Webinar: Climate Change – Adapting to Sea Level Rise
Thursday, April 18, 2024 | 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Due to climate change, sea levels along the U.S. coasts are expected to rise about 11 inches over the next 30 years. These increases, along with changing storm patterns, will result in severe flooding, erosion, and rising groundwater tables. What are the methods and technologies that will help us adapt to the impacts of these events? Three industry experts lead a compelling discussion of one of the most important environmental challenges facing the nation and the world today.
