Enhanced Resilience of the Built and Natural Environment
• Focus: New ways to make infrastructure more resilient to both short-term hazard events and long-term coastal change
• Projects:– Coupling coastal processes with engineered
and evolved landforms
– Integrating prognostic/diagnostic tools with enhanced observability
– New paradigms and criteria for resilient design
– Modeling the resilient behavior of interdependent infrastructures
– Advances in cyberinfrastructure to support resilient design and system management
