Florida Climate Institute Sends Eighteen Students to Nantucket for Sea Level Rise Challenge
Carolyn Cox, Coordinator of the FCI, used her model for experiential courses in Florida to help design a 5-university challenge around sea level rise impacts to the island of Nantucket. Through the UF Preservation Institute Nantucket program partnership, the FCI was able to provide this opportunity for 18 students (14 from UF and 4 from U Miami) from Florida to travel to Nantucket to present their work to the community and partner universities. This collaborative model also enabled all teams to learn from each other’s approach, innovations, and areas of strength. FCI plans to use this multi-institutional model in additional Florida cities.

FCI at UF Launches Student Climate Fellows Program
Lacey Lingelbach, the first Florida Student Climate Fellow at FCI, has been completing her Rural Florida Climate Connections Project since April. This project essentially shares her research on barriers to climate action in rural inland Florida and solutions for it with various stakeholders. Through her Climate Roadshow, she has been speaking about local climate projections and solutions to rural Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, and Chambers of Commerce in North Florida. She also plans to write opinion editorials on these trends and actions for local newspapers in these rural communities,

June 18 | "Flood Hazard + Housing Practitioner Information Network" for Florida Coastal Communities
Join us for a workshop to be held Friday, June 18th 10 am-12:00 pm via Zoom where we will explore needs for a flood hazard management and practitioner information network for Florida coastal communities.
UF/IFAS Extension, UF Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, and other researchers in the UF College of Design, Construction and Planning are excited to present a second workshop through our National Science Foundation (NSF) Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) planning grant. The goal of the workshop is to convene a range of interdisciplinary professionals to discuss, brainstorm, and strategize the needs for a “Flood Hazard and Housing” community of practice.
