The University of Plymouth and the College of the Coast & Environment at Louisiana State University (LSU) have formed a partnership that aims to conduct pioneering research into the causes and effects of global climate change.
Uniting world-leading experts in marine, coastal and environmental sciences, the universities are exploring initiatives linked to sea level rise and the impact it could have on coastal ecosystems, infrastructure and industry.
Also bringing together experts in social sciences and healthcare, they are also looking into the effects of sea level rise - and climate change more broadly - on people, the cities and towns they live in, and on public health and wellbeing.
Over the course of many years, researchers from the two universities have seen first-hand some of the global effects of climate change, and also explored how to slow its advance.
For Plymouth, this has included studies exploring rises in the number and severity of extreme storms, the impact of climate change on fish populations and fishing communities, the resilience of island nations to sea level rise and coastal flooding, and the development of offshore renewable energy and other net zero initiatives.
