Tropical Storm Irene Research Information Exchange
In an effort to further connect research ideas from the University of Vermont that may inform Tropical Storm Irene Recovery efforts — and help Vermont respond to future flood events — UVM held an informal research networking event on October 25, 2011 to create new collaborations and exchange information.
