CCHT Hosts ADCIRC Week

The CCHT served as the local hosts for ADCIRC Week (working alongside Jason Fleming from Seahorse Coastal Consulting). This week has two parts: an annual conference of ADCIRC users to discuss the latest advancements and new research directions; and a boot camp to introduce new users to ADCIRC and SMS. It was great to see everyone again, and we learned a lot.

ADCIRC Users Meeting was held in the Hunt Library.
