A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect this evening for situations just like this one unfolding in Carolina Beach. High tides associated with this month's full moon will occur for the next few nights #ncwx #scwx Images courtesy of UNC sunnydayflood.apps.cloudapps.unc.edu

Who knew duckweed can have a significant effect on ponds producing methane and carbon dioxide? Excited to announce our new publication doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.… in Front. Environ. Sci. James B Cotner

Flooding isn’t just a coastal problem. VA’s participation in #RGGI funds Community Flood Preparedness grants for inland and mountainous communities across VA. Explore Virginia Conservation Network’s map to see where nearly $46M in funding is already at work in rural areas. bit.ly/3IdRuay

The Neuse is the American Rivers river of the year! Great event yesterday celebrated this recognition and highlighted continued progress. Read more here: americanrivers.org/2022-river-of-…

Thomas (Thomas Thelen) did an awesome job presenting his work with the Sunny Day Flooding Project project - sensors + modeling + community engagement! #NAF2022

“Saltwater is moving up the Mississippi River. Here's what's being done to stop it” by NPR x.com/i/events/15857…

Excited for the #NCCoastConf - always great to have the #PiehlerPosse in the house!

As coastal communities continue to bear the brunt of climate change, proactive solutions are crucial to increase resilience. Nature-based solutions offer protection, sustainability, and modified ecosystems as solutions to these challenges. Learn more: bit.ly/3NPUGwT

The Old Dominion University Institute for Coastal Adaptation and Resilience is hiring! In partnership with Chesapeake Bay Foundation we need FOUR research faculty ready to help Virginia's communities make real resilience progress. Learn more and apply: jobs.odu.edu/postings/17684

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! To celebrate, learn more about coastal urban wetlands and how to give them a boost by reading my new blog post on EDF Growing Returns blogs.edf.org/growingreturns…

New open-access paper! In NC, for every buyout, ~10 new houses have been built in 100-year floodplains. Community flood risk management "effort" (CRS score, buyouts) is not indicative of the amount of FP development taking place. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

For too long, North Carolina buyers have been kept in the dark about flood risks when choosing where their family will call home. Today, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission granted our petition to fix that problem. on.nrdc.org/3E6apnx via @nrdc

I am super excited for our paper led by former MSPH student Hope Thomson to come out in Earth's Future in which we quantified residential flood losses after #florence and their potential cascading financial risks agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Excited to see this paper from my postdoc at UNC Institute for the Environment out in AGU (American Geophysical Union)'s WRR! Really enjoyed learning some new skills and working with this great Sunny Day Flooding Project team. Soon to be open-access, but let me know if you need a copy in the meantime

"Wetlands provide many co-benefits that help us in many different ways, from flood mitigation to ecological enhancements, that we're really only learning how to maximize and enhance."-EDF’s Adam Gold discusses preserving and restoring natural infrastructure. bit.ly/3UD2iWD

New pub from the Sunny Day Flooding Project team! Our new sensors detected water on the road 24x in 5 months in coastal NC - flooding is happening more often than common proxies (e.g., NOAA HTF counts) suggest b/c we capture the impacts of rain (1/4 of our events were rain + tide).

🚨 job alert! Are you a #hydrologist #engineer or #climatescientist? I’m hiring a post-doc to work on a project examining future rainfall extremes and inland flooding in the #Carolinas together with Kathie Dello and J Bowden starting Jan 2024. unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/261760
