Data Analytics at The Center for the Blue Economy

This talk described how the Center for the Blue Economy used data to conduct translational work in environmental economics. The Center translates geophysical data into economic consequences to guide leaders on how to cope with the ocean and coastal effects of climate change and to promote sustainable development of ocean resources.
