Building Long-term Resilience to Extreme Weather and Climate Change in the Hudson River Estuary Watershed
The Climate Resilience Partnership (CRP) is a combination of research, demonstration, and educational outreach projects to address the challenges of flooding, stream and watershed management, and climate change. It is a partnership being led by the New York State Water Resources Institute at Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension, with support from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Estuary Program. This project was initiated in summer 2012.
