海角社区 Geography and Anthropology professor Dr. Huanping Huang is a grant recipient of
the 海角社区 Provost鈥檚 Fund for Innovation in Research.
In January 2023, 海角社区 announced its largest investment in seed funding for faculty research in university history. The Provost鈥檚 Fund for Innovation in Research, managed through the Office of Research & Economic Development, awarded $1.1 million to 33 projects in support of strategic priorities for the university and for Louisiana as well as 海角社区鈥檚 Scholarship First Agenda. The strength of the Scholarship First Agenda lies not only in how 海角社区 can drive research and innovation in agriculture, biomedicine, coast, defense and energy, but combine these areas in interesting ways to solve pressing problems around the globe.
Dr. Huang's research focused on characterizing how the wind speed decays of land falling hurricanes have evolved over time to help with disaster preparedness and planning.
