One of our team members, Melina Matos, presented a virtual poster on our research at this year's Natural Hazards Workshop. Poster available here.

PIs Meerow and Woodruff's JAPA article on climate change planning was featured in the July 2020 issue of Planning Magazine:

In March 2020, our team, led by Melina Matos, won an award from the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the American Collegiate Schools of Planning to create an educational case study based on our research: https://www.acsp.org/page/LincolnCaseWinners

In January 2020 we concluded the primary data collection phase of our project, having completed our analyses of city plans and surveys of organizations involved in planning in all four cities.

In December 2019, PIs Meerow and Woodruff published an article in the Journal of the American Planning Association outlining seven principles of strong climate change planning. Read the full article here: https://doi.org/10.1080/01944363.2019.1652108

We found out we were funded in August 2018 and we officially launched the project in September. We're currently refining our research methods, training the graduate students who will be working on the project, and doing background research on our case study cities.
