Klaus Jacob
Geophysicist at Columbia University in the City of New York with current focus on sustainable disaster resilience of global cities, including NYC and its infrastructure.
A nice article about NYC and sea level rise written for the German Greenpeace Magazine by Martin Theis with photos by Mark Hartman. It also has a little bit of a personal touch. While the interview occurred pre-Covid-pandemic, little has changed for NYC's adaptation to sea level rise and storm surge resilience, except of course sea level has risen an inch or so.

3 年Interessanter Artikel besonders wenn man beruecksichtigt wie langsam diese Bedrohungen in die Planung dieser [NYC] und anderer Staedte einbezogen wird. Wann werden Immobilienpreise diese Riskiofaktoren mit einbeziehen ist eine gute Frage.
