What is the ICNet? Networks 75 academics, students, and practitioners who
are dedicated to accelerating climate science and engineering research in the Northeastern United States.
Focuses on climate change and sea level rise impacts
research and adaptation for sustainable bridges, roads, and transportation networks.
Supported by the National Science Foundation starting in
October 2012.
