Multi-Agency Kickoff Workshop – Engineering With Nature® To Enhance Urban Marsh Resilience, Biodiversity, And Habitat
Natural infrastructure in coastal areas provides critical functions to increase coastal resiliency, manage flood risks, and enhance ecosystem services. Threats from sea level rise, increasing severe weather events, and urban densification intensify pressures on coastal environments and communities. Enhanced coastal resilience and natural infrastructure function requires new approaches. The Belle Isle Marsh presents a unique […]

Multi-Agency Kickoff Meeting – Quantifying Ecological Benefits Of Levee Setbacks
Flood control projects such as levees are part of the Nation’s aging infrastructure. After repeated flood damage and repairs, repairing in-place becomes challenging, especially with the possibility of more frequent or extreme flood events. Alternate approaches, such as levee setbacks, are being considered more frequently. As part of a recently initiated EWN research task (RT), […]
Coastal Canada Nature-Based Infrastructure Workshop Series
Cold regions experience some of the most dynamic hydrodynamic processes on the planet and are undergoing rapid environmental change from rising sea levels, increased storms, and melting permafrost. While there is no universally accepted definition of a cold region or cold climate, it generally includes regions that experience harsh winter storms and ice, scouring currents […]
N-EWN Seminar: Economic Valuation of Nature-Based Infrastructure
