Presentation Abstract:
How does coastal modeling contribute to costal sustainability? Resilience Live Episode 3 explores how vulnerable coastal communities can adapt to or mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Mr. Phillip Lapidez presents the processes that were used on a project conducted that was conducted in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia as a concrete example of how hydrologic modeling can be used to formulate sustainable solutions.
