<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Extreme events such as hurricanes have significant impacts
on the nearshore water-land system — where ocean, sound, and estuary processes
interact with the nearby land. These events pose high risks to society and
ecosystems; they also represent important opportunities to learn from disaster
as will be described during this brief webinar. This online forum will feature
the leaders of the National Science Foundation-supported Nearshore Extreme
Events Reconnaissance (NEER) Association, which organizes interdisciplinary
teams and supports travel for rapid, pre-event site characterization and
instrument deployments to collect perishable data needed to understand impacts
of major storms on the nearshore system. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">NEER is dedicated, in part, to characterizing interactions
and feedbacks among natural and built environments and corresponding human
actions and reactions. The webinar speakers will describe NEER’s mission, the
benefits of membership, and NEER’s event-response and data-distribution plans.
Please join us if you are interested in learning more or getting involved with
NEER as a member!</p><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=12XbEVKyTmNxWz2zhiLdBZVYuFfNlVaKQ&export=download" width="95" height="96"><br></div><div style="text-align:center"><br></div><div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="cid:ii_kd9dpv0u0" alt="CONVERGE_NHERI_300.png" width="300" height="90"><br></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
