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 […]
