Opportunities in Bloom- September 2026
CNRS wants to Proudly Congratulate
Amanda Admire & Lori Dengler
Lori Dengler, Professor Emerita of Geology and co-founder of the Redwood Coast Tsunami Work Group (RCTWG) has remained dedicated in her service in mitigating earthquake and tsunami hazards along the North Coast for 30 years. Through inclusive education and technical support, the RCTWG has provided invaluable guidance to help several communities become TsunamiReady®. A landmark achievement, serving as the result of diligent risk-reduction efforts in Manila, California, in Humboldt County, becoming the first community to earn TsunamiReady® Tier II status in the state.
Now representing Cal Poly Humboldt is Amanda Admire of the Geology and Oceanography departments, who has been passed the torch and now continues facilitating the safety and protection of millions of residents and visitors in California's coastal communities.
Congratulations to Amanda, Lori, and RCTWG for their outstanding commitment to science, service, and community preparedness!
Take a look for yourself and see Their Works!
