Lecture of Opportunity - Coastal Hazards and Port Infrastructure

This Lecture of Opportunity took place on November 7, 2023. The views presented by the faculty or other guest speakers do not reflect official positions of the Naval War College, DON or DOD. Synopsis: Sea level rise, increased storminess and land changes due to tectonic activity threaten South America’s western coasts with flooding, beach erosion and infrastructure damage. The relatively frequent occurrence of large earthquakes and tsunamis, along with climate-driven changes in oceanographic conditions, provide unique conditions to discuss on rapid response strategies after natural and human induced disasters, as well as long term adaptation measures for critical facilities, such as military or commercial ports. In this talk, I'll provide some of the evidence coined in our group in the southamerican region and will propose some ideas which could be useful elsewhere in the world.
