Better protection of coastal infrastructure

06.06.2024

BREMEN. Climate change poses new challenges for the North Sea, Baltic Sea and hinterland. Besides the probable rise of sea levels, climate researchers also predict more extreme weather events such as flooding, storms and heavy rainfall. To prevent the failure of critical infrastructures such as energy grids and seaports as well as to ensure the population’s supply, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is now conducting research on improving forecasting capabilities as part of the project “Resilient supply infrastructure and flow of goods in the context of extreme weather events along the coast” (RESIKOAST).
