*Description:*

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.



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!
