Island resilience to tropical cyclones and rising sea levels

该项目旨在建立一个动态模型，以解决热带气旋和风暴潮等高能事件后低洼岛屿被淹没的全球问题。 这些事件威胁到沿海生境和生物多样性，在最坏的情况下，使人口流离失所。 该模型将确定面临淹没风险的岛屿，从而使政府能够采取适当的缓解和/或适应战略，以改善岛屿经济、社会和生物价值的成果。

This project aims to produce a dynamic model to address the global problem of low-lying island inundation following high-energy events, such as tropical cyclones and storm surges. These events threaten coastal habitats and biodiversity, and in worst cases, displace human populations. The model will identify islands at risk to inundation thereby enabling governments to adopt appropriate mitigation and/or adaptation strategies to improve outcomes for island economic, societal and biological values.
