Name: Sumi Selvaraj

About: I am a NOAA Coastal Management Fellow at the California Coastal Commission assisting the Commission on the development of tools to implement its sea level rise and climate adaptation guidance. Additionally, I am assisting the Commission in its environmental justice policy development and outreach. I recently completed my MS degree in the Department of Geography at University of South Carolina, where I was a research assistant for the Carolinas Integrated Sciences and Assessments (CISA - a NOAA RISA team) and assisted with a citizen science drought monitoring project, worked with the sea level rise task force in Beaufort and Port Royal, SC, and conducted research on individual public transit rider vulnerability to nuisance flooding. I have also worked on previous adaptation, risk reduction, and preparedness projects as an intern with The Nature Conservancy, AmeriCorps member for American Red Cross and Barnstable County, MA, and REU participant at the University of South Florida.
