Resilience Implementation for Salt-INtruded Geographies (RISING) Mid-Atlantic

The goal of Resilience Implementation for Salt-INtruded Geographies (RISING) Mid-Atlantic is to significantly improve the resilience and well-being of rural coastal communities in Maryland (MD), Delaware (DE) and New Jersey (NJ) who are impacted by saltwater intrusion (SWI) and sea-level rise (SLR). We will achieve this by developing and implementing coordinated, community-engaged solutions for two important coastal economic sectors: farming and forestry.

Water Security of Paraíba Municipalities: An Integrated Modeling of Climate Variability and Natural and Anthropogenic Dynamics

It assesses water security across basins, municipalities, urban and rural areas, emphasizing public participation for resilience.

Bostwick is a historic, eighteenth-century site located in Bladensburg, Maryland. It consists of a Georgian-style, central passage, main house that was altered in the early twentieth century in a Colonial Revival redo, multiple outbuildings dating from the late eighteenth to early twentieth century and landscaped grounds, including terraces. Christopher Lowndes, a locally prominent, English-born merchant built Bostwick in 1746 using indentured and enslaved workers. The house reflects the wealth and aesthetic tastes of Maryland’s colonial elite.
