Contributed as a WHOI/NASA Summer School in Sea Level Science Fellow to interdisciplinary learning and research activities focused on sea-level variability, sea-level rise, glacier and ice-sheet contributions to sea-level change, vertical land motion, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and associated coastal impacts. I engaged in technical discussions, hands-on scientific training, data analysis, and collaborative activities integrating observations from SWOT, GRACE, and ICESat-2 with ocean and ice-sheet modeling and coastal-risk applications to support improved understanding of sea-level change and coastal decision-making. 

Contributed as a selected CUAHSI/NOAA Summer Institute Fellow to interdisciplinary research and training activities supported by CUAHSI, CIROH, NOAA, and The University of Alabama. I contributed to two collaborative projects, serving as team leader for one deep learning project and co-leader for another, while engaging in technical discussions, hands-on data analysis, applied modeling, and NOAA-relevant water prediction and coastal-risk research. These activities emphasized the integration of geospatial data, hydrologic and coastal information, and computational tools to improve flood-risk understanding and support community-scale water-resilience decision-making. 

My colleague, Michael Lewis, and I contributed to SciREN Alabama (Scientific Research and Education Network), a science communication and education outreach program that connects researchers with K–12 educators. Through this event, we shared our research on compound flooding and presented our plan to translate complex coastal flood-risk research into classroom-ready educational modules. We also presented the first version of our game-based learning activity, designed to help students explore compound flooding, coastal hazards, adaptation decisions, and community resilience through an interactive classroom experience.
