Coastal Engineering: Sea Level Rise
What are some causes of sea-level rise? Is it impacting all coastlines? Sea-level rise is a very real flood condition that has caught the attention of many coastal communities around the U.S. This interactive online course will provide information about the potential magnitude of this rising water, the planning required to better resist the effects of this rising water, and why sea level rise can be so damaging to the built environment. A few case studies will be included to illustrate what is being done around the country to combat this serious climate change issue.
