Upcoming Conference Presentation
I will be presenting at PAA on a segment of my dissertation focused on vulnerability replacement dynamics through migration in the aftermath of major hurricanes in eastern North Carolina, with implications for barriers to planning for resilient de-growth. Specifically, I will focus on the development and validation of an address-to-address database derived from data purchased from the credit agency, TransUnion.
The specific data is TBD, but it will be in session 1101-Climate Change and Migration, April 12-15.
