  • Adapting engineered systems to climate impacts from changing Atlantic ocean currents.
    Event Type: Talk or debate
    20 May 2025 12:00 to 13:00
    Webinar
    A slowdown of ocean currents associated with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the resulting change to climates has profound implications for the outcomes of our strategies for adaptation and resilience. This webinar will consider the potential climate changes, possible impacts on the built environment and engineered infrastructure, and how we should account for these in the development of adaptation and resilience building activities, including design methods and codes.
