Improving Coastal Resilience Through Physical Modelling 

June 5th @ 1:00pm eastern

Experts from the National Research Council of Canada’s Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre work to meet the challenges of climate change, and protect infrastructure, property, and people from severe weather events and other environmental risks. Join Scott Baker to learn about coastal engineering and how important physical modelling is to conducting applied hydraulic research. Through physical modelling, coastal engineers recreate various environments such as ports, coastal, estuary, and riverine settings in order to develop innovative engineering solutions to improve the resilience of coastal structures. This a hands-on approach to develop new engineering designs to mitigate coastal erosion, improve beaches, ports and harbours, and to keep coastal populations and the environment safe.
