Conference Theme:
This conference hopes to attract papers, posters, and panel
discussions around the broad theme of coasts under a changing climate – a look
at our coastal communities, coastal ecosystems, and coastal infrastructure with
the climate crisis upon us. Five of the six states in our region have
coastlines as do the Canadian Maritime provinces. Some potential topics:
vulnerability to climate change, future climate-driven coastal hazards,
adaptation strategies, mitigation strategies, research strategies, climate justice,
climate crisis and COVID-19 crisis, municipal climate action and sustainability
planning, and good pedagogy on these issues. Geographers are well-suited to
study and contribute to these efforts that all require spatial thinking and the
spatial analysis tools that geographers regularly employ. Analyses of these
issues in places, regions, or other countries of interest.
NESTVAL also welcomes papers and posters on other topics not related to the
conference theme.
