This summer, Nate is supporting climate resilience and community engagement efforts with the San Mateo County Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency District (also known as OneShoreline). He works on policy analysis and public engagement for the Millbrae and Burlingame Shoreline Resilience Project. His work includes assisting in communicating complex alternatives information to the general public, development of outreach materials, participation in community workshops, and using ArcGIS to convey the project context and preferred alternative.

He is also involved in developing grant proposals to fund multi-jurisdictional sea-level rise (SLR) adaptation plans for five cities on San Mateo County’s Bay side. He conducts research into the Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s (BCDC) Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan and explores multi-jurisdictional sea level rise adaptation planning. Through his work, Nate helps advance regional collaboration on SLR adaptation, climate preparedness, and equity in the San Francisco Bay Area.
