By: Justin Lindemann
North Carolina’s Water Resources Research Institute will host its 24th WRRI Annual Conference on March 23 and 24. The conference will be held in a hybrid format this year, allowing attendees to join either in person at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, or virtually via the Zoom platform. Registration for the 2022 Annual Conference is currently open.
The WRRI Annual Conference brings together scientists, students, consultants, nonprofits and state representatives with the common goal of sharing and distributing the latest water research and providing networking space for professionals to connect and learn from each other.
The keynote speaker for this year’s Annual Conference is Michelle Covi, the Department of Defense liaison with the University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant. Covi brings a regional perspective on water resources from her work across the southeast in Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina. She has expertise in coastal community resilience, sea level rise risk communication, and research and outreach related to coastal hazards.
