 strong></p>\n<p>Dr. Clark's research focuses on the physical and socioecon
 omic drivers of repetitive flood insurance claims in South Florida\, with 
 particular emphasis on flood vulnerability and the impacts of climate chan
 ge&ndash\;induced sea level rise. Her work integrates predictive LiDAR mod
 eling and hurricane simulations to identify future flooding "hotspots" pro
 jected for 2050 and 2100\, providing valuable insights to support regional
  climate adaptation and urban planning.</p>\n<p>Her latest project explore

 he broader community better understand the human impacts on Florida's natu
 ral systems.</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">...</p>\n<p><strong>Abou
