Flooding and impacts from hurricanes have been dominant features of late near Coastal Carolina University. That being the case, numerous professors and students have devoted time to doing research on the subjects.

Here, we catch up with three different efforts to learn more about flooding and storms, in what is ultimately an attempt to lessen the effects of those events on the region.
