Annika Tomson is the 2022-24 NOAA Digital Coast Fellow working with ASFPM’s Flood Science Center and the Coastal States Organization on the Shifting Property Lines project. The project is creating technical resources for coastal communities that are planning for the management of previously private coastal property that has become public due to challenges with coastal inundation and erosion as a facet of managed retreat. Prior to the fellowship, Annika attended the University of Michigan where they studied environmental policy and planning; her research focused on Great Lakes community coastal resilience and the relationships between local governments and state and federal agencies. Originally from upstate New York, Annika holds a B.A. in Anthropology from Cornell University and a M.S. in Environment and Sustainability from the University of Michigan.
