The Waterfront Working Group is a mobile seminar that meets a few times per year. We organize engaged site visits and field days, often coupled with research workshops for current members. Please feel free to be in touch about attending.
Group members also collaborate on occasional events and projects with the Shifting Shorelines project at Northwestern’s Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs.
