ORE Seminar: Designing More Resilient Coastal Communities

October 9, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Mānoa Campus, POST 723

---

The earth’s population has become increasingly urban in character, with the number of megacities more than quadrupling to 44 over the past 30 years. A majority (2/3) of these cities are located on the coastal ocean, meaning that a growing share of the world’s population lives in harm’s way due to the risks associated with coastal storms and flooding. These risks have been significantly magnified by climate change. This presentation will discuss the implications of human activity on the coastal ocean, and the prospects for reducing the vulnerability of urban coastal communities via science-informed public policy and urban design. // Michael Bruno Professor, ORE, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹
