| Dr. Talea Mayo models how climate change may affect our coasts | |
|---|---|
 | Published Date: 2020-11-02 Talea Mayo joined the Emory faculty in May of 2020 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics. A computational mathematician, she specializes in developing numerical hydrodynamic models to help predict coastal hazards. By creating models for storm surge caused by hurricanes, for instance, she is able to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on coastal flood risks. The resulting data may help policymakers and others develop better plans for the safety and resilience of coastal communities. Among Mayo’s accolades are an Early-Career Research Fellowship from the National Academies of Sciences Gulf Research Program and the Early Career Faculty Innovator Award from the National Center for Atmospheric Research. - Written By Carol Clark Read the full article: https://news.emory.edu/stories/2020/11/esc_climate_change_mayo/campus.html |
