Isabel Proceedings

Hurricane Isabel in Perspective: Proceedings of a Conference

This comprehensive overview of the critical papers and discussion of the November, 2004 conference is now available. It contains 30 peer-reviewed manuscripts and session/panel summaries addressing the forecasts, impacts, and responses to Hurricane Isabel as it impacted the Chesapeake watershed. The volume is available from the CRC (sellnerk@si.edu) and individual chapters will soon be distributed through the website. This volume complements the 1975 CRC volume on Hurricane Agnes and will hopefully provide the same comprehensive overview that the earlier volume has over the past 30 years.
