Peligros Costeros de Puerto Rico (AD)
Detailed Description
La isla de Puerto Rico está sujeta a numerosos peligros naturales, incluyendo huracanes y erosión costera. La información sobre cómo responden los entornos costeros de la isla a estos eventos es fundamental para reforzar la resiliencia costera. La Dra. Legna Torres-García, nacida en Puerto Rico, está liderando un esfuerzo para estudiar los peligros costeros y hacer que esta información sea más accesible para las comunidades de la isla. Esta información puede ayudar a los residentes del territorio a estar más preparados y resilientes a los peligros naturales.
