As natural hazards impact coastal areas, tools that can model potential future scenarios are essential for planners. In a recent article published on DredgeWire, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) researchers Nick Cohn and Dylan Anderson discuss advanced modeling tools that forecast the evolution of coastal dunes, a vital natural barrier against flooding. These tools support risk-based planning by providing a range of future scenarios, allowing planners to evaluate best and worst-case outcomes in coastal resilience efforts. This research aligns with Engineering With Nature’s mission to develop practical, nature-based solutions for resilient coastlines.
