The long-term success of these solutions depends equally on the capacity for a particular solution to achieve desired outcomes, and the ability of this infrastructure to withstand both current and future environments. Coastal hydrodynamics models for waves, SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model, and storm surge, Delft 3D, will be used to assess potential storm surge levels and wave action along parts of coastal Newfoundland and Labrador. Results will be used to identify study sites that are vulnerable to such events at present, or in the future, where nature-based infrastructure solutions can be used as part of climate change adaptation measures. Climate change adaptation strategies using nature-based solutions to coastal protection infrastructure will be explored at the identified study site(s)., description french : Modélisation des vagues côtières et des ondes de tempête pour évaluer la vulnérabilité des communautés aux impacts du changement climatique, avec des applications aux solutions fondées sur la nature pour l’adaptation des infrastructures côtières, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 1 time(s).
