Rising Voices, Changing Coasts, the National Indigenous and Earth Sciences Convergence Hub: Project Evaluation

The Rising Voices, Changing Coasts (RVCC) Hub is a coastal research project that brings together university-trained scientists and Indigenous knowledge-holders to study the interactions between natural, human-built, and social systems in coastal populated environments. RVCC is working to improve our understanding of how climate change will impact four diverse coastal regions, and to provide local communities with the information they need to take action and protect their lifeways. This project is the KU part of the evaluation; the evaluation team is led by Dr. Eric Welch at Arizona State University.
