Selected Recent and Ongoing Research Projects

Drs. Carbone and Dow
Drs. Carbone, Dow, and Tufford (Biological Sciences) collaborate on the “Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments” (CISA)  which integrates climate science into decision-making by developing information, tools, and processes to support water and coastal management and planning processes. Funding is provided by the NOAA Climate Programs Office.
More detail on CISA and several related projects is available at: : http://www.cisa.sc.edu/ .

Dr. Hiscox
