Her work has focused on building resilience in ways that advance economic prosperi ty\, strengthen housing options and celebrate cultural and natural heritag e. \n\nMartin holds a doctorate in city and regional planning from the Uni versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where her dissertation examined post-disaster home buyouts in North Carolina from the perspectives of res ilience\, recovery and racial justice. \n\nPresenters: \n\nElizabeth Frank enberg \nDirector\, UNC Carolina Population Center\nElizabeth Frankenberg ’s work focuses on how individuals and families respond to unexpected c hanges and how government programs and policies can help them adapt. Much of her research is about Indonesia before and after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. She draws on household and community survey data that she\, along with colleagues\, has collected over the past 15 years\, in combination w ith high-resolution satellite imagery\, to investigate how the disaster an d subsequent recovery affect health and well-being at the population level . \n\nMiyuki Hino \nAssistant Professor\, Department of City and Regional Planning \nAdjunct Assistant Professor\, Department of Environment\, Ecol ogy & Energy \nMiyuki Hino is an environmental social scientist working o n measuring and managing the impacts of climate change. Her research exami nes the linkages between natural hazards\, governance\, and public policy to drive effective and equitable adaptation to climate change. \n\nRick Lu ettich \nAlumni Distinguished Professor \nDirector\, Institute of Marine S ciences \nDirector\, Center for Natural Hazards Resilience \nDr. Luettich is a coastal physical oceanographer whose research deals with modeling and measurement of circulation and transport in coastal waters. He is a co-de veloper of the ADCIRC coastal circulation and storm surge model – widely used for coastal flooding studies by academia\, the private sector and mu ltiple federal agencies. In addition to his work on storm surge and coasta l flooding\, he’s also led studies addressing issues including coastal h ypoxia\, larval transport\, and sediment resuspension. \n\nMike Piehler\nP rofessor\nDirector\, Institute for the Environment \nDr. Piehler is direct or of the UNC Institute for the Environment and studies microorganisms and microbially mediated processes in coastal land-water interfaces (particul arly wetlands) and near-shore waters. His research spans a broad range of microbial systems including microphytobenthic communities\, epiphytic micr oalgae\, benthic bacterial communities\, bacterioplankton\, and phytoplank ton. The land-water interface is an area of intensive biogeochemical cycli ng and trophic interactions involving microorganisms. It is also an area o f extensive human activity\, making the interactions of pollutants and nat ive microbial communities in the land-water interface a significant issue in developed coastal environments. \n\nAnne Smiley\nGraduate Student\, Mar ine Science \nAnne Smiley’s research is focused on estuarine nutrient d ynamics. She uses a combination of geographic information systems (GIS) an d analytical chemistry techniques to assess anthropogenic impacts on distr ibutions of nutrient sources and sinks. She also aims to understand the ef fects of chronic and acute disturbances on nutrient regulation processes. Her work on the DEEPP Hub project centers around natural systems. In parti cular\, she explores urbanization impacts on habitat distributions\, bioge ochemical processes\, and overall provisions of ecosystem services.\n\nNat alie Johnson \nUndergraduate Student\, Political Science and Economics \n Intern\, DEEPP Hub\nNatalie Johnson is an undergraduate student and Caroli na Covenant Scholar double majoring in political science and economics and minoring in public policy. As a research assistant on the DEEPP Hub proje ct\, she completes household surveys with residents living in Eastern Nort h Carolina to better understand how extreme events like hurricanes impact populations and health outcomes. Additionally\, she helps manage social me dia content and communications with the public.
