Description

Blue Dunes explores the design of artificial barrier islands to protect the Mid-Atlantic region from climate change. This book examines the complex research agenda of an interdisciplinary team tackling extreme weather and sea level rise, balancing scientific, political, and economic considerations.

The authors delve into the challenges and contradictions faced by this unlikely team of analysts, architects, ecologists, engineers, physicists, and planners, as they strive to develop practical solutions within the limits of science and human ingenuity.
