This research develops an online Coastal Collaborative GIS (CCGIS) using local knowledge inputs to supplement existing data, towards creating a low cost, user-friendly risk mapping system that can be used in any community.
Climate change and sea level rise affects Canada’s most sensitive coastlines. This research
proposal studies the community of Isle Madame in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The research
According to the IPCC (2007) fourth assessment report, small islands and coastal communities have a set of characteristics that makes them very vulnerable to climate change impacts, mainly sea-level rise and storm surges.
A spatial-temporal model is developed for modeling the impacts of simulated coastal zone storm surge and flooding, using a combined spatial mapping and system dynamics approach.
This project increases the preparedness of the community of Grande Riviere, Trinidad, by developing a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) model, to illustrate potential flooding areas associated with sea level rise.
Climate change is being accompanied by rising sea levels and shifts in
precipitation patterns worldwide. This phenomenon is increasing the frequency
and severity of flooding events in Georgetown, which is already vulnerable due
Grande Riviere is a coastal community that lies at that backshore of the
Grande Riviere beach on the Northern coastline of Trinidad. This beach is famous
This study assesses the expected impacts of sea level rise on one of the coastal communities of Trinidad, Grande Riviere.
