Thrusts

CREATE conducts research in four thrusts, which were formed to address the significant challenges of coastal infrastructure durability and to reduce inequities in the transportation system, including transportation careers. At the core of CREATE is our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEI&A) vision that is embedded throughout all Center activities. Under this DEI&A umbrella, we will conduct research in four thrusts.

skyscrapers on a coast — Thrust 1
Transformational coastal infrastructure design and construction ☞

road along a coast — Thrust 2
Coastal transportation infrastructure evaluation, prediction, and prevention ☞

coast guards on duty — Thrust 3
Equitable response to unprecedented hazards ☞

Picture of a dock with cargo during sunset. — Thrust 4
Pathways to blue economy transportation careers ☞
