With sea-level rise (SLR) estimates of 1 to 5 m predicted for the Chignecto Isthmus by 2100, and more intense storms another likely consequence of climate change, Nova Scotia Transportation and...
Purpose of the project includes: A methodology to assess the vulnerability of fishery and aquaculture infrastructure; An inventory of relevant infrastructure in the ACAS areas.; A description of...
Nova Scotia’s road and rail gateways to Canada are situated within the Chignecto Isthmus – a low-lying area that is vulnerable to rising sea levels and storm surges from both the Bay of Fundy and...
Project Benefits
The project will generate information on the flooding risk areas in the Chignecto Isthmus, as well as provide considerations to decision makers and planners for adaptation management in the area.
Development of climate adaptation strategies, and subsequent decisions on which are the best options to pursue, require a quantifiable understanding of the infrastructure that is at risk due to...
Project Benefits
The project will contribute to the development of methodology and approaches by which impacts on infrastructure can be assessed by municipalities in Nova Scotia. The analyses will contribute to...
