Congratulations to Hub members Dr. Kendall Valentine and Dr. Jamie Donatuto who are the recipients of the 2023 Ocean Decade Champions awards! 

Each project engages coastal communities and provides resources to help strengthen the current hazard mitigation infrastructure.

The Cascadia CoPes Hub organized a science communication workshop held on July 21, 2023, centered around the topics of risk, uncertainty, and science communication in relation to natural hazards.

Along the West coast, Wigi (or Humboldt Bay) “is a part of the ancestral and present day territory of the Wiyot people [and] is experiencing the fastest rate of relative sea level rise” with a projected rise of 3 feet by 2060.

The Cascadia CoPes Hub hosted a virtual workshop to connect our researchers with state and federal agency partners to discuss plans for new geohazards research planned by the Hub and agency partners.

The Cascadia CoPes Hub has recently awarded 5, one-year pilot research projects. These pilot projects are engaging communities and supporting emergent research activities to support information needs identified by tribes and other coastal communities. Each project has been funded for 1 year.
