three CRC projects based at the University of Rhode Island – two under the theme of “Building Resilient Communities” and one under the theme of “Disaster Dynamics.”
Dr. James Prochaska (top left) studies how to communicate risk to diverse populations to encourage improved readiness for disasters. Dr. James Opaluch (left) focuses on the intertwined issue of barriers to communities adapting to coastal storm hazards. Dr. Isaac Ginis (bottom left) models the impacts of landfalling hurricanes on coastal infrastructure and communities, exacerbated by climate change.
