Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples Hazards Research Hub (CoPes)

The Cascadia Coastlines and Peoples Hazards Research Hub, or Cascadia CoPes hub, answers calls by Pacific Northwest coastal communities for a coordinated research agenda to help them achieve resilience.

The Cascadia CoPes Hub was funded by the National Science Foundation to respond to a local, regional, and national needs for improved, coordinated coastal resilience in the face of chronic and acute coastal hazards. The Hub’s long-term goal is to improve coastal communities’ preparedness and their ability to bounce back from hazard events. Some Hub projects are developed with collaboratories. Each Hub team includes community leads and coastal liaisons who help connect coastal community needs and Cascadia CoPes Hub research. They work to ensure that Hub research is co-produced with and for Cascadia coastal communities.
