Abstract

Professor Gordon McBean, current Board Chair of SysTem for Analysis, Research and Training (START) talks candidly of the Coastal Cities at Risk (CCaR) project and how resilience can be forged for vulnerable regions. The CCaR project will develop the knowledge base and enhance capacity of mega-cities to successfully adapt to and cope with risks posed by the effects of climate change, including sea level rise. “One of the outcomes will be a cadre of new scientists who through their own research and teaching will extend the research to other areas,” McBean concludes.
