More than 25 presentations from last month’s Superstorm Sandy: Five Years Later conference are now available online. The conference hosted by the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute (MERI) brought  together  a  community  of scholars,  researchers,  urban planners  and  policy-makers  to  present  findings over the past five years about the environmental,  social  and design challenges facing East Coast estuaries and bays under more frequent extreme weather events.

Speakers included representatives of  MERI, the US Geological Survey, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Rutgers University, Stevens Institute of Technology and Columbia University.
