Feasibility of Harbor-wide Barrier Systems

Abstract

In 2016 the City of Boston released Climate Ready Boston (Climate Ready Boston, 2016). This major initiative to organize a citywide response to climate change included detailed climate change projections, a vulnerability assessment, and proposals for adapting to climate change. Effective policies can lessen the long-germ threat and ensure that the city, the Greater Boston area and the region are better prepared for the sea level rise (SLR) and extreme weather events we are already beginning to experience. – from introduction
