Description
Historically, there has always been a close relationship between Atlantic Canadians and the ocean; however, under climate change this relationship is evolving. In collaboration with the Atlantic Climate Adaptation Solutions (ACASA) project, the overall purpose of this research was to develop a tool which determines the vulnerability of a macrotidal coastal environment, such as those found in the Bay of Fundy, to the increased risk of storm surges associated with climate change, based on several physical and anthropogenic parameters.
