The Water Institute

Our transdisciplinary team of geologists, ecologists, engineers, data scientists, modelers, geographers, anthropologists, planners, and attorneys work to develop solutions that provide economic, environmental, and social benefits, rigorously quantify the outcomes, and adaptively manage to promote understanding and improve subsequent decision making. 

The Water Institute is an independent, non-profit, applied research institution advancing science and developing integrated methods to solve complex environmental and societal challenges.

The Water Institute methodology employs applied science to assist communities to make informed decisions by evaluating science, research, and community priorities.

The Gulf Center for Equitable Climate Resilience (Center) works with partners, stakeholders, and local communities to enhance and expand climate resilience equitably among individuals and communities in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

The work helps communities move beyond assessment and study of risk towards an exploration of strategies that can be implemented across individual, neighborhood, municipal, state, and federal levels.
