SUBJECT: Presentation by Dr. Charles "Chip" Fletcher, Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs and Professor of Earth Sciences, at the School of Ocean and Earth Science
and Technology(SOEST), with the University of Hawai`i.
We respectfully request a total of 1.5 hours for a presentation/question and answer session with
Dr. Charles "Chip" Fletcher, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Earth
Sciences, at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST), with the
University of Hawai`i.
Dr. Fletcher's research focuses on Pacific Paleo-sea level history, beach processes, and modeling
the impacts of the past,present and future sea level rise on island environments. The results of
his work is used by government agencies to administer coastal policy, establish construction
guidelines, and to plan resilient infrastructure. Data produced by his research is used by Kaua`i
and Maui counties in their setback ordinance, and is considered in permit decisions by the City
of Honolulu and the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
PowerPoint material that Dr. Fletcher will use to aid his presentation will be submitted by our
office separately.
Please place this on the appropriate committee meeting agenda for November 19, 2019.
Thank you.
