   abstract: "Legna Torres Garc\xEDa's work focuses on using multi-scale observational\
     \ and numerical model data to understand circulation, waves, sediment transport,\
     \ and coastal vulnerability. Her research includes simulations of hydrodynamics\
     \ and coastal change in Puerto Rico and the Florida Keys. In addition, she is\
     \ a principal investigator on a project on assessing the coastal vulnerability\
     \ of communities in Puerto Rico through a focused stakeholder engagement approach.\
     \ Her focus on both numerical model development and stakeholder engagement enables\
     \ her to address community needs with the best available science."
