Congratulations to Daniel Henstra, CCRF Steering Committee member, on the beginning of a new project entitled "Coastal Flood Risk Governance in a Changing Climate".
Funded through the MEOPAR Network (2018-2021), this project analyzes the effectiveness of Canada’s flood risk governance arrangements as they play out in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Vancouver, British Columbia.
Using climate change-adjusted flood hazard maps and annual loss estimates produced by the expert hazard modelling firm JBA Risk Management, Daniel and fellow researchers will create state-of-the-art 3-D visualizations of future coastal flood risk. These will be the basis for Risk Dialogues with stakeholders to identify strategies to achieve coastal flood resilience in a changing climate.
