In our first episode of Season 5, we sit down with UCF Coastal Director Ivan Haigh to discuss his research, his vision for the center, and how students can get involved with UCF Coastal. We also ask the tough questions, such as Zambia or England, coffee or tea, and whether Ivan would prefer to control the weather or the tides (take a guess!).
