Israt J. Tama’s research uses mapping technology and green infrastructure to study how different communities experience and recover from flooding.

“Coming to CC&E felt like finding a place where I belonged. The research connects directly to the flooding and climate challenges my home country of Bangladesh faces, allowing me to study solutions that can make a difference in both Louisiana and back home. The supportive faculty, collaborative environment, and opportunities to share my research have helped me grow with confidence. As an international student, I never felt alone.”
