This tool provides GIS map layers to illustrate the growth and survivability of corals under several future climate scenarios for reefs in Guam and American Samoa.
An inspiring video of a PI-CASC-funded Hawai’i Island was highlighted for a global audience, sharing the effectiveness of knowledge co-production to tackling climate change adaptation challenges.
Our December “Slice of PI-CASC” seminar will be presented by Dr. Phil Thompson, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Oceanography and Director of the UH Sea Level Center, at UH Mānoa.

Six students completed projects in climate adaptation science for the 2021 SURF program, investigating stream flow quality and variability, coastal erosion, fish thermal tolerance, fishpond phytoplankton distribution, and reef microplastics.
PI-CASC researcher Phil Thompson is in the news with a new study that suggests coastal flooding hazards may increase in the 2030’s as sea-level rise combines with a wobble in the moon’s orbit.
