New Episode of Meet the Scientist Streams January 26

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a scientist? Or are you curious about what research takes place on the ECU Outer Banks Campus? If you answered “YES!” to either of these questions, you should tune in to our monthly, live-streamed video series Meet the Scientist. In each episode, Dean Reide Corbett sits down with ECU and CSI scientists to discuss some of their latest work.

In the tenth installment of this series, Dean Corbett will sit down with Dr. Sid Narayan, Assistant Professor in the ECU Department of Coastal Studies and Assistant Scientist at the Coastal Studies Institute.

A civil and coastal engineer by training, Narayan investigates coastal hazards and sustainable adaptation solutions, with an emphasis on making science relevant and applicable to policy and decision-makers. His research focuses on understanding and identifying where and how coastal ecosystems like wetlands and reefs can be restored and managed to reduce risks to people at the coastline. Learn more about Dr. Narayan and his work with nature-based infrastructure during this episode of “Meet the Scientist”.
