Meet Our Student Team – Erosion Watch at Providence College

We are a team of college students with a shared mission – to address the critical issue of coastal erosion in Rhode Island. Our project involves designing and installing automatic cameras along the coastline to monitor erosion trends continuously. Committed to environmental conservation, our goal is to better understand coastal erosion to aid the coastal communities that are affected.
