Tsunami Research Continues to inform HILT’s Coastal Resilience Efforts
Science, framed within cultural perspective and understanding, guides all of Hawaii Land Trust's ecological restoration activities. In many cases, we have to conduct our own research to determine the best path forward, especially when addressing the affects of climate change. Dr. Scott Fisher, HILT's Director of ʻĀina Stewardship, recently published two research papers which explores the history and prehistory of tsunamis in the Hawaiian archipelago, while proposing methods to narrow the gaps in our current understanding of their impacts.
