Discuss Your SIDS ProjectSmall Islands, Enormous Stakes
For Small Island Developing States, the coastline is not just an economic asset — it is the nation itself. Sea-level rise, increased storm intensity, and coastal erosion represent existential threats that demand the highest caliber of scientific response.
Dr. Hapke has worked across the Caribbean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean, developing deep familiarity with the unique geomorphological conditions, socioeconomic constraints, and governance structures of island nations.
Her international consultancy bridges the gap between global climate science and local decision-making — providing governments and their development partners with the evidence base needed to protect vulnerable coastlines.
