\n\t\tEconomic expert says patterns in economic values and tradeoffs

\nsometimes contradict common assumptions in management<\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 February 6, 2014 — Dr. Robert Johnston will discuss the economic impacts of climate change to kickoff the first of the Coastal State Discussion series on Tuesday, February 25 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the University Club on the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston campus.<\/p>\n


\nJohnston is a professor of economics and the director for the George Perkins Marsh Institute at Clark University and a 溏心vlog免费B站 alumnus who received his doctorate from the Department of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics. His research focuses on the economic values and tradeoffs of certain coastal management schemes used throughout New England to mitigate climate change impacts from storms, flooding, erosion, and sea level rise. He will explore the challenges of balancing waterfront development with effective protection of coastal ecosystem services and related costs and benefits to management decisions. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cParticular attention is given to the linkages between natural and social sciences necessary to quantify these effects,\u201d he said, explaining that he will draw from examples on waterfront development and watershed restoration in Maine, as well as alternative coastal adaptation strategies, including economic values, and the implications for communities\u2019 adaptation choices as part of an ongoing project in Connecticut.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe results, he says, demonstrate patterns in economic values and tradeoffs that sometimes contradict common assumptions.<\/p>\n


\n\tThis event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited, so please contact Meredith Haas at mmhaas@mail.uri.edu to reserve a place or for more information. The University Club is located on Upper College Road on 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Kingston Campus.<\/p>\n
