Institute for Coastal Adaptation and Resilience (ICAR)
Executive Director: Jessica Whitehead
ICAR, a national center for the science and practice of coastal resilience at Old Dominion University, leverages ODU faculty’s disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth in leading research, education, and community partnerships to develop practical solutions to challenges faced by coastal communities.
ICAR builds on over eight years of investment and commitment by Old Dominion to leadership in coastal adaptation and resilience. This repository community (formerly ODU Resilience Collaborative) attempts to collect and archive materials from all of ODU's efforts with coastal adaptation and resilience.
