Description
The Geological Services Division (GSD) of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) operates a longterm program to map the vulnerability of the province’s coast to flooding and erosion. The division is building capacity within the provincial government to undertake this work. Currently, we have one geologist assigned full time to the coastal mapping program, with one geologist and a GIS specialist working part time on the program. The longer term goal is to provide relevant geoscience information and expertise to provincial and municipal agencies to assist with planning for adapting to climate change in coastal areas. The GSD sees participating in the Regional Adaptation Collaborative (RAC) Atlantic Climate Adaption Solutions (ACASA) program as an important opportunity to build partnerships and working relationships with government and non‐government agencies dealing with coastal science and climate change.
