Prof. Becker was recently asked to join the Infrastructure and Climate Network (ICNet). He participated in a 2-day workshop at the University of New Hampshire with regional practitioners and researchers on Dept. of Transportation initiatives and emerging research on infrastructure and climate. Uncertainty, knowledge gaps and communication strategies were a few of the topics addressed. The ICNet is a network of over 50 academics, students, and practitioners who are dedicated to accelerating climate science and engineering research in the Northeastern United States. ICNet focuses on climate change and sea level rise impacts and adaptation for sustainable bridges, roads, and transportation networks.  The group established in October 2012 with support from the National Science Foundation.
