Britt Raubenheimer, PhDSenior Scientist, Applied Ocean Physics and EngineeringWoods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionPrincipal Investigator, Nearshore Extreme Event Reconnaissance team, NEER  Episode 2 NEER: Nearshore breakwaters and unintended consequences Coastal scientist Britt Raubenheimer describes NEER’s data reconnaissance missions before, during, and after Hurricane Laura, which struck southwestern Louisiana in 2020. NEER data revealed that breakwater structures could slow storm-surge inundation – but then they would also retain floodwaters passing through it, significantly slowing recovery of the shoreland marsh. NEER website: https://neerassociation.org/ NHERI extreme events organizations: https://www.designsafe-ci.org/facilities/converge/Follow Britt Raubenheimer on Twitter: @BrittRaubenhei1Twitter: @NHERI_EER Questions about NHERI or NHERI extreme events research?
