I was selected as 1 of 45 students worldwide for Pioneer Academics Global
Problem-Solving Institute.
I co-authored a 20-page research paper on using permeable pavement
to reduce land subsidence with two of my peers, under the guidance of
Professor Nicole Snyder (Davidson College).
Resource at Risk: Water Insecurity
South Florida's coastline faces severe
land subsidence due to groundwater
overconsumption.
Land Subsidence in
South Florida
Overextraction leads to loss
of ground stability and water
insecurity.
Permeable pavement allows water
to flow through the porous material,
and into the soil below.
Regions are sinking up to 8cm
per year due to overextraction
of groundwater.
