He uses seaports as a case study, focusing on creating and testing tools that help decision makers engage with complex problems involving uncertainty, consequences of natural hazards and large-scale shifts in climate, and the resulting challenges in policy and planning. He is co-editor of Climate Change Adaptation Planning for Ports and has over 20 peer-reviewed publications. In 2017, Dr. Becker was awarded the prestigious Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship in Ocean Sciences. He earned a PhD in Environment and Resources at Stanford University. He also maintains his 500-Ton U.S. Coast Guard captain\u2019s license for ocean-going vessels.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Research<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/research\/designing-port-infrastructure-for-sea-level-change-a-survey-of-u-s-engineers\/\">Designing Port Infrastructure for Sea Level Change: A Survey of U.S. Engineers<\/a> <span class=\"excerpt-dash\">-<\/span> <span class=\"excerpt\">This research gauges the U.S. port and marine infrastructure engineering community\u2019s attitude and approach to planning for sea level change for maritime infrastructure projects.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n<hr>\n","protected":false},"author":1962,"featured_media":1516,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"peoplegroups":[9],"class_list":["post-1513","people","type-people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","peoplegroups-experts"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/1513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1962"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/1513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1525,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/1513\/revisions\/1525"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"peoplegroups","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/offshore-renewable-energy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/peoplegroups?post=1513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
