Description
Representatives from Broward County Government and the U.S. Geological Survey provided a multidisciplinary audience with four challenge questions. Following a Sea Level Rise Expedition on October 26, 2015, natural and social scientists and managers from the local area participated in the scenario-based workshop at the Broward County Governmental Center. Attendees tackled issues related to the recurring flooding caused by sea level rise and issues surrounding a scenario that included an increasing frequency of severe storms associated with climate change. Challenge questions helped the researchers to discuss natural and nature-based approaches capable of improving the quality and resilience of economic, ecologic, and social systems.
