How Mangroves Can Increase Hurricane Resilience
09/03/19
“How can mangroves provide protection against climate change?”
As the world deals with the changing climate, heavier hurricanes will penetrate the world. One natural way to build hurricane resilience is to rely upon coastal mangrove forests. Mangroves can block the passage of water through them, providing friction against storm surges. This is How Mangroves Can Increase Hurricane Resilience.
Hurricane Resilience

“How can we make our infrastructure more resilient against hurricanes?”
With the advent of climate change, hurricanes are becoming more and more powerful. Just by witnessing the devastating aftermath from storms such as Katrina and Marina one can see that infrastructure in storm-prone areas needs to be redeveloped around Hurricane Resilience. Hurricane resilience can take many forms, such as hardening structures against wind to making streets more permeable to an influx of water.
Discrete Reliability Function

“How can we have a reliability function in a discrete form?”
Reliability functions are useful for predicting how long a component will last for. However, sometimes real-world data will not give a continuous output. This can be solved by using a Discrete Reliability Function which is more flexible to such needs.
