Join colleagues to discuss the on-the-ground and on-the-water challenges of sea level rise for military operations and installations. An interdisciplinary panel of expert practitioners will share information and perspectives on global sea level rise, how it impacts Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island and Naval Station Norfolk, and how we can use data and modeling to navigate in today’s and tomorrow’s rising seas.

Panelists include:

• John Englander, Rising Seas Institute
• Tracey Spencer, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island
• Steve Jones, Naval Station Norfolk
• Rachael Dempsey, NOAA’s National Ocean Service

Moderated by Stuart Gold, Rising Seas Institute

Co-hosted by the Climate & Security Network and Naval Warfare Studies Institute

Join us for the 21st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium, to be held May 8-9, 2024. 

The Acquisition Research Symposium is a research-focused forum that connects scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. Attendees come from around the world; about half are Naval Postgraduate School faculty and graduate students engaged in acquisition-related research. Senior acquisition officials from the Departments of Defense and the U.S. Navy serve as keynote speakers and panel chairs, presenting their critiques and comments on research papers and priorities.

This year our symposium takes up the theme of “Resourcing Innovation.”  We have a robust collection of panels that consider challenges and successes in providing the right resources – to include not just funding, but also people, training, acquisition authorities, time, supply chains, etc. – that can generate, transition, and deliver new warfighting capabilities and strategies. 

Co-hosted by the Naval Warfare Studies Institute and Acquisition Research Program at Naval Postgraduate School.
