Coastal Defense Engineering Simulator
Interactive 3D simulation of coastal climate-adaptation engineering: raise a sea wall, plant a mangrove buffer and size a drainage pump to hold back a storm surge and keep a coastal town from flooding.
Climate adaptation is as much about engineering as it is about ecosystems: sea walls, storm-surge barriers, drainage pumps and nature-based buffers all have to be sized against a real, quantified threat. This simulation lets you dial in a storm surge and then defend a coastal town with a sea wall, a mangrove buffer, a drainage pump network, and — as a last resort — managed retreat, watching in real time whether the town floods, and by how much.
Defend a coastal town against a storm surge by sizing a sea wall, a mangrove buffer and a drainage pump network, or retreating buildings inland, and watch in real time whether floodwater overtops the defenses.
